Shelby's Story

Shelby<br/>Short Hair Brown Tabby & White Spayed Female<br/>Estimated Birthday: 2/13/2024<br/><br/>If you’re looking for a sweet, loving kitty who will absolutely adore you once she knows she’s safe, Shelby might just be your girl. <br/><br/>Shelby is truly such a good kitty. She’s gentle, affectionate, easygoing, and loves attention — especially face scritches! Once she trusts you, she wants to be near you, soak up your affection, and be your biggest fan. She has so much love to give and is just waiting for the right person to give it to.<br/><br/>Shelby may need a little time to show you her full personality. In a new environment, she can be shy at first and may spend her first several days tucked away somewhere she feels safe. In her foster home, it took her about a week to really settle in — and then the sweet, affectionate girl underneath came shining through. <br/><br/>Give Shelby a little patience, kindness, and a quiet place to decompress, and you’ll be rewarded with a wonderful companion who considers you her person and her best friend.<br/><br/>She’s also an exceptionally good houseguest! Shelby has excellent litter box habits, is comfortable being left alone, and is happy in a peaceful home where she can relax and enjoy the attention she deserves. She would be a wonderful match for someone who wants a loving companion without an overly demanding personality.<br/><br/>Shelby has seen dogs and may be able to live with a calm, cat-savvy dog who will respect her space, with a slow and careful introduction. Her experience with other cats is unknown, so any feline introductions should also be done gradually.<br/><br/>Because Shelby appreciates a calmer environment and a little patience while adjusting, a quieter home with older, cat-savvy children would be preferred.<br/><br/>Shelby’s story began when she was found outside during the cold Michigan winter. A kind person had been feeding her, and with a dangerous polar vortex approaching, people came together to get her safely indoors. Now that chapter of her life is behind her. She’s warm, safe, fully vetted, and ready for the best part of her story — a forever family of her own. <br/><br/>Shelby may not fall in love with you the minute you walk through the door — but give her a little time, and you just might end up with the most devoted little best friend you could ask for.<br/><br/>Shelby is spayed, vaccinated, microchipped, tested negative for FIV and FeLV, and has been treated for parasites. Her adoption fee is $125. All current pets must be fixed and up-to-date on vaccines.<br/><br/>Fill out our online application to get approved for a meet and greet:<br/>http://www.tigerlilyrescue.com/adoption-application/

Tigerlily Cat Rescue's Adoption Policy
* We do require adopters to be at least 21 years old. * If you are leasing, we do ask that you provide a copy of your rental agreement showing that cats are allowed. * We also ask that all adults living in the home agree with the adoption and addition of a feline friend to the family. * For families with young children (under 6), kittens over 6 months are best. * If the pet is to be alone for a significant amount of time, we ask that you consider adopting an older kitten or adult, or consider adopting two kittens to keep each other company. Young kittens are susceptible to social-depression if alone for a significant amount of time. * We also discourage "gift" adoptions unless it is from a parent to a minor child. Our adoption fee of $125 (cash/check) includes feline leukemia/FIV testing, deworming, flea preventative, microchip, and age-appropriate vaccines. All Tigerlily cats are thoroughly examined by a veterinarian. All cats and kittens are spayed/neutered prior to being available for adoption.
