Sprout's Story

(français ci-dessous) Meet Sprout, a very playful dilute calico kitten. She is around 5-6 months old. Sprout was brought to our shelter recently along with her sisters Gigi and Whisper, also available for adoption. Because of their young age, we believe these kittens would adjust easily to a home with other cats and a friendly dog. Sprout is quite shy by nature but can be won over with patience and treats. One of Sprout's eyes was affected by an untreated infection in early life. There is no need for medical treatment for that eye. She sees out of it but her vision is probably blurry. Her vision in the other eye is normal. Sprout has been to the vet to be tested, vaccinated and spayed. She is ready to go to her forever home. If you're interested in adopting this playful kitten, please give our assistant cat adoption coordinator Diane a call at 514-483-2619 or e-mail her at dianecameron@sympatico.ca . Would you like to help us care for Sprout? If so, click the "Become a Sponsor" button to the right of her photos. That will take you to a page where you can donate any amount you like to help with Sprout's care. 100% of the amount you donate will go to the shelter and we will be notified that you would like your donation to be used for Sprout. *************** Voici Sprout, une petite chatte calico très joueuse. Elle est âgée d'environ 5 à 6 mois. Sprout a récemment été amenée à notre refuge avec ses sœur Gigi et Whisper, également disponibles à l'adoption. En raison de leur jeune âge, nous pensons que ces chatons s'adapteraient facilement à un foyer où vivent d'autres chats et un chien amical. Sprout est assez timide de nature, mais on peut l'apprivoiser avec de la patience et des friandises. L'un des yeux de Sprout a été affecté par une infection non traitée au début de sa vie. Cet œil ne nécessite aucun traitement médical. Elle voit bien de cet œil, mais sa vision est probablement floue. La vision de son autre œil est normale. Sprout a été examinée par un vétérinaire, vaccinée et stérilisée. Elle est prête à rejoindre son foyer pour la vie. Si vous souhaitez adopter cette petite chatonne joueuse, veuillez communiquer avec notre assistante coordinatrice des adoptions de chats, Diane, au 514-483-2619 ou par courriel à dianecameron@sympatico.ca. Souhaitez-vous nous aider à prendre soin de Sprout ? Si oui, cliquez sur le bouton « Become a Sponsor » à droite de ses photos. Vous serez redirigé vers une page (en anglais) où vous pourrez faire un don du montant de votre choix pour aider à prendre soin de Sprout. La totalité du montant de votre don sera reversée au refuge et nous serons informés que vous souhaitez que votre don soit utilisé pour Sprout.

Frontier Animal Society's Adoption Policy

CATS When placing a cat into an adoptive home, our primary goal is to ensure that the adopter is the right match for that particular cat. It is very traumatic for both the cat and the adopting family if the cat has to return to the shelter. We also want to be sure that the adopter is ready for this responsibility and commitment. We feel it is already very positive that you are choosing to adopt rather than buy a cat from a pet store (which is more often than not from a kitten mill). Our Procedure for Adopting a Cat The adoption/inquiry process starts by either sending us an email or by contacting our adoption coordinator directly by phone. During the initial contact we can answer your questions, and we will have some of our own as well, such as what type of home you can provide and what kind of cat you are looking for--energy level, types of activities you do, length of time the cat would be alone during a typical day, other animals in the house, children and age of children, male/female preference, and any other of your important criteria for choosing a specific cat. Some of our potential adopters are interested in meeting a particular cat while others prefer to come to the shelter to meet a few of our adoptable cats and choose among them. Either way, prior to your visit, you may want to have a conversation with our adoption coordinator and then make an appointment to visit the cat(s). We also offer an Open House every Saturday and Sunday morning from 10 to 12 when people can drop by the shelter and meet some of our cats. We like to talk to each potential adopter because we know our cats, and through conversation we can get a feel as to whether or not the cat you are interested in will be a match. If you aren't sure what type of cat is best suited to your lifestyle, we can often help narrow it down. Our preference is that all family members attend the adoption visit and if younger children live in the home, they should be present as well. DOGS When placing a dog into an adoptive home, our primary goal is to ensure that the adopter is the right match for that particular dog. It is very traumatic for both the dog and the adopting family if the dog has to return to the shelter. We also want to be sure that the adopter is ready for this responsibility and commitment. Depending on the dog's age at the time of adoption, dogs are a 10-15 year commitment. We feel it is already very positive that you are choosing to adopt rather than buy a dog from a pet store (which is more often than not from puppy mills) or from a breeder ! Our Procedure for Adopting a Dog The adoption/inquiry process starts by either sending us an email or by contacting our adoption coordinator directly by phone. During the initial contact we can answer your questions, and we will have some of our own as well, such as what type of home you can provide and what kind of dog you are looking for--energy level, types of activities you do, length of time dog would be alone during a typical day, other animals in the house, children and age of children, male/female preference, and any other of your important criteria for choosing a specific dog.

We like to talk to each potential adopter because we know our dogs, and through conversation we can get a feel as to whether or not the dog you are interested in will be a match. If you aren't sure yourself about which dog is best suited to your lifestyle, we can often help narrow it down. Following the phone conversation(s), we will arrange a visit to our shelter so you can meet the dog(s). You will have an opportunity to take the dog(s) for a walk and interact with them in our fenced-in dog park. If you already have a dog, we will ask that you bring him or her with you. Our preference is that all family members should attend the adoption visit and if younger children live in the home, they should be present as well. First Visit Adoptions We try to discourage first visit adoptions, because adoptions should not be an impulsive or emotional decision. It must be a well thought out, rational decision. You also need to prepare your home for the new pet. If a first visit adoption is anticipated (for example adopters living a distance away from the shelter), then reference checks must be made beforehand. Home checks are scheduled on a case by case basis.
