Stanley's Story

Hi everyone! My name is Stanley aka Stan the Man. I had been adopted but returned through no fault of my own. You see, my previous guardian noticed I was peeing a lot and peeing outside of the litter box. They took me to VCA Valley Animal Hospital for a good checkup where they decided to run some blood work. When the results came back, it turned out I was Diabetic! Unfortunately, my previous guardian knew they could not provide the care I needed with consistent insulin injections. When RVSPCA heard about my new diagnosis, they took me back in. Fortunately, they contacted one of the Licensed Technicians at VCA Valley Animal Hospital if she would be willing to foster me while we figured out my Diabetes. She agreed and I&#39;ve been staying with her since August! I think I&#39;m a good room mate. Ever since starting insulin injections, I feel much better and use the litter box like I&#39;m supposed to. I get fed a special wet food and it&#39;s very yummy and I eat it right up. I don&#39;t even notice the small pokes! While my foster and VCA Valley Animal Hospital were figuring out my Diabetes, I got very sick. It also turns out I have a specific type of Heart Disease called Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy (HCM). This means the walls of my heart are thickened. Thankfully, my foster and the staff at VCA Valley Animal Hospital and Virginia Tech got me started on new medications. I&#39;ve been doing really well on these new meds. My foster puts them in a little treat, pops them in my mouth, she says I&#39;m the best cat to give meds to! Don&#39;t let my face deter you. I&#39;m a lover! I love pets and head scratches. I even like my chest and belly rubbed. While I might not be a lap cat, I&#39;ll keep you company, laying beside you. I also enjoy laying in the sun! My foster says I have the loudest motor. But that just means more love to give you! I love scratching posts and I love cat wand toys! I&#39;m a laid back easy going kitty. However, I do not enjoy car rides, they make me anxious and I tend to have some accidents in my carrier. I also get very alarmed with something called a vacuum. Those things shouldn&#39;t exist. <br/><br/> Primary Color: White Secondary Color: Grey Weight: 16.0625lbs Age: 6yrs 3mths 2wks Animal has been Neutered

Roanoke Valley SPCA's Adoption Policy
Finding your new best friend at the Roanoke Valley SPCA You have an empty spot in your heart and home that only a pet can fill. Maybe you’ve visited the Animal Gallery on the Roanoke Valley SPCA website or seen some of our pets posted on Petfinder.com or other websites. Because many pets do not stay at the shelter long enough to have their photo taken and be placed on the website, you will find more available pets at the facility than online. So, what’s the next step to finding the perfect pet for your home? Meet the pets in person Our adoption process is simple! Come into the shelter and visit with the pets. Our adoption counselors will talk with you about the pets and help you find a good match for your home and lifestyle. You will want to allow yourself ample time to look at all available pets and learn as much as possible about the one(s) that may be appropriate for your lifestyle. We suggest adopters bring resident dogs, children, and family members in to meet the pet prior to making that final decision. Purchasing the basics, such as a crate of appropriate size, leashes, collars, and food and water dishes will make your new pet’s arrival much easier on everyone. Most items can be found for sale in our lobby, so if you fall in love while you are here, you will be all set. Hold Policy The Roanoke Valley SPCA allows reservations on pets at our adoption center only to allow another household member to meet the pet and/or to allow pet-to-pet introductions (typically resident dog meeting potential new dog). A 24-hour reservation may be placed on adult dogs weighing more than 20 lbs. A 4-hour reservation may be placed on dogs under 6 months of age or any dog weighing 19 lbs. or less. If the reserve requirements are satisfied and result in an adoption, the deposit will be applied toward the adoption fee; otherwise, the deposit is non-refundable. About your new pet All pets available for adoption have been behaviorally evaluated, examined by our staff veterinarian, and treated for any health issues. They have been tested for canine/feline diseases, spayed or neutered, received routine vaccinations (appropriate to their age), been microchipped, and have received a heavy dose of love and attention from all of our staff and volunteers.
