Starfish's Story

AGE: 3 Years<br/><br/>SEX: Female<br/><br/>BREED: Domestic Short Hair<br/><br/>ENERGY LEVEL: Medium<br/><br/>DOG FRIENDLY: Untested<br/><br/>CAT FRIENDLY?: Untested<br/><br/>KID FRIENDLY?: Untested<br/><br/>Meet Starfish! This sweet girl is a curious, playful, and very talkative kitty who loves having plenty to say. She starts her mornings by making sure everyone knows she’s ready for breakfast, then spends her day lounging in all her favourite spots - from dining chairs and cozy rugs to the bed and, when she’s feeling a little nervous, tucked away under the bed. She also loves playing with her string toy, whether she’s entertaining herself or inviting someone else to join in, and she’s always happy to settle in for some cuddles at bedtime.<br/><br/>Starfish is a well-behaved girl with a personality that keeps you on your toes. Her energy can vary throughout the day - sometimes she’s bouncing off the walls, sometimes she’s ready for cuddles, and sometimes she’s feeling a little anxious and would rather have some space. She’s incredibly curious and loves discovering new little crevasses to explore, and while she enjoys a good play session, she usually tires herself out fairly quickly before wandering off for another lounge. She’s also litter box trained and is highly motivated by her favourite treats, especially Churu. Like many cats, Starfish prefers to do things on her own terms and isn’t a fan of being picked up. She does enjoy pets and cuddles when she’s in the mood, but she’s very good at communicating when she’s had enough.<br/><br/>Starfish can be nervous and wary around new people, so she’ll need a patient adopter who understands feline body language and is willing to give her time to build trust. She would do best with someone who has experience with cats and can appreciate a girl who has a few boundaries to work through. She could thrive in a home of any size, but she’s likely best suited to an adult-only home without young children. Once she feels comfortable, her playful, affectionate, and wonderfully chatty personality shines through. If you’re looking for a young, wild, and slightly sassy companion who is still very much in need of some love, Starfish may be your girl!<br/><br/>Think you might be the right fit to provide a loving home Starfish?

New Collar Collective's Adoption Policy
ADOPTION PROCESS 1. Complete and submit an adoption application. All applications will be screened, and applicants will receive an email response letting you know whether your application has been approved to move to the next step in our process or not. If you have not received a response from us, first check your spam/junk folder before sending us an email. 2. You will be asked to submit two personal references, and a vet reference where applicable, as part of our process. Please make sure to let them know that they may be contacted by one of our volunteers. Veterinarian clinics will require your permission to share any information with our team. 3. A phone interview will be scheduled with one of our adoption coordinators via email or phone. 4. Your adoption coordinator will connect with one of our volunteers to schedule a home visit. Home visits will be completed virtually or in-person depending on available resources. If a virtual home visit is completed and there are any outstanding questions or concerns, New Collar Collective reserves the right to do a follow up (in person) home visit. Volunteers conducting virtual home visits will be required to direct the home visit so we are assured they have seen all areas of the home. Volunteers conducting in-person home visits will be encouraged to bring a friend along for their safety. In this case, you will be notified in advance. 5. A meet & greet will be coordinated with the animal’s foster. All members of the household (including dogs) will be required to attend the meet and greet. 6. Post meet & greet If there are no further questions or concerns, applicants will contact their adoption’s coordinator to let them know if they would like to move forward with the adoption. Adopters will be contacted to provide all contract requirements. ADOPTION POLICIES The policies outlined below are guidelines and there may be instances where an exception can be made upon the agreement of the adoption management/Board of Directors. Periodically, New Collar Collective will revisit these guidance policies to ensure they still meet the intended needs of the rescue. We do not adopt to applicants who live outside of our adoption radius. We do not ship dogs. Adopters are responsible for picking up their newly adopted pet. All pets in your household must be spayed and neutered. All pets in your household must be up to date with mandatory vaccinations. We do not allow applicants to test out a cat/dog before adoption. We expect that applicants will take the necessary time to meet with the dog or cat, talk with the foster, and ask lots of questions. Our rescues have already been through so much, we feel it is in their best interest that trials do not occur. *Exception for Foster-to-Adopt applicants All members of the household must be present during the Home Visit and the Meet and Greet. We do not adopt to families with children under the age of 4. The full adoption fee is due at the time of adoption. We do not offer payment plans.
