Tilly's Story

Tilly is a sweet cat overall, who only suffers from a bit too much enthusiasm at times. Most time, she is sweet as pie and will not bother you. But if you play with her, and get her too riled up, she can play quite aggressively, using her claws and biting.<br/><br/>She doesn't pull her punches. So she needs to be an only cat in the house (Tilly also doesn't like other cats) and she needs to have an experienced cat owner, who is not surprised when cat play gets rough.<br/><br/>She is affectionate and sweet at all other times.

She doesn't pull her punches. So she needs to be an only cat in the house (Tilly also doesn't like other cats) and she needs to have an experienced cat owner, who is not surprised when cat play gets rough.

She is affectionate and sweet at all other times.

Animal Preservation of East Texas (APET)'s Adoption Policy

We have potential adopters apply for the animal they are wishing to adopt. We try to have an indepth conversation about what kind of pet they are seeking, which ones would be the best fit for them, and do they have the necessary home environment for the animal they wish to adopt. If we feel they meet the criteria for the home, we then ask to be allowed to contact their vet to make sure any other animals on the home are spayed/nuetered and up to date on vaccines. If we have any doubts at all, we schedule a home visit. We go out to the adopter's home and check their fence, their home, and any other animals they own. All of their own animals must be spayed and neutered and up to date on vaccines or they are not allowed to adopt any of ours. If everything passes inspection, they adoption is allowed to proceed and they return to the shelter to pick up the animal. Most times however, just having a conversation is sufficient. We make a copy of their ID, we have them fill out the application, we go over the most important parts of the application that we feel they need to pay attention to, and we allow the adoption to proceed.
