Simon, Domestic Shorthair For Adoption In Toronto, Ontario

Price:

$200

Location:

Toronto, ON

Description:

Microchipped, DOB: Feb 23, 2007 Simon has a delightful temperament and will never hiss or make a fuss about anything. He loves to play with the wand, laser toy, or the scratching bridge. He will remind you it's time to play by tapping you gently on the shoulder or leg when you are sitting in front of a screen, and while playing, he will never hurt you as his nails are fairly dull. He thrives in a routine of napping, sweet words, and tapping massage, lots of tapping! Simon took about six months to come out of his shell when I first started fostering him, but in the right home and knowing what he likes ahead of time, he could certainly show his sweet personality much faster. Simon is not a great eater and he can get bony really fast. To keep him on a healthy weight, he needs to be served small portions of wet food throughout the day and encouraged to eat it. The goal is for him to finish one can of wet food every 24 hours. At night he has access to a serving of dry food mixed with Plaque Off to improve his dental health and breath. Simon is a senior kitty and has kidney disease stage 3. To preserve his kidneys, he needs to eat a special diet according to vet's recommendations. He is very particular about the brands and flavour he likes. On the other hand, he lost interest in treats a few months back. He only drinks filtered water from his fountain to diminish the amount of minerals going through his kidneys, and he needs regular vet visits every 6-12 months. Simon needs to have his ear cleaned every other week with a round of cotton, otherwise he gets very itchy. His mobility is really good, but it is a good idea to keep an eye on him in situations where surfaces could be unstable, slippery, or too close to the edge as he could loose his footing and fall. Sweet Simon makes the cutest of noises! If you tap his body, especially his neck and back legs, he'll make a comforting cooing sound, almost like a dove! He loves getting into the shower right after someone just used it. He will even rush you out so he can get in! Silly old man. Simon gets along well with dogs and cats, and when he is at his happiest, he chases his own tail. He is a real gem and has been a pleasure to foster. Thank you for welcoming a senior cat into your family - an adoption fee of your choice is appreciated, vs. our standard adult cat adoption fee of $200.Adoption processAdoption fee is $200 per adult cat, and $250 for kittens (under 8 months old). This ensures that the cats that come into our care receive the attention they need, are spayed or neutered, and receive a rabies vaccination at the appropriate age. For City of Toronto residents, the adoption fee includes a mandatory City of Toronto cat license that is valid for one year. As you can imagine, these fees only begin to cover our costs; donations and ongoing fundraising efforts carry us the rest of the way! Note: -Senior cats (8 years or older) have an adoption fee of the adopter's choice, vs. our standard adult adoption fee of $200.-Our adoption fee for an adult bonded pair (8 months or older) is $150 per cat vs. $200 per cat. Thanks for giving two loving friends a home together!
