Freddie, Domestic Shorthair For Adoption In Toronto, Ontario

Location:

Toronto, ON

Description:

Freddie is a lovely, sweet, shy boy who will be an adorable addition to your home.Freddie's two favourite things in life are cuddles and food. He is very vocal and will meow to chat with you all through the day. He'll meow to say hi, meow to ask for pets, and meow out of sheer joy when it's time for dinner!Freddie is an apprehensive kitty, who does not like loud noises or busy movements. He takes a little bit to warm up to you but when he does, you'll know because he will be nuzzling you and purring loudly. He would do best in a relaxed household with a few people to give him love. He likes to have a den to retreat and relax, but also loves to explore and sniff around.Freddie has good litter-box habits, good eating habits, will love to sleep in bed with you, and has fun playing with string toys and balls. Freddie previously had bad dental disease and most of his teeth have been removed - he only has 9 left. He eats wet food with some water mixed in, and loves wet treats like churu.His blood pressure and thyroid hormone levels are borderline high - he does not currently have either of these conditions, but should be monitored in case he develops them. He also has a heart murmur and had a cardiac ultrasound, but it could not conclusively determine if he had normal benign heart variation or early hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. A follow up blood test that can help identify heart disease was normal, but to be as safe as possible the cardiologist recommended a recheck cardiac ultrasound. All of these tests would next be due in July 2024.A veterinary diet with a urinary protection index is recommended as he has had crystals in his urine, and fish oil supplements are recommended for his heart health.Freddie is up to date on his vaccines, and like all ACR cats he has been treated preventatively for fleas and intestinal parasites.Adoption process If you are thinking of adopting a cat or kitten, please contact us. Annex Cat Rescue has matched over 1000 cats and kittens with good adoptive homes since our group started! Annex Cat Rescue cats live in real homes with our foster volunteers -- not in cages! This way, the cats live in normal homes and receive good food and medical care -- and lots of personal attention. We get to know each cat, so we can help you find the best cat for you. It's kind of like a kitty match-making service! All of our cats are vaccinated, have been de-wormed, and are spayed or neutered once they reach six months of age. We are always available if you have questions or concerns as your new cat is adjusting to your home. Here is our adoption process: Please leave a voice mail or email. One of our Adoption Team volunteers will contact you to find out more about the kind of kitty you are looking for. We will suggest which of our cats might be the best match for you, and put you in touch with a few foster homes for you to contact. You can go and visit the cat in the foster home and see if you think it's a match. If you fall in love on the spot (so easy with kitties!) we ask you to go home and think about it overnight, since it's an important decision for you and for the kitty. Then, if it's a match, you can bring your cat carrier (and the adoption fee -- which is modest and does not cover all of our expenses) then take your kitty home! We ask all adopters to sign our adoption agreement, which just sets out some basics so we all understand our roles, with the kitty's best interests first and foremost! A day or two later, we'll call you to make sure all is well and provide any suggestions that might be helpful, if needed. The Annex Cat Rescue's motto is "Cat Adoption with a Difference." If the adoption does not work out (a rare occurrence, in part due to our excellent "match-making"!), whatever the reason, the cat will always be welcomed back to our organization. We want the best for our kitties! Please contact us today!Shelter locationThe Annex Cat Rescue is a grassroots community organization. We are 100% non-paid volunteer-run. Our organization attempts to make a real difference for the homeless, stray and abandoned cats in this city through direct intervention and education. Every day, many people turn to us for help when Toronto Animal Services cannot. ACR does *not* run an animal shelter. All of our cats/kittens live in volunteer foster homes across Toronto where they are allowed to blossom and grow in a "home" environment (rather than in cages), and where they receive individual attention and love. While this prevents possible behavioural problems associated with caging animals, this also allows us to get to know each animal intimately and thus we can make excellent matches with adopters. Potential adopters are required to make appointments to view the animals in their respective homes. Our organization is "no kill". This means that cats in our care remain in foster homes are not euthanized (except for dire humane reasons). City shelters do not have such a policy.
