Female Cat, Domestic Short Hair
Domestic Short Hair (Short Coat)
Description:
Tank is a a sweet, gentle girl who has had a long, happy life and would love to find a new favorite human to spend her final years with. At seventeen years old, she is no longer able to jump into your lap on her own, but she will happily curl up in it if you help her get there. She loves Netflix nights! She is very docile and loves being held; with no do-not-touch zones, she loves to be petted and brushed anywhere. She'll happily lie on her back while her rear claws are trimmed (she's been front declawed, so there are only two feet to trim). She can be shy at first but has become bolder with age (she does spook easily at loud noises). She's lived with a dog and with another cat but generally keeps to herself or her humans; she's also lived with kids and does great with them if they're not rough with her. Because she is well into her golden years, Tank's body has developed some extra needs; she has long been diagnosed with hyperthyroidism, which is managed by twice-daily pills and prescription food, and more recently we've found a heart murmur, and her kidney levels have been high; our vet suspects the kidney abnormalities may be the result of not getting consistent meds due to her previous owner's financial struggles, but her kidneys will need ongoing monitoring. Tank's adoption fee is $75.Interested in this animal? The first step is an application, which can be completed at www.cvrrescue.org/adoption-applications/. The adoption fee helps cover a portion of the care provided for our animals, including spay/neuter, microchip, heartworm testing for dogs, FeLV/FIV combo testing for cats, deworming, age-appropriate vaccines (including rabies vaccine), and any medical care received while in our care. All cats and dogs are on flea/tick and parasite prevention for the duration of foster care. Notes about puppies: Adopters can expect a new puppy to have accidents, chew things they shouldn't, and have other normal, energetic puppy issues until they are trained, including jumping, mouthing, and general youthful naughtiness. If you experience puppy issues, please feel free to contact us; we’re happy to offer guidance. Also, if a puppy is a mixed breed, we cannot guarantee an adult weight. If your residence has weight restrictions or if you’re looking for a specific adult weight, we don't recommend applying for a mixed-breed puppy. We also offer rehoming services for pets currently owned by individuals. In these cases, we list the animal as a courtesy to the owner, and the animal is not currently in the care of CVRR, such that we can make no representation or guarantee of the animal’s behavior, demeanor, or health assessment. All information listed for a courtesy-posted animal is provided by the current owner and should be verified by any potential adopter. CVRR is a nonprofit organization. We have no paid staff, and all applications are reviewed and processed by our volunteers. Please be patient and understand that it may take 7-14 days to process your application, check your references, and gather follow-up info. You can expedite the process by providing accurate phone numbers and email addresses for your vet and landlord references, and by answering each question fully. Once your application is approved, we will schedule a meet-and-greet to see if the animal picks you, too. If it seems the adoption will be a good match for all, we will collect the adoption fee and complete the adoption contract. CVRR is a NO KILL rescue organization, and we have a LIFETIME COMMITMENT to all of our animals. If for any reason the adoption does not work out, the animal must be returned to CVRR. We will reevaluate the animal and choose a new home based on the best fit for it.
