Whitney is a beautiful and petite sweetheart who is ready for her very own home where she can relax and enjoy a soft bed and snuggle every day. She LOVES to be scratched and snuggled. She is not fond of being held or picked up, but will happily snuggle in your lap. When her bed gets washed or she gets new blankets she loves to make biscuits and purr with excitement. She absolutely loves attention and will rub against you and purr whenever you walk in a room or just to remind you she is there. Getting pictures of her is difficult because she wants to be right on you and lying by you as you get closer to her. She will happily play with toys and chase feathers. She is very calm and likes to look out the window or snuggle in your lap and watch TV. She is not fond of dogs, and more recently has expressed a desire to be an only cat as well. Her favorite is any human who will give her face rubs or head scratches. Her foster family has older children (8+ years of age); she does well with them and enjoys snuggles from all visitors. Whitney's adoption fee is $75.
Adoption Process
We have an extensive application process where veterinary references are checked (we require all current and past animals have been altered and that the client shows a history of good vet care) and we has a number of questions targeted at encouraging the adopting family to really consider if they are ready financially and emotionally to support an animal life long. We also try to match the right animal with the right home with consideration to the adopters previous animal experience, energy level, and general personality. After reviewing and approving and applicant (on paper), we meet with them and all members of their house hold including other resident dogs. We offer one week trials to ensure this decision is in the best interest of both human and animal. If all parties are confident upon meeting, then we have a contract which also states that if any anytime they are unable to keep the animal, that they will return in to our organization. Adoption fees vary from $100-275 based on age, size, and breed, with $175 as an average.
