Hello, my name is Albert. I am a very handsome cat with a story to tell. I'll get to that in a moment. First, a bit about me. I am unbelievably friendly. The rescue volunteers tell me that I'm one of the most outgoing, friendly, affectionate cats they've ever rescued. Well, that's probably true. I have a lot to be thankful for and I owe it all to people. I LOVE everyone. I get along well with dogs who are cat friendly. I have a mellow, laid back personality. I enjoy lounging and playing with toys. I am also a total ham for cat treats. I will do just about anything for cat treats. I love being petted and groomed, cuddled and loved. I am well behaved and always use a litterbox like a good boy. I'm a gem! So, here's my story of how I came to be with Paws for Life. I lost my family, but found my way into a community cat colony. Most of the cats in this group are unsocialized with no interest in human interaction. Not me, though. I love people. One day, around feeding time, I wandered into a trap and was whisked away to the vet clinic to be neutered. Once under anesthesia, things started to go badly. I turned blue. The clinic was going to kill me, but a rescuer was there and asked permission to try to save me. It worked! I went to a full vet hospital where they took great care of me and pretty much brought me back from near death. We discovered I have a little hole in my heart, but that hasn't slowed me down. I get medication twice a day and I am good about taking them. I am really good about everything. All I need is a calm and quiet home since sudden, loud noises and too much chaos scare me. A calmer household suits me well since I'm such a mellow, laid back guy. I like to amble around the house and follow you around. I love sitting in front of a window, watching the birds and the world go by. I will talk to you, but not too much. More than anything, I am a great listener! I will be your best friend and the best companion you ever had. Please give me a chance! Apply today! Adoption fee: $60. Fee includes testing, deworming, vaccinations, spay/neuter, microchip and 30 days of free pet insurance.

Adoption Process: Complete the application at
www.pawsforliferescue.org. We then arrange a location, date and time for you to meet some pets. If the meeting goes well and everyone is happy, you begin the mandatory, minimum two-week adjustment period with the pet as part of your family. You will pay the non-refundable adoption fee at the start of the two-week adjustment period. This pending period allows your new dog or cat time to adjust to their new home, new people, new routine, etc., and for you to decide if it's a match and the right pet for you. At the end of two weeks (some people extend the adjustment time as needed and that's fine too), if everyone is happy, then we finalize the adoption. Feel free to email if you have any questions.
