Laki's Info...
| Breed: | Colorpoint Shorthair | Color: | Cream Or Ivory | Age: | Young |
| Sex: | Male | Hair: | Short |
Laki is an incredibly soft and sweet young boy looking for his forever family. Born the Spring of 2012, he is still very much a kitten, but with a maturity that leads him to prefer relaxing lazily with his person as much as romping playfully with the other kittens in his foster home.
Laki gets along well with other cats and enjoys exploring the toys in his new foster home. He seems to be unphased by the 90lb dog that visits him and the other cats throughout the day, instead watching him curiously as the dog rolls around in the grass.
He takes to new people quickly, purring loudly at first pet. He would likely do well in any home, but may prefer a home with another cat that he can play with throughout the day.
Email sunshine@bhsva.org or call 540-586-6100 for an application if you’re interested in meeting this handsome boy.
Rescue Group Info...
The Bedford Humane Society is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization founded in 1994 and dedicated to eliminating the overpopulation of cats and dogs in Bedford County through education, spay/neuter programs, and companion animal adoptions. We are NOT the tax-funded Bedford County shelter on Falling Creek Road, although we do try to help the animals there whenever possible. Our adoptable pets live in volunteer foster homes where they receive the care and attention they deserve while awaiting a permanent home.
Our various programs for Bedford County and City of Bedford residents include::
•A low cost spay/neuter program for area pets
•The construction of a no kill animal shelter, The Vernon D Lybolt Adoption Center, at 829 Ole Turnpike Road in Bedford.
•Find homes for abandoned and homeless animals through our adoption and transport programs.
•Help pet owners with unexpected expenses involving their pets, through our Emergency Fund program.
•Provide humane traps and spay/neuter subsidies for feral cats through our Forgotten Felines program.
•Humane Education program for area Scout troops and schools.
Until we are able to build our No-Kill Shelter, our adoptable pets live in foster homes throughout Bedford County and surrounding areas. If you are interested in meeting a pet, please submit an adoption application or contact our main office.
We also hold monthly adoption events at our Headquarters and the Bedford Tractor Supply. Visit our website or our Facebook page for dates and times. If you would like to be added to our monthly events email list, please send a request to info@bhsva.org.
Have you discovered a pet you wish to adopt? Great!
Now, the first step is to complete an adoption application on our website at http://bhsva.org/adoptions-home.htm. This is not a commitment to adopt. It is simply the first step in the process.
We will review your application for preliminary approval before asking the foster parent to contact you to set up a time to meet the pet. You may also have concerns about how the animal will fit your home environment. When the foster parent contacts you, you will be able to discuss your concerns with someone who has first-hand experience with the pet.
After you meet the animal, you and the foster parent can decide if this is definitely the forever pet for you.
