Mareep came to the shelter from an area with a colony of unsocialized cats. Staff could tell that although skittish and standoffish that with time, patience and work she would learn to trust humans and could be a good companion. A staff member took her home to foster and work with her in a more comfortable environment. She has done a wonderful job settling into a foster home and getting more comfortable with humans. She always approaches her foster mom and welcomes her into the room and even occasionally rubs up on her legs. She can still be shy and skittish of loud noises and commotion. She does enjoy being pet on the head with gentle pets, but can get overwhelmed with vigorous petting and can mouth when she gets overstimulated. She does not tolerate being picked up and prefers all four paws on the floor. She loves food and meal times and gets very excited. When she's comfortable and feels like nobody is watching she enjoys playing with her toys as well. Mareep is being fostered with other cats and does okay with the other foster cats in the room, but she can be a bit bossy and standoffish sometimes with them. We feel she would be happiest as the only cat in the home so she can be the queen of the castle without any hassle. Due to her skittish nature it is recommended that her new home has no dogs and older children 12+. Mareep is in foster care, if you are interested in adoption please contact the shelter to arrange for a date for her to be brought in for a meet and greet. Being a shy girl she likely won't show her true personality during a meet and greet, but her foster has lots of pictures and videos to show what she is like once she settles and gets know you.

We require potential adopters to fill out an pre-adoption application. If that application is approved, the dog/cat must be spayed/neutered before it leaves our shelter (if not already done). If it is a puppy under 4 months old, we allow it to go home with the adopters under a foster care agreement until it is old enough to be returned for spay/neuter. Kittens are allowed to leave before spay/neuter is done, but they must be done within a certain time frame.
Fees: Dogs/puppies range from $150-300, depending on if they came in already spayed/neutered or if we paid to have that done.
Cats range from $80 - $140, though we often have deals on older cats or cats that have been there a long time.
Kittens are $60 with $25 refunded once it has been spayed/neutered.
All adoptions include at least the first vaccination, deworming, de-fleaing, microchip ID, and 6 weeks of pet insurance.
