My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.

Calvin est arrivé au Réseau Secours Animal en février 2024 après avoir été trouvé errant dans le quartier de Montréal Nord au courant de l'automne 2023. Il est malheureusement porteur du virus de l'immunodéficience féline (VIF). Pour plus d'information sur le VIF:  https://www.veterinairesaucanada.net/ressources-associees/virus-de-l-immunodeficience-feline-fiv/  Malgré cela, il est en bonne santé et peut vivre une belle et longue vie à l'intérieur! Calvin a été très chamboulé par son arrivée au refuge. Il était extrêmement stressé et essayait de s'enfuir à la moindre occasion pendant sa période de quarantaine. Heureusement, une fois sorti de quarantaine, Calvin a rapidement retrouvé ses esprits. Il demeure un chat timide et nerveux, mais il apprécie maintenant les caresses qu'on a à lui offrir! Il faut toujours l'approcher avec beaucoup de douceur. C'est vraiment le mot clé pour lui. Pour cette raison, Calvin ne peut pas habiter dans une maison où il y a ou aura des enfants. Il s'entend bien avec les autres chats. Il est curieux et aime nous accueillir! Il aime beaucoup être en hauteur puisque cela le rassure. C'est vraiment un magnifique chat qui mérite une chance. Il n'aime pas être manipulé pour l'instant. Calvin est un chat adulte donc les frais d'adoption pour lui sont de 290$. Il est stérilisé, vacciné et  micropucé. Il est positif pour  le virus de l'immunodéficience féline (VIF), mais négatif pour la leucose féline (FeLV). Des assurances santé de 6 semaines viennent avec son adoption. Vous pourrez avoir recours à l'aide de l'équipe des adoptions aussi longtemps que vous en aurez besoin. Vous avez aussi droit, dans le premier mois suivant l'adoption, à une consultation vidéo de 30 minutes gratuite avec notre consultante en comportement félin FelineGood ( https://www.felinegood.ca ).     

 

Afin d'avoir une chance de l'adopter, veuillez remplir notre formulaire d'adoption directement sur notre site web:  https://www.reseausecoursanimal.org/nous-contacter/formulaire-adoption/  

 

 

Calvin arrived at the Animal Rescue Network in February 2024 after being found wandering in Montreal North in the fall of 2023. Unfortunately, he is a carrier of the feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV). For more information about FIV: https://www.vet.cornell.edu/departments-centers-and-institutes/cornell-feline-health-center/health-information/feline-health-topics/feline-immunodeficiency-virus-fiv    Despite this, he is in good health and can live a long and happy life indoors! Calvin was very upset when he arrived at the shelter. He was extremely stressed and tried to run away at every opportunity during his quarantine period. Fortunately, once out of quarantine, Calvin quickly came to his senses. He's still a shy, nervous cat, but he now appreciates being petted! He should always be approached very gently. That's really the key word for him. For this reason, Calvin cannot live in a house where there are or will be children. He gets on well with other cats. He's curious and loves to greet us! He loves being up high, as it reassures him. He's really a wonderful cat who deserves a chance. He doesn't like to be handled at the moment. Calvin is an adult cat so the adoption fees for him are $290. He is sterilized, vaccinated and microchipped. He is positive for the feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV) but negative for the feline leukaemia virus (FeLV). Health insurances are offered for the first 6 weeks following adoption. You will also have access to the help of the adoption team as long as you need it. You will also have access, for the first month following adoption, to a 30 minutes video consultation with our cat behaviour consultant FelineGood ( https://www.felinegood.ca ).

 

In order to get a chance to adopt him, please fill out our adoption directly on our website:  https://www.reseausecoursanimal.org/contacts/adoption-form/

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

All new adoption homes are carefully screened to determine if they are suitable. There is an adoption fee that includes the sterilization, initial vaccination of every animal, testing for FIV and FeLV of all cats at the shelter, and a 21 days trial period. A contract is always signed between the ARN and the adopter for their protection. A follow-up by an ARN adoption coordinator is often done either by telephone or by visit, and we also offer help/cousel for the life of the cat.

Go meet their pets

We hold weekly adoption clinics at pet supply stores throughout the Montreal area, and the South Shore to find permanent homes for our cats and dogs.
We'd love to meet you at our next adoption clinic!
