Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Ghost is about 5 years old, came to us with a broken leg that has healed enough that surgery is NOT his best option at this point. He walks just fine may have some arthritis later.
He is SPECIAL NEEDS for that reason and this too: Ghost has
Feline Eosinophilic Granuloma Complex (EGC) which is
a set of common, often allergy-driven skin diseases in cats, characterized by inflammatory, itchy lesions like ulcers or bumps, typically on the lips, mouth, or thighs. It is usually triggered by immune system reactions to fleas, food, or environmental allergens. Treatment, including steroids, antibiotics, and allergy management, usually results in a good prognosis.
His EGC is well managed with periodic antibiotic and steroid shots, but that is a must consideration for any potential adopter. It is not a terribly expensive regimen but must be monitored an addressed as he needs.
Ghost is sweet and loving, I med him yesterday, he loves attention and gets a bit crossed eyed in his delight/pleasure when you caress him. He is playful and snuggly. He's accustomed to cats and dogs but a quieter home where he can be center of attention is likely best.

After you complete an application, there are several things that we will do:
1. We will check your personal references. Please be sure to list two personal references and include a phone number and an email address. (form asks for one; but I like two)
2. If you do not own your place of residence, we will call your landlord or leasing office. Please check with them first to learn about their pet policy.
3. We will call your veterinarian for a reference. We are looking for a history of annual exams, vaccines maintained routinely, annual heartworm tests and monthly preventatives. We require the following:
* All pets in the home must be spayed or neutered.
* If your pet is not up to date on vaccines, please do not submit the application until you have scheduled an appointment with the vet to get your pets current on their vaccines.
4. If you are a 1st-time pet owner, please include the name and phone number of the veterinarian you plan to use.
5. Be sure to call your Vet(s), giving them permission to speak with us.
6. We may need to do a home visit prior to approving your application, or post-adoption.
If these policies and practices are not acceptable, please do not apply.
