Story
DISCLOSURE: The adoptable pets in our program are still in the care and custody of owners who wish to re-home their pet. Owners have enlisted Rescue Well to provide marketing and screening of applicants as a service, free of charge. All fees and adoption conditions are determined by the owner. We advise that adopters do not send payment or deposits for pets prior to adopting. ***** Rupert, a handsome orange tabby, is 8 years old and weighs 15lbs. He's neutered and microchipped, but he's not up to date on his vaccines; he is, however, feline leukemia and feline HIV negative, and Rupert's guardian has vet records to substantiate same. SCRATCH/LUNGE/ATTACK INCIDENT: Unsure of the date, Rupert scratched his human sibling and lunged/attacked his canine sibling in his home. The scratch broke the skin, but animal control wasn't involved. "Our child ran up to Rupert who hissed and scratched the child's arm. Our dog became upset and run to Rupert and they lunged at each other. We broke it up before any serious injuries occurred. Rupert and the dog still lunge at each other whenever the child is near." Rupert's guardian provided some medical history: " Rupert did have a history of seizures when he was young which went away after a round of antibiotics. No other significant medical history. " Rupert's guardian, after very much thought, has reluctantly decided to make the heartbreaking decision to rehome him. The reason for surrender is: " Rupert is an eight year old orange and white tabby we rescued from a hoarding situation in 2014. His date of birth is November 14th 2013. He is very loving and affectionate and loves to sit on your lap so you can scratch his head. He has the cutest pink nose and squish bean paws. He'll give head bumps and sleep on your chest if you're lying down. He will sit down and purr next to you for attention. We adore him but we have a small rambunctious special needs child in the household which has been stressing Rupert out for a couple years now, and causing him to hiss and swat at the child. Our dog feels protective of the child and now both Rupert and the dog have become aggressive toward each other. Before the child was born they tolerated each other so we don't believe he has a problem with all dogs but he would definitely do better in a home without small children. We've struggled with this decision for a long time but have decided that Rupert would be happier in a loving, child-free home. " Rupert's guardian states the following about children, dogs, and cats: Rupert lives with children ages 11 and 4 and a dog; based upon the above situation, his guardian recommends against Rupert living with young children or dogs. Rupert did live with cats so he will be able to live with cats in his new home. Rupert's guardian described his new ideal home: " Rupert's ideal home would be child-free, with someone to dote on him and pet and brush him constantly. He would probably be fine being the only cat but would also tolerate others.
