McKinley

The one in a million, McKinley! Sex: Male Breed: Domestic Short Hair Color Grey Tiger and White Estimated DOB: 4/1/22 We got McKinley because he showed up on one of the vet clinic clients back door. She has 2 elderly cats and could not help. He has many types of parasites, an upper respiratory infection, underweight and flea infested. So he had a rough start with us and still has a few URI flare ups. Our doctor thinks he needs a quiet home where he can just get healthy and work on a better immune system. He loves head and butt scratches but can still be a little shy when you’re moving fast. He loves to sit in the sun and take his nap. He loves all food, wet and dry. We know that with slow introductions with other cats he does well. We dont know how he would do with other dogs but we speculate that he would need calm dogs that would leave him alone. We dont know how he would do with young children but he has done well with older children with good boundaries. He has had all age appropriate vaccinations, dewormed with a general dewormer a few times, spayed or neutered, microchipped, flea/tick/heartworm prevention monthly and tested negative for FeLV virus. We do recommend rechecking a fecal with in 48 hours after you take any cat home, Covered by us, if she is positive for any parasites we will get you the dewormer recommended by your vet at no cost. Adoption Fee- $100.00 - We take check, card and cash. You will get a copy of the Microchip form when you go home, we will register that for you. However we would like if in the first week you would check the account to make sure we did not make any errors. After that it will be your responsibility to keep its information up to date and accurate. It is lifelong enrollment you will never have to pay towards that again. The microchip sits in between the shoulder blades right under the skin. Your email will be the username, so you have to have one. Once you log on to PetLink.net you can change that password to whatever you would like. You will get a copy of your adoption contract, signed by you and a Pawsitive Causes board member. This contract will go over that our cats have been seen by a veterinarian and have gotten vet care, their hearts have been listened to but we can not guarantee the health of any animal. You will get a hand-out about Upper Respiratory Infection in cats, many animals in rescue and shelters have been previously exposed to these ailments. Even if they are not showing any signs of upper respiratory, the change or stress of going home can bring things like that on. That’s why we send home the hand out, everyone gets it. We will go over a checklist to make sure we did not miss anything. You will get a copy of that as well. I have asked the fosters to bring some food for you to take home to transition on to what you want them to eat. We have always offered wet and dry food. He is using the litter boxes great. However, we recommend starting him out in a room with a litter box and open more and more of the house at a time. Do not move the litter box a lot! This also helps with introductions to other animals as well. You should always do slow introductions under a door with a few days of no sight. Once all the animals are calm and used to the new noises and smells you can start offering treats at the door to both animals. Then open the door and start letting them slowly mingle. You will also receive a paper copy or email copy of all the medical records we have. We would love it if you continued your vet care with us at Pawsitive Care but we understand if you have a vet you love. We will try to make this as easy as possible.
