Portobello

Are you a cat whisperer? Are you calm, caring and patient? Do you have a big house with space to run? Do you want to hear loud purrs and tiny little mews? Then Portobello and Oyster are perfect for you! They were born in March of 2022. They are big, gentle babies, weighing in at just over 13 pounds, who are very cautious and startle easily, but come right back out when all is safe. They don't like to be picked up, but they will flop at your feet for chin scratches and rubs on their soft, plush coats. They play really well together and love to chase each other around. They catch fishing pole toys in mid air with the mightiest of jumps! They like to hang out in a bed or box nearby, if they aren't on bird duty, looking out a window. They also like to get brushed. They would probably do best in a house without other pets. It will take them a while to get use to you, but once they do, they will melt your heart and bring you much joy. OUR FOSTER-TO-ADOPT PROGRAM PROCESS: Not sure if a particular pet will be the perfect match? Our foster-to-adopt program is the way to go! The program is essentially a trial period so we can be sure your selection is a good fit for your home and family. This is especially helpful if you have other pets and children or just need more time to make a final decision. FOSTER-TO-ADOPT PROGRAM REQUIREMENTS The foster-to-adopt program requires a fully approved application. Applicants must be 21 years or older. All applicants must complete an application, undergo a residency and vet verification, plus a virtual interview/home visit prior to application approval. We also require a drivers' license, or other form of ID, for each adult in the household. CAT ADOPTION APPLICATION LINK We process adoptions through ShelterLuv. The first step is to complete an application: https://www.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/FMCA/Cat If you do not have a specific pet in mind, please list a general description of what you are looking for, i.e. adult female cat or pair of kittens or unknown, etc. under the section titled "Which animals are you interested in? This will allow us to quickly determine if we have what you are looking for readily available or in one of our foster homes still going through the vetting process. You will hear from us in the next few days. Please note, FMCA is an all-volunteer organization and most of our volunteers work full-time, so please be patient. After an applicant is fully approved and an appropriate pet is selected, we will coordinate pet transfer. We will stay in touch to monitor during the two-or three-week trial period. If it's a go, we will finalize the adoption electronically. During the trial period, we are always available to help with items such as getting pets settled in, pet introductions and ways to help shy pets acclimate. If things don't work out, the pet will return to FMCA. Please email us at [email protected] with any questions regarding the adoption process.
