Hi friends! Lillie here! Buckle up because I have quite a lot to say about me! I am a female Tiger who is around 3 years old. I was a transfer in from another shelter and I came to stay at Stray Haven where the staff could work with me more before but I got adopted out then returned. Everyone who ever met me knew I had so much potential. First things first, I do NOT like to be picked up so please don't try it with me! I also do not like to be grabbed or moved so you should avoid that as well. I would do best in a home with people who understand me and weren't interested in trying to change me into something that I'm not. I love all sorts of toys and ones that make sounds at me, like ones with bird noises! I have also completely laid claim to my own cat tree and spend the majority of my time sleeping on it and observing everyone from up high. The staff knows as long as you go slow at first, I can be won over in just a few seconds. I absolutely love chin rubs and head scratches. I will even flop on my back and show you my belly! I will even tolerate some belly rubs and tail scratches. If you get me comfortable enough I even like playing games with you, such as gently nibbling on your fingers and pawing at you playfully. This isn't even to mention my naturally grumpy looking face, which the staff immediately fell in love with. I would do best in a home with some other feline companions and understanding adults who could let me break out of my shell little by little so that someday I might be comfortable enough to let you pick me up or sit on your lap. Please don't fault me though, I most likely never learned too many social skills as a kitten. I have so much personality and a feisty little attitude to go with it. The staff knows I'm mostly all talk and they tell me to get over myself. How can you not fall in love with a face like mine? Why don't you come on down to the shelter and see me for yourself! You won't be sorry once you've seen me in person! I'll be waiting for your arrival even though it may not seem like it at first!
Hello Everyone,
My name is Rebel and I am a 1-year-old Pitbull mix. My brother Boone, my sister Annabelle, and I came to Stray Haven from a neglect case, hoping to find a loving forever home. I am a very energetic young pup who needs lots of exercise, walks, or a big yard to run around. I am not food or toy-aggressive, so I think that is something to brag about! I can be a bit reserved when meeting new people, but I become more outgoing over time. Please stop in and meet me!
We cannot place an animal on hold, if we receive multiple applications on the same animal in a short time frame we choose the home we feel most closely matches the needs of the animal.
All of our cats are as unique as the people looking to adopt. The majority of our cats are housed in communal cat enclosures and are well socialized with people and other adult cats.
Cats and kittens will likely go home the day of adoption, for this reason, we suggest that you prepare your home in advance. Consider having a litter box, food, bedding, and a "safe space" prior to coming to the shelter day on the adoption day. If you have any questions about how to prepare for your new pet please call, our staff is happy to help!
I just adopted a kitten/cat, help!
Each animal is different and adjusts differently however there are some general guidelines. We can tell you our experiences with your pet, but we ALWAYS RECOMMEND that if you have any health concerns contact your primary care veterinarian. We do NOT have a veterinarian on site, nor do we have 24/7 staffing. Please, make sure you're keeping in contact with your primary care veterinarian.
1. Remember the rule of 3. Cats are VERY sensitive it takes about 3 days for cats to adjust to new smells, sounds, tastes, textures, and surroundings. It takes about 3 weeks for cats to adjust to new people and animals. They need to realize their new family is not in competition with them for resources, or a danger to their safety. It takes about 3 months for cats to feel like they fully and truly belong. However, there are cats that can take longer to adjust into the home.
2. If you're concerned about a behavior; document, document, document. What time of day did it start? Is it reoccurring? What was the animal/family doing in the 30 minutes prior? Has anything else changed in the last 3 days (remember that rule of 3 for cats to adjust!); i.e. food brand, storms, temperatures, guests, etc.? Keep in mind a veterinarian will usually start with the same questions to establish a baseline, so until you're able to get to a veterinarian consider making notes for yourself to streamline your visit;
a.) Is the animal eating/drinking regularly, or has there been noticeable changes/inconsistencies?
b.) Is the animal urinating/defacating regularly, has there been a change in amount/color/consistency of urine or feces?
c.) Has the animal's routine or environment changed in the last three days?
d.) Has the animal's energy level significantly changed recently?
e.) Has the animal begun to avoid previously appreciated activies; i.e. they used to jump on the counter and have stopped, they used to enjoy scratched behind the ear, but now pull away?
3. We feed our kittens/cats purina kitten/cat chow. If your animal ate something differently, the staff will have told you during the adoption process; other foods are only provided in the event of health/weight loss concerns. Kittens are fed a quarter can of Friskies pate once a day. Adults receive treats and wet food for enrichment or medication. We use hardwood pellets (available anywhere heating pellets are sold) as our litter, if your animal required a specialty litter for allergy reasons you will have been told during the adoption process.
We cannot place an animal on hold, if we recieve multiple applications on the same animal in a short time frame we choose the home we feel most closely matches the needs of the animal.
Our dogs are primarily housed in our kennel building. We do not allow the public in our kennels to reduce the stress levels of our dogs. We have multiple location options for meet and greets at our facility indoor and outdoors. A staff member will bring the dog of your choosing to meet you as quickly as they are available to do so. **Please remember our staff is expected to leash train and extensively walk each dog each day, so there may be a waiting period before the staff member and dog are available. We recommend scheduling a meet and greet ahead of time.
If you have another dog we WILL REQUIRE that the dogs meet on our site prior to your application being approved. You will need to provide proof of rabies prior to the dogs' meeting.
We suggest that you prepare your home in advance. Consider having a crate, or other quiet space to allow for decompression, food, bedding, and a considerable span of time to observe and support the dog's transition. If you have any questions about how to prepare for your new pet please call, our staff is happy to help!
If this is your first dog, or your first time with a new breed, please research the breed and consider signing up for training/support classes as you and your new companion learn to communicate and set boundaries with one another.
