Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Hi friends! I’m Hermie! I’m roughly 2-3 years old and I just graduated from the School of Hard Knocks. Here’s why I say that: I may or may not have chewed on an electrical wire when I was younger. I didn’t take myself to the ER like I should have. My mouth did heal, just not properly and I ended up with a hole in the roof of my mouth. I lived like that for a bit before being found by some people who put me in touch with this awesome rescue. Some of the food I ate would come out of my nose and eyes. Talk about a cool party trick! Being the brave guy I am, I went through 3 surgeries to fix it. I now have a silicone plate in my mouth covering the hole so less food comes out of my nose. My plate does require some maintenance from time to time. I still have some nasal discharge, but nothing a good face wipe can’t fix.
Overall, I’m very affectionate and love cuddling. OH! Did I mentioned I’m cross eyed?! Yes, I can see. I can also hear the sound of my food being made and will let you know if you’re doing it wrong. I eat ALL of my food although it can be a messy process. I like playing with other cats, but I also like my alone time. I also like dogs as long as they respect my personal space. If you are interested in giving me my perfect forever home, apply now!
Hermie is a special case and requires some extra medical care due to an injury to his mouth. PetPromise has done the hard work to have the mouth repaired BUT an adopter MUST COMMIT to keep Hermie with a specific vet in Hilliard Ohio for 2X year checks. The adoption contract will include information that the adopter will agree to keep Hermie at this vet in Hilliard, Ohio for 2X year care. Email cats@petpromise.org for more information.
Hermie's adoption fee is $80. Please complete an online adoption application at petpromise.org/adoption-application if you are interested in adopting Hermie.
We do our best to ensure that all of the PetPromise pets and their new owners are the perfect match, so the adoption process includes a mandatory home visit; for that reason, adoptions outside Franklin County, Ohio and contiguous counties may not be possible.
PETPROMISE DOES NOT HAVE A SHELTER. Our pets are housed in volunteer foster homes while awaiting adoption.
PETPROMISE HAS NO PAID STAFF. The people processing applications are volunteers with full-time jobs and families, so it may be several days before you receive a response to your application.
