My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Dean came to us as a semi feral kitty. He is doing good with our volunteers and is super gentle but needs a home that will give him time to adjust and let him be. He will learn to trust over time. He loves his brother Sammy and they would do best in a home together. He likes to play with the other kitties in our office and does well with children that are calm. When Dean came to us we kept watching him and his breathing concerned us. We thought he had a heart condition. The vet did x-ray's and thought he may have had an enlarged heart but an Echocardiogram confirmed his heart was fine however the x-ray revealed a broken hip. Dean was getting around just fine and was not showing obvious pain other than he had deep breathing. He recently had FHO surgery, basically the equivalent of a kitty hip replacement. He has recovered well and is now ready for his furever home. Adoptions are limited to an approximately 150-mile radius from Locust Grove, GA, certain circumstances may allow exceptions. To apply to adopt this pet, please fill out a Preliminary Adoption Application at https://form.jotform.com/232355976148163 This application does not commit you to an adoption. It is used to screen those interested to make sure the home is a good match for the pet and your family. We verify vet history on current/previous pets to ensure pets have been spayed/neutered and vaccinated annually. Please call your vet to give permission for us to call them. Our adoption fee is $100 for all our cats. They have been given age-appropriate vaccinations, are spayed/neutered, have been feline leukemia/ feline aids tested, dewormed, have received flea prevention, and are micro-chipped. We will ensure the microchip is registered. If more information is needed regarding the pet email info@streetpaws.org. You must complete the pre-application to obtain approval to meet the pet.
