My story

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

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.

Gaston est arrivé au Réseau Secours Animal en mai 2023 après avoir été trouvé errant à Mirabel. Il a pris beaucoup de temps avant de nous accorder sa confiance, mais maintenant il s'est découvert une nouvelle passion pour les câlins! Il était craintif et méfiant dans ses premiers temps avec nous. Après quelques mois, il a commencé à se montrer curieux, mais refusait d'être caressé. C'est donc tout récemment que Gaston, suite au travail de notre équipe de socialisation, a appris à aimer les câlins. Il en raffole même! Il ronronne très facilement et puis nous redemande de l'affection. C'est vraiment devenu un bon chat. C'est certain qu'il aura besoin d'une famille attentive à ses besoins et qui est patiente avec lui puisque son adoption entraînera certainement un recul en termes de sociabilisation. Nous sommes toutefois confiants qu'il appréciera de trouver le confort d'une maison. Gaston aime beaucoup ses compagnons félins, donc l'idéal serait qu'il trouve une maison où il aura des copains poilus pour lui donner confiance et lui tenir compagnie! Il ne serait pas un bon match pour une maison avec de jeunes enfants. Gaston a de sérieuses allergies alimentaires, donc il doit conserver une diète stricte hypoallergène qui provient du vétérinaire. Gaston est un chat adulte donc les frais d'adoption pour lui sont de 290$. Il est stérilisé, vacciné, micropucé et négatif pour le virus de l'immunodéficience féline (VIF) ainsi que la leucose féline (FeLV). Des assurances santé de 6 semaines viennent avec son adoption. Vous pourrez avoir recours à l'aide de l'équipe des adoptions aussi longtemps que nécessaire. Vous avez aussi droit à une consultation vidéo gratuite de 30 minutes dans le premier mois suivant l'adoption avec notre consultante en comportement félin FelineGood (https://www.felinegood.ca).           

 

Afin d'avoir une chance de l'adopter, veuillez remplir notre formulaire d'adoption directement sur notre site web: https://www.reseausecoursanimal.org/nous-contacter/formulaire-adoption/

 

 

Gaston arrived at the Animal Rescue Network in May 2023 after being found as a stray in Mirabel. It took him a long time to put his trust in us, but now he's discovered a new passion for cuddling! He was shy and wary in his early days with us. After a few months, he became curious, but refused to be stroked. It was only recently that Gaston, thanks to the work of our socialization team, learned to love cuddles. He's even crazy about them! He purrs very easily and then asks us for more affection. He's really become a good cat. It's certain that he'll need a family who's attentive to his needs and patient with him, as his adoption will certainly mean a step backwards in terms of socialization. We're confident, however, that he'll enjoy the comforts of home. Gaston loves his feline companions, so ideally he'll find a home where he'll have furry pals to give him confidence and keep him company! He wouldn't be a good match for a home with young children. Gaston has serious food allergies, so he must keep to a strict hypoallergenic diet that comes from the vet. Gaston is an adult cat therefore the adoption fees for him are $290. He is sterilized, vaccinated, microchipped and negative for feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV) and feline leukemia (FeLV). You will also be provided with health insurances for the first 6 weeks following adoption. You will also have access to the support of the adoption team for as long as you need it. You will also have access to a free 30 minutes video consultation within the first month following adoption with our cat behaviour consultant FelineGood (https://www.felinegood.ca).

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

All new adoption homes are carefully screened to determine if they are suitable. There is an adoption fee that includes the sterilization, initial vaccination of every animal, testing for FIV and FeLV of all cats at the shelter, and a 21 days trial period. A contract is always signed between the ARN and the adopter for their protection. A follow-up by an ARN adoption coordinator is often done either by telephone or by visit, and we also offer help/cousel for the life of the cat.

Go meet their pets

We hold weekly adoption clinics at pet supply stores throughout the Montreal area, and the South Shore to find permanent homes for our cats and dogs.
We'd love to meet you at our next adoption clinic!
