Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Meet Sisson, a sweet, lovable, affectionate guy who ranks high in the snuggling department. He enjoys pets on most of his body, but his belly and sides are off limits. This boy has pep in his step and loves to play, especially with bell ball toys. He can play on the rough side, so it's better to shower him with wand toys and such rather than rough housing him. He may do best in a home with adults and older children who respect his boundaries. Sisson lived with cats and did well with them. The dog was another matter and he'd prefer to be in a dog-free zone. Sometimes the chemistry just isn't there. He has been an indoor kitty, but we suspect he may want to be out and about sometimes.
When Sisson looks into the mirror, he sees Mufasa and would tell you, "I have the spirit of a lion in my heart and it makes me want to roam and hunt. Do you appreciate a hunter? I need more adventure and activity than an indoor cat will get. If I am not allowed outdoors then I will get into trouble. This means I will play with things I am not supposed to and I may even start "hunting the people that live there. I need more territory and things to do than an indoor only life will give me. If you want to add a feisty feline with a lot of personality, spunk and adventure to your life, then I'm the one for you!"
Looking for a lion-hearted snuggler? Sisson fits the bill!
If you're ready to adopt now and want to learn more about, meet, or adopt this pet, you can start the process in one of two ways:
Come on in during open adoption hours Tuesday - Saturday 12:30-3:00! For in-shelter pets (not in foster care) coming in ASAP is the fastest way to adopt.
**the below two methods are slower than visiting us**
Call us (413-781-4000 x 1) or email us (springfield@dakinhumane.org) for more information about a pet. We are often on the line with another client, but we return voice mail and emails within 24 hours.
All cat adoption fees include;
-spay/neuter
-rabies vaccine
-current distemper vaccines (may need additional boosters with your veterinarian)
-FeLV/FIV blood test
-microchip implanted & registered to the adopter
-treatment of fleas/ticks/ear mites
-veterinary exam and health certificate at Dakin
-free vet exam within 30 days after adoption with participating veterinarians
Most pets have also received other medical care while with us. Your veterinarian may recommend additional health care for your new pet.
