My story

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

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

Sorbet a été apporté au Réseau Secours Animal en juillet 2023 après avoir été trouvé errant dans le quartier de Villeray à Montréal. Il était tellement maigre que la personne qui l'a trouvé pensait qu'il était chaton. En fait, Sorbet est loin d'être un chaton, il aurait approximativement 11 ans maintenant! Sorbet était très stressé à son arrivée au refuge et hyperventilait. Avec le temps, il nous a montré sa belle personnalité et nous avons vite compris qu'il s'agissait d'un chat très attachant. Malheureusement, Sorbet est porteur du virus de l'immunodéficience féline (VIF). Pour plus d'information sur le VIF:  https://www.veterinairesaucanada.net/ressources-associees/virus-de-l-immunodeficience-feline-fiv/ Son VIF ne l'empêche pas de vivre une belle vie! Par contre, Sorbet a été diagnostiqué avec de l'hyperthyroïdie et de l'hypertension. Il reçoit donc de la médication tous les jours pour ces deux conditions. Les frais de ces médicaments sont d'environ 200$ par mois. C'est pourquoi nous l'avons mis sur le programme de parrainage du refuge. Sorbet n'a pas une très grande espérance de vie, mais il pourrait encore vivre quelques années auprès d'une famille aimante. Il aura besoin de suivis au vétérinaire tous les 3-4 mois pour suivre ses problèmes de santé. Sorbet est un chat très attachant qui se laisse prendre dans les bras et aime les câlins. Il est un peu nerveux par moment, mais s'adapte vite à de nouvelles situations. Il pourrait vivre avec des enfants. Il cohabite avec d'autres chats sans problème dans sa pièce. Il est très gourmand, donc il n'est pas trop difficile de trouver des tours pour lui faire manger ses médicaments. Qui aura envie de donner une bonne fin de vie paisible à Sorbet ? L'adoption de Sorbet est une adoption humanitaire, donc les frais d'adoption sont de 0$. Il est stérilisé, vacciné et micropucé. Il a testé positif pour le virus de l'immunodéficience féline (VIF), mais il est négatif pour 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 ).

Sorbet was brought to the Animal Rescue Network in July 2023 after being found as a stray in Montreal's Villeray district. He was so skinny that the person who found him thought he was a kitten. In fact, Sorbet is far from being a kitten; he would be approximately 11 years old now! Sorbet was very stressed when he arrived at the shelter and hyperventilated. With time, he showed us his beautiful personality and we quickly realized that he was a very endearing cat. Unfortunately, Sorbet is a carrier of the feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV). For more information on FIV: https://www.vet.cornell.edu/departments-centers-and-institutes/cornell-feline-health-center/health-information/feline-health-topics/feline-immunodeficiency-virus-fiv His FIV doesn't prevent him from living a good life! On the other hand, Sorbet has been diagnosed with hyperthyroidism and hypertension. He receives daily medication for these two conditions. The cost of these medications is around $200 a month. That's why we put him on the shelter's sponsorship program. Sorbet doesn't have a very long life expectancy, but he could live a few more years with a loving family. He will need follow-up visits to the vet every 3-4 months to monitor his health problems. Sorbet is a very affectionate cat who likes to be held and cuddled. He's a little nervous at times, but adapts quickly to new situations. He could live with children. He cohabits with other cats in his room without any problems. He's very greedy, so it's not too difficult to find tricks to get him to eat his medicine. Who would like to give Sorbet a good, peaceful end of life? The adoption of Sorbet is humanitarian, therefore the adoption fees for him are $0. He is sterilized, vaccinated and microchipped. He tested positive for feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV) but he is negative for 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 thr 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.
