My story

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

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

Mona Lisa est arrivée au Réseau Secours Animal en mars 2023 après avoir été sauvée de la rue à Laval. Elle a eu plusieurs portées dehors dont la dernière où elle avait eu une fausse couche. La belle Mona Lisa était fatiguée de sa vie dans l'errance. Elle a passé plusieurs mois chez la personne qui l'a sauvée de la rue afin d'y être socialisée avant d'arriver à notre refuge. Après ce temps, elle est arrivée chez nous pour poursuivre sa socialisation dans l'optique de trouver une famille éventuellement. Mona Lisa a pris beaucoup de temps avant de s'ouvrir à nous. En effet, au début, elle était dans une salle avec d'autres chats et était figée par la peur. Nous l'avons donc mise seule dans un petit condo et c'est là qu'elle a commencé à retrouver confiance en elle et en nous. Elle a maintenant la visite de son voisin de condo, Koko, et elle l'apprécie beaucoup. Elle pourrait donc cohabiter avec un autre chat s'il est doux, calme et ne cherche pas le contact constamment. Sinon, elle sera une bonne chatte unique. Elle veut qu'on l'approche doucement, qu'on s'assoit près d'elle. Elle se laisse alors caresser sans soucis et pousse son petit museau contre notre main pour qu'on n'arrête pas. Elle ronronne même! C'est vraiment une chatte d'une extrême douceur. Elle n'aime pas être manipulée et demandera beaucoup de patience pour son adaptation dans une maison, mais nous sommes confiantes qu'avec du travail et du temps, elle s'épanouira pour devenir une bonne petite chatte parfaite. Elle ne pourra pas habiter avec des enfants ni un chien. Elle a besoin de tranquilité et de compréhension. Mona Lisa est un chat adulte, donc les frais d'adoption pour elle sont de 290$. Elle est stérilisée, vaccinée, micropucée et négative 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 pendant le premier mois suivant l'adoption avec notre consultante en comportement félin FelineGood ( https://www.felinegood.ca ).

Mona Lisa arrived at the Animal Rescue Network in March 2023 after being rescued from the streets of Laval. She had several litters outside, the last of which was a miscarriage. Beautiful Mona Lisa was tired of her life on the streets. She spent several months at the home of the person who rescued her from the streets, where she was socialized before arriving at our shelter. After this time, she came to us to continue her socialization in order to eventually finding a family. Mona Lisa took a long time to open up to us. At first, she was in a room with other cats and was frozen in fear. We put her in a small condo by herself, and that's when she began to trust herself and us again. She is now visited by her condo neighbor, Koko, and likes him very much. She could therefore cohabit with another cat if he's gentle, calm and doesn't constantly seek contact. Otherwise, she'll be a good single cat. She wants to be approached gently, to sit close to you. She's happy to be stroked and pushes her little muzzle against our hand so we don't stop. She even purrs! She really is an extremely gentle cat. She doesn't like to be handled and will need a lot of patience to adapt to a home, but we're confident that with hard work and time, she'll blossom into a perfect little kitty. She won't be able to live with children or a dog. She needs peace and understanding. Mona Lisa is an adult cat, therefore the adoption fees for her are $290. She 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 during the first month following the 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.
