My story

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

Meet Tetra, a spirited feline with a zest for life. Once a feral cat, she’s gradually learned the joys of domesticity, though she still retains a bit of her wild heart. Tetra loves to play, and you`ll often find her tapping at the bars for attention when she`s in the mood for some fun. She has made great strides in learning to trust, though it can take a little while for her to warm up to new people. Her trust is hard-earned but once she feels comfortable, it’s a gift she offers with great care.

Personality:

Affection Level: Tetra is learning to accept affection, but it’s still a work in progress. She’s starting to enjoy attention, though she may need time before she fully relaxes.
Energy Level: High energy; loves to play and interact, especially when it comes to her favorite toys.
Likes: Lickable treats (a surefire way to win her over!), playtime, and the company of people she trusts.
Dislikes: Tetra can be wary of new people and situations, and may need time to adjust. She’s not quite ready to fully enjoy being held or cuddled just yet.
Perfect Home: Tetra would do best in a home with a patient, understanding adopter who is willing to give her time and space to build trust. She may not be the most affectionate at first, but she’s on her way to becoming a loyal companion.
Behavior with Kids: Tetra would likely do best in a home without young children, as she still needs time to feel completely comfortable. Older children who are gentle and patient may be okay, but any interactions should be calm and respectful.
Behavior with Other Pets: Tetra is still adjusting to her social environment, so she may need a slow and proper introduction to other pets, she seems to like the company of other cats.
Ideal Home:
Tetra would do best in a quiet, patient home with someone who understands that building trust takes time. She would thrive in a household that is calm and willing to let her approach things on her own terms. Once she’s comfortable, Tetra’s playful and resilient nature will shine through, making her a rewarding companion.

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

We require potential adopters to fill out an pre-adoption application. If that application is approved, the dog/cat must be spayed/neutered before it leaves our shelter (if not already done). If it is a puppy under 4 months old, we allow it to go home with the adopters under a foster care agreement until it is old enough to be returned for spay/neuter. Kittens are allowed to leave before spay/neuter is done, but they must be done within a certain time frame.
Fees: Dogs/puppies range from $150-300, depending on if they came in already spayed/neutered or if we paid to have that done.
Cats range from $80 - $140, though we often have deals on older cats or cats that have been there a long time.
Kittens are $60 with $25 refunded once it has been spayed/neutered.
All adoptions include at least the first vaccination, deworming, de-fleaing, microchip ID, and 6 weeks of pet insurance.
