My story

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

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

Nori est un chat errant d’environ 4 ans qui vivait dans une colonie à Saint-Hubert. Il avait perdu une partie de sa queue et se promenait ainsi depuis... environ 2 ans. Avant d'arrivé au Réseau Secours Animal en mai 2024, il avait été vu avec sa queue coupée saignant et avec une grave boiterie. C'est à ce moment que des gens ont décidé de l'attraper et lui trouver une refuge. Arrivé au refuge, son pelage est dans un état épouvantable sans compter aussi l’odeur nauséabonde qu’il dégageait à cause de l’infection. Nori était vraiment en piètre état et avait besoin d’aide de manière urgente. Nori était doux comme un agneau, s'est laissé manipulé sans problème et faisait même des ''biscuits''. À l’examen vétérinaire, il y avait quelques bonnes nouvelles, mais surtout des mauvaises nouvelles qui témoignent des souffrances que le pauvre Nori a dû endurer pendant son errance. Pour les bonnes nouvelles, son bilan sanguin était bon, il ne faisait pas d’anémie. Les mauvaises nouvelles : nous devions faire amputer une bonne partie de ce qui lui restait de sa queue, car elle était nécrosée. Pour sa boiterie, la tête de son fémur était en mille morceaux et devait être remplacé avec une prothèse à la hanche et de la réadaptation. 

Qu'a-t-il bien pu arriver à Nori? L'hypothèse du vétérinaire était que Nori a été frappé par une voiture et que sa queue a passé sous une roue. Ainsi, sa queue cassée a nécrosé et est tombée. La fracture de sa hanche montrait des signes de remodelage ce qui indiquait que l’accident est arrivé il y a un certain temps. Après ses chirurgies, Nori est parti en convalescence pour 3 mois et a fait de la physiothérapie pour retrouver une bonne mobilité de sa patte. Maintenant, il peut vivre une belle vie sans douleur. Les frais vétérinaires de Nori ont monté à 3000$. Malgré tout ce qu’il a vécu et la douleur qu’il a enduré, Nori est un chat adorable et très affectueux. Il aime jouer et surtout se prélasser dans un bon lit douillet. Il peut cohabiter avec un chat qui n'est pas trop envahissant et ne cherche pas trop le contact, mais il ferait surtout un bon chat unique. 

Nori est un chat adulte, donc les frais d'adoption pour elle 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 pendant le premier mois suivant l'adoption avec notre consultante en comportement félin FelineGood ( https://www.felinegood.ca ).

Nori is a 4-year-old stray cat who had been living in a colony in Saint-Hubert. He had lost part of his tail and had been walking around like this for... around 2 years. Before arriving at the Animal Rescue Network in May 2024, he had been seen with his tail cut off, bleeding and with a severe limp. That's when people decided to catch him and find him a shelter. When he arrived at the shelter, his coat was in an appalling state, not to mention the stench he gave off from the infection. Nori was in really bad shape and in urgent need of help. Nori was as gentle as a lamb, allowed himself to be handled without any problems and even made “biscuits”. At the vet's examination, there was some good news, but mostly bad news that testified to the suffering poor Nori must have endured during his wandering. The good news was that his blood work was fine, and he was not anaemic. The bad news: we had to amputate much of what was left of his tail, as it was necrotic. As for his limp, the head of his femur was in a million pieces and had to be replaced with a hip prosthesis and rehabilitation. 

What could have happened to Nori? The vet's hypothesis was that Nori was hit by a car and his tail went under a wheel. As a result, his broken tail necrotized and fell off. His hip fracture showed signs of remodelling, indicating that the accident had happened some time ago. After his surgeries, Nori went into convalescence for 3 months and underwent physiotherapy to regain good mobility in his leg. Now he can live a good, pain-free life. Nori's veterinary bills came to $3,000. Despite all he's been through and the pain he's endured, Nori is an adorable and very affectionate cat. He loves to play and lay around in a nice, soft bed. He can cohabit with a cat who isn't too invasive and doesn't seek contact too much, but he'd make a great single cat. 

Nori 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 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.
