Richard Parker, Domestic Shorthair For Adoption In Toronto, Ontario

Location:

Toronto, ON

Description:

Richard Parker was rescued from the outdoors with a terrible case of ear mites and some teeth that needed removing. He's a quiet boy with an adorable chirpy meow but he gets the zoomies around bedtime and loves to play with feet that are under the covers! He's great with catching a wand toy as well. He's a tolerant cat and will allow himself to be picked up but is still making progress when it comes to having his claws trimmed and feet touched. He doesn't come to you to seek affection yet but he likes to be nearby and, when he's relaxed, he loves a belly rub. Chin scratches are also always welcome! He can look a bit stern at times but that's just his handsome face. Richard Parker would do well with another friendly cat and likely on his own as well. Dogs and children are unknown. He's quite food motivated and currently eats both wet and dry food.Richard Parker is negative for FIV and feline leukemia. In February 2024, Richard had dental surgery with multiple extractions. Like all ACR cats, he has been treated for fleas and parasites.To check out a video of Richard Parker with the zoomies, please follow this link: https://vimeo.com/937972627?share=copyAdoption process If you are thinking of adopting a cat or kitten, please contact us. Annex Cat Rescue has matched over 1000 cats and kittens with good adoptive homes since our group started! Annex Cat Rescue cats live in real homes with our foster volunteers -- not in cages! This way, the cats live in normal homes and receive good food and medical care -- and lots of personal attention. We get to know each cat, so we can help you find the best cat for you. It's kind of like a kitty match-making service! All of our cats are vaccinated, have been de-wormed, and are spayed or neutered once they reach six months of age. We are always available if you have questions or concerns as your new cat is adjusting to your home. Here is our adoption process: Please leave a voice mail or email. One of our Adoption Team volunteers will contact you to find out more about the kind of kitty you are looking for. We will suggest which of our cats might be the best match for you, and put you in touch with a few foster homes for you to contact. You can go and visit the cat in the foster home and see if you think it's a match. If you fall in love on the spot (so easy with kitties!) we ask you to go home and think about it overnight, since it's an important decision for you and for the kitty. Then, if it's a match, you can bring your cat carrier (and the adoption fee -- which is modest and does not cover all of our expenses) then take your kitty home! We ask all adopters to sign our adoption agreement, which just sets out some basics so we all understand our roles, with the kitty's best interests first and foremost! A day or two later, we'll call you to make sure all is well and provide any suggestions that might be helpful, if needed. The Annex Cat Rescue's motto is "Cat Adoption with a Difference." If the adoption does not work out (a rare occurrence, in part due to our excellent "match-making"!), whatever the reason, the cat will always be welcomed back to our organization. We want the best for our kitties! Please contact us today!Shelter locationThe Annex Cat Rescue is a grassroots community organization. We are 100% non-paid volunteer-run. Our organization attempts to make a real difference for the homeless, stray and abandoned cats in this city through direct intervention and education. Every day, many people turn to us for help when Toronto Animal Services cannot. ACR does *not* run an animal shelter. All of our cats/kittens live in volunteer foster homes across Toronto where they are allowed to blossom and grow in a "home" environment (rather than in cages), and where they receive individual attention and love. While this prevents possible behavioural problems associated with caging animals, this also allows us to get to know each animal intimately and thus we can make excellent matches with adopters. Potential adopters are required to make appointments to view the animals in their respective homes. Our organization is "no kill". This means that cats in our care remain in foster homes are not euthanized (except for dire humane reasons). City shelters do not have such a policy.
