Description:
Due to technical issues with some adoption sites, please email us directly at [email protected] to inquire about adopting or to ask questions. Please include the animal's name in the email. 7/2/2024 SPECIAL NEEDS Dan is our resident Lion at the Pet Adoption Center. He is a 2 year old, long haired, orange tabby. His eyes will melt your heart and purrs when being petted or combed. Dan enjoys hunting and chasing wand toys to show off his acrobatic skills. He loves attention and will climb on your lap to get it. Plus, he is a curious kitty and likes to explore new areas. However, Dan can get overstimulated from other cats and become dominate with them. Also, when he has had enough play time or randomly, he is known to nip at others when he gets too excited. Dan has started Fluoxetine/Prozac medication, 5mg once a day, in late May and has been doing much better. This medication is used to treat anxiety & bullying in cats that leads to nipping behavior. We also use feather toys to redirect this behavior. He would do better at a home with less stimulation and a quiet setting with no other cats. Dan would need someone who can take the needed extra time and understanding to continue working with him and administer the daily medication. Please give this handsome boy a chance to see if he is meant to be your furever companion. **All Shelter to Home animals are fully vetted per their age. We believe in pediatric spay and neuter. All animals will be spayed or neutered, tested for FIV/FeLV or heartworm, given age-appropriate boosters and rabies, dewormed, flea treated, and anything extra that is needed to give this animal a wonderful forever life in a permanent home. Adoption fees are usually $50 for cats and between $150-$250 for dogs, unless the pet is sponsored or we are running a promotion. Please visit our website at sheltertohome.com for information on our adoption process.**
