The staff at the OHS call me a Poet! Did you know that Poets thrive in calm, stable environments? When things are a little too new and different, these kitties have a hard time showing their true personalities. Because Poets find change so hard, they usually like lots of safe places to hide and high perches to rest on. While each Poet is a little different, things that usually bring them out of their shell include playing with their favourite toys, eating some of their favourite treats, and seeking attention from their favourite people. During periods of change, Poets need a safe refuge where they be surrounded by these favourite things.
Poets can have different preferences, and it might take a little while to figure them out. Some Poets prefer play interactions where they can stalk and hunt in a fun game with you, while others may enjoy curling in your lap for a cozy snooze. While you may not see a lot of them at first, they'll be thinking of you... and after they settle in, you'll think they've always belonged!
I often feel frightened by new people and situations. To help me adjust, I will need a safe space in the home to call my own. With time and patience, I will come out of my shell and show my wonderful personality.
FIV, or feline immunodeficiency virus, is a lentivirus or slow virus. With proper care, FIV-positive cats can live healthy lives for many years. Because the potential is high for cat fights when introducing new cats into a home with existing cats, FIV-positive cats or FIV-exposed cats will not be adopted into homes with FIV-negative cats to prevent infection of non-infected cats. Ideally, FIV-positive cats should not be housed with other FIV positive cats as an immune-suppressed cat can serve as an amplifier for infectious agents.
I am a "Foster-Me-First" adoption. You can find more information about the Foster-Me-First Program at https://ottawahumane.ca/adopt/adoption-faq/#answer14 or call to speak to the adoption team.
If you are interested in setting up an appointment to adopt me, please complete an adoption application at https://ottawahumane.ca/adopt/adoption-application/. Please be advised that although we do offer on-the-spot-adoptions, this is dependent on appointment schedules and cannot be guaranteed.
