Charm Bracelet (kimmie), Domestic Shorthair For Adoption In Baltimore, Maryland

Price:

$75

Location:

Baltimore, MD

Description:

Kimmie is a cat with oodles of personality. She's also a cat who needs that special, patient person willing to help her work through the consequences of a rough history struggling with attachment issues and some poor treatment. Kimmie loves to watch "cat TV" from her cat tree/window seat, play with toys, and snuggle up in her blankets. She appreciates human company once she has warmed up to someone, but she is very cautious about letting herself be vulnerable, so her adopter can expect to spend time "proving" that they are safe before Kimmie really shows her affectionate side. She is quick with a swat or a nip and a little hiss when overstimulated or frightened, so she's the kind of girl who needs an adult experienced at reading cat body language and able to give her the time, space, and gentle company she needs to feel secure. Children would overstimulate her, and other pets trigger her territorialism.Kimmie is also quite the particular and persnickety senior lady, a real feline grande dame, so her human should be prepared for her personal rules such as the one that says wet food shall be put out first and only then may the dry food be placed next to it so that she can savor the one while anticipating the other in the correct order. Her foster human also recommends dedicating one room to Kimmie for her very own while building a solid relationship with her. This serves two purposes: first, it lets her claim a safe space for herself to build up her confidence and second, it makes it much easier for her adopter to find her for a little socialization or crate her if she needs to go to the vet.All this may sound intimidating, but Kimmie is also a sweet and funny older girl who will adore just the right adopter. Give her what she needs, and she'll reward you with love...and probably also a few royal commands.If you are interested in meeting Kimmie please complete a foster adoption application or email catfosters@barcsorg to inquire Adoption processBARCS takes in new animals in need of a loving home every day. The pictures above only represent a portion of the animals that are available for adoption at any given time. Some animals get adopted immediately and their photos never make it onto our website—which is wonderful! If you don’t see what you are looking for, please visit our shelter to meet your perfect match today! Adoption fees are $75; however, we offer several adoption packages listed here. Our adoption hours are Monday-Friday from 2-6 p.m. and Saturday-Sunday from 11 a.m.-4 p.m.Shelter locationStep 1: Check out the adoptable cats, dogs and small companion animals listed on our website. Animals with a blue “I’m in Foster” banner are not currently in our shelter. Check www.barcs.org for our adoption process for animals in foster homes. Step 2: Visit our shelter during adoption hours (Monday-Friday 2-6 p.m. and Saturday-Sunday 11 a.m.-4 p.m.). When you arrive, you will first be asked to fill out our Shelter Adoption Application with your information. You may also pre-fill our Shelter Adoption Application ahead of time online to save time when you are at the shelter. Your application will be processed after you meet the animal. Step 3: Tour our adoption rooms and write down the names of animals that you would like to meet. A volunteer or staff member will help you meet your chosen animals to make a match! Step 4: When you have selected the right animal for you, our Adoptions Team will run your Adoption Application for approval. Once your application is approved, you will participate in an adoption class where you will learn all of the details about your new adopted family member, including their known history and medical records. What else to expect: Animals who are already spayed/neutered and past their stray hold (if applicable) can often go home with you the same day. Pick-up arrangements for unaltered animals and/or animals still on a stray hold will be made during your adoption class.
