Giavonni - In Foster

My story

Breed: Domestic Long Hair Age: 2 years old Gender: Spayed Female Cats: Yes Dogs: No Children: 10+ Litter Box Trained: No, see explanation below Declawed: No Adoption Fee: $25 Hi, I’m Giavanni, but you can call me Gio! I’ve come a long way since I first arrived at the ARP as a semi-feral mama in 2023. Back then, I was pretty shy and unsure, but I’ve learned so much about trusting humans. I’m not really a lap cat, I like to come to you on my own terms. But once I decide you’re my person, I absolutely love pets and a good brushing session. I’m very chatty and will happily meow your ear off! Playing isn’t my favorite thing just yet, but I can’t resist a string on a stick when I’m in the mood. I’m still working on some litter box issues regarding defecating, and I might need a little outdoor space (like an enclosed catio, I am strictly an indoor only cat!!!) for my business if that’s an option. I’d really like to find a home with another cat who can show me that everything is okay, it helped me so much in my foster home! I know I’ll need patience and time, but I promise I have so much love and sweetness to share once I feel safe. Let’s take this journey together! I've been at the ARP since 2/22/25 (most recently) and I'm currently at the shelter. The Animal Rescue Project is committed to the best possible veterinary care for the pets it rescues and it is looking for adopters who will be similarly committed. Adoptions are NOT first come, first served! We seek to choose the best fit for the approved adopter and pet. Please understand that these animals are still new to us and their needs and requirements can change at any time as we learn more about them. We will try our best to get them updated online as soon as possible. All cats and kittens are given a general check-up when they enter our program. They receive medical to remove any intestinal parasites (worms), fleas, and mites they may have. All cats and kittens are feline leukemia tested, and cats at least a year old are also tested for feline immuno virus. Each cat or kitten receives the FVRCP vaccine; if a kittens stay with us is long enough, two or three boosters will be given after the initial vaccination. Most cats and older kittens are spayed or neutered before adoption. In the case of kittens not old enough to be safely sterilized, a $50 deposit is required at the time of adoption and is refunded to the adopter with proof of sterilization. The Animal Rescue Project requires every adopter to establish an active relationship with a veterinarian no later than 10 days after adoption. Adopters will receive a plan for routine veterinary care at the time of adoption and are expected to work with their vet to complete the plan.

If you have any questions or would like to adopt Giavonni - In Foster, please reach out to the adoption group directly. PetSmart Charities does not facilitate the adoption process. Thank you.
