Who's available?

Hi everyone I'm fostering a 1 1/2 - 2 1/2 year old calico female. I have some current pictures of her and I would like to put her story up so others can see her. My name is Amanda and I've been fostering her for FFFF for almost a year now. She's opened up a lot and is now letting everyone in the household pet her and love on her. Please e-mail Sharon if you're interested in adopting her.
Sometime in early October this beautiful cat (we call Pumpkin) appeared at the BP Station on the corner of Dale Mabry and Geraci Road - about 1/2 mile south of Lutz Lake Fern Road. There he found friendly people to feed him for several days and then headed south. He has been in a foster home on Cedar Lane since them. Flyers have been posted all over the area and a "FOUND" ad was placed in the Tampa Tribune. There have been 12 responses, but he hasn't exactly matched any lost orange cats. It has been six weeks and he needs a new home. Pumpkin is a large cat, possibly 4 or 5 years old, with long fur, a large fluffy tail, golden eyes and a sweet, loving disposition. He is people oriented and gets along with other cats. If you would like to adopt Pumpkin, please call Niki at 813-361-7951 or email Niki.

*What does "ready for adoption" mean?

An older kitten (4 months and up) or a grown cat has already been vet checked, dewormed, neutered/spayed, and received rabies and the 4 in 1 (distemper), as well as a fecal check and a negative Feline Aids and Feline Leukemia test (Felv/Fiv). We also apply Revolution. Many vets recommend a montly application to help prefent ear mites and flea infestations. (You can discuss flea control options with your vet) If we have had an older kitten in foster care for several months, then he/she will be due right away for a booster and rabies. It is the new owners responsibilty to update these shots.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

A kitten (younger than 4 months) that is ready for adoption has been vet checked, dewormed, spayed or neutered, received first set of shots (4 in 1 booster), fecal check and a negative Felv/Fiv test. Spayed kittens (females) can be adopted out with stitches and it is the new owners responsibility to bring them to a vet have them removed about 10 - 14 days after surgery. This is a simple procedure which you should not be charged for. We provide you with the surgery/vaccination dates, and due dates on the paperwork. It is also the new owners responsibility to get the next booster shots. Most vets like kittens to have three booster shots, about three or four weeks apart. Kittens are NOT given a rabies shots. Most vets like to wait until they are at least four months old, or 4 or 5 lbs.
