About Poppy
NOTE THAT I AM AVAILABLE AS A FOSTER-TO-ADOPT DUE TO SOME ONGOING MEDICAL NEEDS. SEE DETAILS BELOW.
Hi, I'm Poppy! I was actually born at the Bow Valley SPCA many years ago, and now I'm unfortunately back in their care. I developed urinary stones, which my previous owners were sadly unable to continue to care for. But that's okay, I'm optimistic that with my sweet and playful purrsonality, I'll be able to find a new great home that will be able to continue to care for my medical needs! Right now, I am available as a foster-to-adopt, as I am on a 3-month diet trial to see if my stones can be dissolved with a specialized veterinary urinary diet. During the foster period, all my expenses will be paid for. After 3 months (mid February) I will need to go back to the vet for an ultrasound. If the stones have dissolved, then I am in the clear, provided I stay on a urinary diet lifelong! If the stones have not dissolved, at that time I would need surgery, which would be covered by the BVSPCA. I hope that I might be able to head to a great home soon, where I can catch up on cuddles! I'm very fond of wand toys, and have soft, bunny-like fur that makes me a pleasure to snuggle. Can't wait to meet some great folks and head to a loving home!
Dog-friendly: Untested, likely okay with slow introductions
Cat-friendly: Yes
Kid-friendly: Untested, likely yes
Do I Need Special Care?: Yes, I have a history of urinary stones, so I will need to stay on a urinary diet lifelong to prevent recurrences.
Interested?! Please fill out our adoption application and submit to adopt@bowvalleyspca.org. Upon approval you will be contacted to arrange an appointment time! You are also welcome to come visit me at the Centre during public visiting hours Wednesday-Saturday 12:00-4:00pm without an appointment.
