In the shelter’s words
Tate proves that being a senior doesn’t mean slowing down! At 13 years old, he’s still spunky, playful, and full of personality; though he certainly appreciates a good nap and some quiet downtime, too.Tate was originally adopted through Heartland in 2014. While we don’t know the full story of what happened in the years that followed, we do know that the owner who adopted him passed away at some point. After that, Tate’s story becomes a mystery until this past July, when a St. Louis County citizen found him wandering on his own. She took him in, had him scanned for a microchip, and that scan led him right back to Heartland.Today, Tate is living his best senior life with his foster mom and three feline foster siblings. He has been fully vetted, including a senior blood panel, is current on his vaccinations, and has received a clean bill of health.Tate quickly bonds with anyone who shows him love and comfort, and he’s proven to be quite the homebody. In fact, he wasted no time making himself comfortable, so comfortable that he even tried to steal one of the cats’ beds! Now that he’s in his golden years, Tate would be happiest in a calmer home with older children or no children. What he really wants is a soft place to land, someone to love, and a family who will give him the peaceful, happy retirement he deserves.After everything he’s been through, Tate is ready for the next chapter—and we think it should be his best one yet.

Plan a visit with the source organization
the first step in our process is an application. The questions on the application are designed to determine if the pet would be a good fit in this home. We contact the applicants veterinarian to verify they have a good history of previous (or current) pet care. We meet the applicant at Petsmart or at their home to allow them to interact with the pet they are interested in adopting. If all goes well the adoption is finalized. We have an adoption contract, requiring regular vet care, indoor homes, return to us if it doesnt work out, etc. Our dog adoption fee is $175, cats range from $80 for older cats to $125 for kittens
