In the shelter’s words
Messi (1 year old) Messi is a handsome buff tabby cat with gold eyes, and he is equal parts leisure and action. When he is asleep or lounging, he looks like a work of art with his calm and beautiful presence. But he is also active enough to need an engaged human to take time with him. Messi has lots of energy and would benefit from play therapy, especially if his adopter could get out the interactive toys for fun sessions twice a day. Messi is keen on treats and would enjoy other boredom busters like food puzzles, too. For nap time, Messi likes to be up high, and he'd love to have cat trees where he can bask, tiger-like, on the upper perches. Messi would thrive in an adult-only home that lets him be as active as he wants to be but also brings out his gentler, affectionate, and relaxed dimensions. Messi is currently on a medication, but there's potential to wean him off it in a calm home situation. OK with Dogs : Unknown OK with Cats : Unknown OK with Kids : No

http://catscradleshelter.org/CCS/how-to-adopt/ An interview with the executive director is done prior to adoption. Not everyone is approved to adopt. Those that are approved have the cat for a 3 week trial period, where they can return cat and get a refund. Beyond that, we always want our cats back if the adoptive household can no longer care for it, but after 3 weeks, the adoption fee is not refunded. An adoption contract is completed prior to final adoption. Adoption fees are $118 including tax.
