In the shelter’s words
Granger — A Shy Little Sweetheart Worth Getting to Know! Some kitties are ready to run right up and introduce themselves. Others prefer to take their time, check things out, and make sure everything is okay before deciding you're their new best friend.Granger is definitely the second kind of kitty! This sweet little girl is on the shy side and needs a bit of time to adjust to new people and surroundings. But once she starts feeling comfortable, you'll discover a loving girl who enjoys pets, attention, and all the wonderful things that come with being a cat. About Granger Sweet and loving Shy and cautious at first Loves being petted Enjoys playing and doing all the usual kitty things Should do well with other cats Best suited for a home with older, respectful children Needs a little patience while she settles inGranger may not be the first kitty to come running when someone new walks into the room, but that doesn't mean she doesn't want affection.She just likes to get to know you first!Once she feels safe, Granger enjoys being petted and spending time with her people. She also loves doing all those fun kitty things—playing, exploring, and finding ways to entertain herself. One thing Granger isn't particularly fond of? Being picked up.She much prefers to keep her paws on the ground and enjoy affection on her own terms. And really, who can blame her? Not every cat wants to be carried around like a baby! Granger's Perfect HomeGranger is looking for a family who understands that a little patience can go a long way with a shy kitty. A patient, understanding family who will give her time to adjust Older, respectful children who understand her boundaries She should do fine with other cats with a proper introduction She hasn't been around dogs, so we don't know how she would feel about them A home where she can enjoy affection without being picked up or carried aroundGranger doesn't need someone to rush her or expect her to be outgoing from the moment she arrives.She needs someone who will let her explore at her own pace, give her pets when she's ready, and understand that building trust is part of the journey. And when that shy little girl starts feeling comfortable enough to show you her sweet, playful personality, you'll know you've earned something pretty special. Granger may take a little time to give you her trust, but she's absolutely worth the wait.

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
