BABY's guardian passed and Baby is super shy. She is also incredibly sweet :-) We are looking for a quiet household and someone who will gently engage with Baby, support her, and help her build her confidence. We know she a beautiful flower about to blossom once she feels safe and permanent. She would love to be your one and only kitty where you will adorn her with love and compliments. She will enjoy engaging with you once she's settled.
Babay is 7 yrs old. Her adoption fee includes her spay, vaccines, testing and microchip.
We have specific ADOPTION and COVID rules listed below.
Revised adoption policyDue to Covid -19 pandemic and social distancing requirements, we've revised our adoption policy.
First, please email (desertpawsnm@gmail.com) to inquire before you fill out the online application to see if the pet is still available. (Please do not call or text). We'll send you a link to the application.
We are unable to do multi-dog/cat meetgreets or adoption events at this time or bring multiple animals to your house to choose from, so please only inquire if you're serious about adopting this particular animal. If you're just shopping around with several shelters and rescues, please let us know this.
If your application is approved (which "could" take up to one week) then we will contact you to set up a Zoom chat or ph call to answer questions/clarify anything and set up a day/time to bring the pet to you.
Since we can't come into the home due to Covid-19, we ask that you send us pics /video of your home/living area/current pets.
At the meeting/adoption at your house (outside) please wear a mask (as will we), keep to a properly distanced social distance and have hand sanitizer. You will bring the cat in the carrier into your home (preferably you'll have a guest bedroom set up for your new kitty) and get aquainted/let the cat settle into their new surroundings. Once everything seems good you can bring the carrier outside and we can chat, sign paperwork, answer any additional questions etc.
We adopt locally to Central Abq, Santa Fe, Los Alamos and Rio Rancho. No out of area adoptions inquiries please. No young children for our adoptions please.
The animals are fostered and our foster families like to know their fosters are happy, healthy, and cared for during their lifetime. We appreciate staying in touch periodically (just a pic, holiday card, social media, pics/videos etc will make our work worthwhile :-))
Our volunteers and adoption board are working diligently with an overload of inquiries since Covid to match families and forever pets. Our workload on the reservations has also increased. We're very sorry, but if you email us with questions that are already answered here or fill out an application that does not fit the parameters of our procedures we will not be able to reply to you. Thank you for your understanding on this!
Thank you - we look forward to hearing from you and having another furbaby united with a furever family!
