About Vinnie

Vinnie is a very special cat who has been in and out of the shelter since he was a kitten. Vinnie was brought to ACL at just 8 weeks of age when a resident found him in a dumpster next to her home. He was quickly adopted, but found himself back at the shelter when his family moved and did not take him along. In his first home, Vinnie was declawed on all four paws. Since then, Vinnie has struggled to find his place. He has been in and out of foster and adoptive homes, never finding the right fit. Since Vinnie has been back in our program since 2015, we have lots of information on what he needs to be the best cat he can be! ACL knows that Vinnie has the potential to find a loving and home where he will make a great companion for the right person. Vinnie is quite a handsome guy, so we do receive lots of inquiries for him. Since we have lots of information on Vinnie, we will be taking some extra special care in his adoption process (which will be different from our regular adoption process). Please note that we are looking for an adopter that has the time to work through Vinnie's challenges, and who will go the extra mile to ensure that their relationship gets off on the right foot! Vinnie may enjoy the company of another pet, depending on their personality. He will require an adult household. Interested adopters should fill out the questionnaire here: https://goo.gl/forms/tmd361vNxXHRKUsW2 Please give a staff member 24-36 hours to contact you after you submit your response. Please note that Vinnie's adoption process will be a bit lengthier than our regular process.
