About Coco

Adoption fee $25 during March 2018. Coco's fee will revert to standard $85 on April 1. Shelter resident since August 2017 (7 months in residence). Coco is a petite beauty. Sparkling green eyes and the feather soft tortieshell coloring with a ringed tail and touch of a Cheshire cat smile. She is a calm and serene kitty who enjoys a peaceful environment. As often happens she came in with 2 kittens both of which were adopted leaving her behind to wait. Though heads turn her way upon entering the Cat Room, her serenity and beauty have failed to leave an impression. She is social with the other cats but just as content to lap sit or find a quiet spot for kitty contemplation. Coco is 2 years old. She is spayed, fully vaccinated and tested negative for FIV/FeLV. To submit an application which initiates the approval process, go to the website link: https://www.charlessmithgallhumanesociety.org/page/cat-adoption-application/ or submit at the shelter while visiting with Coco. The online form may generate a 'Fatal Error' message after submission which is to be ignored. It is a system glitch. Feel free to send an email to check on receipt of the online form. In order to adopt any of our cats/kittens, applicants must intend to keep kitty indoors at all times. Applicants must have the resources to provide the basics of food, shelter, annual vet exam/vaccines/testing as well as non-routine medical care necessary to keep their family member healthy throughout it's lifetime which is generally to age 16. Applicants who have or recently had domestic pets will be asked to provide the contact info for their vet so that a reference check can be obtained regarding the care provided to those pets. If renting, we will talk with the landlord/property manager to ensure the cat is permitted as an indoor pet. If the home of the applicant is within a reasonable travel distance, our adoptions team will schedule a brief home visit and if the home is not local, will request photos/videos to do a virtual home visit. The approval process can be delayed when unable to reach the necessary references and or complete the physical or virtual home visit. Our kitties do not leave our shelter until the approval process is completed favorably. It is not possible to come to the shelter and expect to leave with a kitty if the approval process was not completed favorably in advance. If an applicant has adopted from us within 6 months and has no major concerning changes to their environment, it is possible to adopt on the spot without engaging in the process again. We seek homes that will regard our kitties as family members where they are safe and can live contented and healthy lives. We do not ship nor transport our residents. Charles Smithgall Humane Society (CSHS) is a No kill shelter which provides quality care, spay/neuter-all vaccines, deworming, vet exam, standard disease testing and for dogs-monthly heart worm prevention treatment. Animals in our care remain safe with us until adopted. Resident animals are primarily owner relinquished and also accepted from local Animal Control. The facility usually is operating at capacity with a list of animals waiting for space to open. Adoption hours are Tues-Sat 10-4 and Sun 1-4.
