About this Cat
Shelby is 2yo, weighs 8lbs, is spayed, is up to date on her vaccines, is microchipped and is presumably FIV positive ("Shelby tested FIV+ at the adopter's vet, but we suspect it may have been a false-positive, as she's completely asymptomatic. She should be retested at some point in the future"). Shelby does very badly in the car and dislikes/fears loud noises, sudden movements and being restrained. Shelby's foster provider explains why she has made the decision to rehome her: "We foster for HRA and received Shelby from them. We placed her in a home with another playful young cat but they were not able to successfully integrate after a number of months and Prozac trials, so Shelby was returned to us." Shelby's foster provider offers a brief medical history: "Shelby had kittens prior to foster. Possible FIV+ rapid-test - needs to be rechecked." Bite/scratch incident: Shelby bit/scratched foster provider, the skin was broken, animal control was not involved, and the incident otherwise was not reported. Foster provider explains "Shelby can be reactive when overstimulated and will wrestle during play. Behavior is self-limited and can be avoided by keeping petting sessions shorter and playing with toys rather than with hands." Shelby's foster provider states the following regarding children/dogs/cats: Shelby has lived with a cat, but not with dogs or children, so her foster provider doesn't recommend her living with them. Shelby's former adopter explains: "Shelby was unable to successfully integrate with our resident cat. She is likely best off as an only cat, but I could see her getting along with a cat with a similar temperament (one that is calm, not too playful or aggressive, and will let her approach first). 1. For example, our resident cat is very playful. There were a lot of times that Shelby mistook the resident cat’s playfulness for threatening behavior (again, something she picked up from being a stray). 2. When fed together, Shelby wasn’t shy about trying to eat from the resident cat’s food bowl. If she does live with another cat I strongly recommend getting two of everything to reduce competition. 3. When things escalated between Shelby and the resident cat, she would run away. I believe that she is ultimately conflict averse and would only fight back if cornered." Shelby's foster provider describes her as: Playful Friendly Shy Likes to be touched Affectionate Independent Nervous House-Trained Likes men Likes women Shelby's foster provider describes her ideal future home: "Shelby's ideal home would be stable, predictable and quiet (no party people). She is both sociable and very playful and would do better with multiple residents who could spend regular time with her (for example, working from home). She likes to watch wildlife outdoors and would do well with large windows/glass doors. She can be independent and has strong boundaries so a respectful owner who understands cat body language and can give space would be ideal (no young children), but she also loves to snuggle and sit nearby on the couch or under the table at dinner. Shelby did not do well with an aggressively playful second cat, but she has grown to tolerate our resident ferrets and might be able to adjust to a calm, respectful older cat that didn't want to invade her space. She would be fine as an only cat so long as people were around regularly and she had stimulation to keep her entertained." Rehoming Fee: None Location: Washington, DC

Adopt SHELBY (COURTESY POST) and Receive Dogecoin
Adopting a pet can be expensive, and we're trying to help by fundraising for each individual in need of adoption. After verifying the adoption, SHELBY (COURTESY POST)'s new family will receive the funds that their pet has raised. Dogecoin is digital currency that can be exchanged for cash, traded, or held as an investment (see the "What is Dogecoin" section below).
0.0 DOGE is SHELBY (COURTESY POST)'s current Dogecoin balance
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the Dogecoin. If you adopted the SHELBY (COURTESY POST), thank you for providing a home and a loving family!
Please begin the process of claiming SHELBY (COURTESY POST)'s Dogecoin here.
For adoptions in which nokillnetwork.org was the matchmaker and we have contact information for both parties, we make every effort to contact the adopting family. For adoptions that were not facilitated by nokillnetwork.org, we still encourage the adopting family to claim the Dogecoin by submitting the necessary information.
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the Dogecoin. The adopting family will be required to provide proof of adoption between 4-6 weeks after adoption. This is to ensure that the home is a good match and SHELBY (COURTESY POST) was not returned. After we have verified the adoption, SHELBY (COURTESY POST)’s Dogecoin balance will be sent to the adopting family. Our staff provides instructions and help throughout this process.

In the unfortunate event we cannot contact them and verify the adoption, SHELBY (COURTESY POST)’s balance will remain in our general Dogecoin fund. This fund may be used to match contributions made to other adoptable pets, incentify other adoption-related actions, promote our mission, or support the operating expenses of nokillnetwork.org.
