Description

MEET MONTY!Monty is a handsome longhaired flame point boy who was living outside in a cat colony; we call cats like Monty Community Cats. He is shy in new situations but has been showing us social behaviors. The key to making cats like Monty comfortable in your home is patience. Community Cats usually follow the Rule of 3: it can take these cats 3 days to decompress, 3 weeks to start settling in, and 3 months to feel at home and show their personality. Here are a few things you can expect from your Community Cat: *Hiding: for the best transition, we highly recommend confining your new cat to a crate in an active part of the home where they can learn about their new surroundings but still feel secure. A small space such as a guest room or extra bathroom are also good safe places. *Transition: After living outside, being in a home can be scary to a Community Cat, so remember to be patient.*Hands-on work: Most cats love food and using stinky wet food and Churu treats is a great way for you to bond with your new cat. Using a back scratcher to pet your cat while you're giving them tasty food will help them to associate petting with good things.Monty is currently up to date on all vaccinations, has been spayed, microchipped and seen by our vet team.For more information on this or any other animal currently residing at the Animal Rescue League of Boston please visit us during our adoption center hours: Wednesdays-Sundays from 1:00PM – 6:00PM, Tuesdays by appointment only from 1:00PM – 6:00PM, closed Mondays & Holidays.
