About this Cat
This terrific, good natured cat was left behind by neighbors across the pond when they moved about a year ago. Whisky will use a litter box when he is in the house, but gets frustrated if kept in too long during the day. (Stays in back yard, close to house and rarely strays outside of our fence). He is a neutered male about 3 years old, weighing 13.5 lbs. He has a rabies certificate and other necessary shots and is healthy and free of disease according to one of our veterinarians. Whisky is an extremely loving and affectionate cat and we are very sorry to have to find another home for him.
We have kept him for a long time and are most anxious about giving him up because we love him and are afraid he might end up in another bad situation. The problem is that he absolutely must be the only cat in the household. We have three house cats who never go out and three cats who go in and out during the day and stay inside at night. He does not hurt them, but chases and intimidates all of them. Therefore, every time one of the inside/outside cats comes in during the day, I have to put Whisky into the dining room (where he also sleeps at night). He cries a lot when he is confined or is looking out of the windows in the daytime.
Additionally, there are a lot of stray and feral cats when you are living on a pond and we feed everything that comes to the door or cowers in the bushes. We keep five electrically heated cat houses and one heavily insulated small dog house on the property - only two are occupied right now. I clean the houses thoroughly every Spring and Fall, put flea and worm medicine in their individual meals periodically and provide medical care when needed. It’s a lot of work (especially the TNR) and also expensive.
We used to let Whisky outside sometimes (under supervision after he was responsible for almost causing several fights). I don’t think he would have hurt the others, but he is so big that he frightens them into fight mode. Unfortunately, he also chased every single stray or feral that came into the yard and we are their only source of food and support.
We have put picture ads in our Vets offices and made many inquiries on Whisky’s behalf with no success at all. He loves to play with toys and adores getting tummy rubs. He is so loving and affectionate that we are sure that he (originally) came from a very happy home. Surely there is someone out there who could provide a new and very happy permanent home for him.
Hopefully,

Adopt Whisky and Receive Whisky's Fund
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, Whisky's new family will receive the funds that their pet has raised.

How will Whisky receive the contribution?
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the contribution. If you adopted the Whisky, thank you for providing a home and a loving family! Please begin the process of claiming Whisky's contribution 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 contribution by submitting the necessary information.
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the contribution. 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 Whisky was not returned. After we have verified the adoption, Whisky’s balance will be sent to the adopting family. Our staff provides instructions and help throughout this process.
What happens to unclaimed funds?
We want the Whisky’s balance to go to the adopting family as a way to say thank you for providing a loving home and to help with pet care expenses. In the unfortunate event we cannot contact them and verify the adoption, Whisky’s balance will remain in our general 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. If you would like to make a direct contribution to nokillnetwork.org to help us help other pets in need, you can go here. We appreciate your generosity and help!
