About this Cat
Gino is located in Staunton, VA and looking for a new crib. Please ready his story below. If you can help Gino find his spot, please reach out to us at 5404681575 or [email protected] We'll get you in touch with his owner From Gino's mom: In early 2019, we trapped what we thought was a tiny, pregnant, female kitten. ‘She’ was a stray that had been hanging around our home. As it runs out, ‘she’ was a ‘he’. Because he was so young, we decided to keep him after he was neutered at the SPCA. We named him Gino. Since that time, Gino has been an indoor only cat. He continuously talks to another stray black cat that we feed----we wonder if they are related??. Despite our care and attention, Gino has never lost his stray, feral-like behavior. While he has made a lot of progress, he remains aloof and is a hands-off cat. He is easily frightened and, overall, is quite skittish. We are allowed to occasionally pet him. However, he sleeps on my niece’s beds with her and the small dog(s) but always at a distance from others on the bed, including my niece. He has lived with other cats and small dogs (<20 lbs.). He is litter box trained and, except during periods of stress, will use the litter box. These periods of stress will lead to acting out behavior---e.g. not using the litter box. While we have done all that we can to eliminate as much stress as possible, we have had to accept that our home may not be the best place for Gino to thrive. We want him to feel safe and be stress free. Gino is neutered and up to date on vaccinations and preventatives.

Adopt Courtesy post-Gino and Receive Courtesy post-Gino'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, Courtesy post-Gino's new family will receive the funds that their pet has raised.
$0.0 is Courtesy post-Gino's current balance
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the contribution. If you adopted the Courtesy post-Gino, thank you for providing a home and a loving family!
Please begin the process of claiming Courtesy post-Gino'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 Courtesy post-Gino was not returned. After we have verified the adoption, Courtesy post-Gino’s balance will be sent to the adopting family. Our staff provides instructions and help throughout this process.
We want the Courtesy post-Gino’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, Courtesy post-Gino’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!
