Adopt-A-Pet of Fargo-Moorhead MATCHING RESCUED PETS WITH LOVING HOMES

Long Term Foster Care
We would like to tell you about the "behind the scenes" animals that you may not know you are helping when you donate to Adopt-A-Pet. We want to tell you their stories. Adopt-A-Pet has a NO KILL policy. We do not euthanize animals because they have not been adopted within a certain time, because they have behavioral or medical issues, or because of age. We only euthanize when we truly believe that the pet's quality of life is being compromised. Below are some of our long-term foster animals. For these dogs, cats and rabbits adoption is not an option, so we care for these furry friends in their foster homes for the rest of their natural lives. Your donations help support not only the animals for whom we are able to find forever homes, but also these loving animals. They can also incur long term medical expenses along with the day-to-day costs of food and supplies. Please note, these animals are not up for adoption. Adoptable animals are listed on the dog, cat and rabbit pages of this web site.
Pet	Description
	Cita is a female, long-hair black cat. She is approximately 7-8 years old by our guesstimate. Cita has been with our family for approximately 5 years and another foster home before that. She has been in her foster home for so long now, that leaving would prove stressful. She does have some habits that would most likely not be accepted in a permanent home. More Cita pictures:  1
	Update: Mischief recently passed away at the age of 18 from complications of diabetes. He was a very special, much loved cat who will be greatly missed. Mischief is a male, short haired tuxedo.  He is approximately 15-18 years old by our best guesstimate.  He has been in his foster home since about 1998 or 1999, where he shared the home with 5 other cats that came from the same owner, who had passed away.  He had a very difficult time adjusting at that time.  Due to his age and the fact that he suffers extreme stress when leaving his home, putting him in a new home would be detrimental to him. Mischief and Cita have been together for a long time in their foster home and their relationship with each other is very strong.  They sleep together, groom each other, and are complete companions.
