Meet Your Match: Feline-ality

mym_logo_2009

You could be gazing at the animal of your dreams, but you just can’t tell what she’s thinking behind that furry face. What if you knew a little something about her personality and habits before you moved in together? The Meet Your Match™ program wouldn’t let you go home without knowing who’s in that carrier or on that leash. MYM is the only method in existence today that evaluates an animal’s behavior and interests and matches them to an adopter’s preferences so that you take home a pet you can really click with. Meet Your Match™ is a program of ASPCA. Read more about the Feline-alities!

This 92 pound, mature-aged but still puppy-minded dude stole the hearts of all of the CVHS staff and volunteers. After a month and a half of searching, he found his fur-ever home!
