Want to Adopt one of our cats?...

Our procedure for adoption is that we ask a few questions, usually over the phone, then someone will come out to do a home visit.

Types of questions we ask are :

Where do you live - is it near a busy road

Do you have any other cats / dogs / pets

Do you have children, what are their ages.

Have you had a cat in the past?

Is everyone out at work all day.

The home visit is to make sure that we match the right type of cat to the right type of home. We do not home 1 kitten on its own if everyone is out at work all day. The home visit is usually arranged quickly at a time suitable for yourself & the home visitor.

Provided everything is ok with the home visit, then we will let you know what suitable cats or kittens we have available and where they are (we have fosterers who foster in their own homes). You can then go to view the cat or kitten & adopt if they are suitable.

With regards to neutering, we neuter everything that is over 4 months of age, if it is younger than this then we will contact you when it is old enough & arrange the neutering. All cats/kittens will be vet checked, microchipped, wormed & defleaed, often they will be tested for FIV & FeLV. We are now, from 1st January 2008, vaccinating cats & kittens in our care. You will also receive 6 weeks free insurance.

We do not charge for adopting a cat or kitten from us, but as we have to do all our own fundraising, then we do ask that you consider giving a donation, a suggested amount is £45 per cat or kitten, however this is a donation and so it is up to yourself how much you give. This helps towards the huge vets bills that we get

Things to consider before deciding to adopt:

You could be committing to your new cat for up to 20 years. Can you offer continued stability?
Veterinary fees can be expensive. You should expect to visit the vets at least once a year for a health check and vaccination. Other preventative health care measures include de-fleaing (usually a monthly treatment) and de-worming (typically a three-monthly treatment); seek advice from your vet on frequency. Pet insurance will help with the cost of major illness and emergency treatment.
You will need to make arrangements for your cat when you go on holiday, this may involve boarding cattery fees.
Feeding a cat will cost you a minimum of £5 per week, plus the additional expense of other items such as a litter tray and litter, toys, bowls, bedding etc...
If you get a long-haired cat, you will need to set time aside for grooming.

If you would like to adopt then please give us a call on 01633 850476 or drop us an email to gwentsouthcp@btinternet.com with the above details and your phone number & we will give you a call.
