Changes to opening hours

Changes to opening hours
Sometimes a little reflection leads to some 'aha' moments! Our adoptions on Sundays *on paper* seem great, but that leaves those working at the shelter scratching their heads, as its their quietest day. Then we realised that those great numbers are coming from the off site adoption days, such as at kitten high teas, expos…

Last Month's Stats: April 2020  Total Adoptions: 171 Total Incoming: 69 Total Cats and Kittens in Care at Month End: 128 Including 38 in foster care and 22 permanent fosters

Covid 19 Update - Adopt But Stay

During the Covid-19 pandemic most vets are not able to offer routine procedures, and therefore we need to wait until our own vet unit is up and running - we have one local vet offering to assist with small numbers in the meantime. As a result, to continue to meet the needs of both our felines and the people that are seeking to love them, we have introduced the "Adopt but Stay" program. This program is where you adopt the feline that you love, but we care for them until they are Desexed, after which you may return to collect (this could be as quickly as a day, but could take up to 10 days depending on vet availability)

We appreciate your understanding and patience, and our cats can't wait to meet you!
