Good afternoon everyone,
Please take a moment to read this important message if you are considering adopting a cat or kitten from us.
🐾As a charity, the welfare of every cat and kitten in our care is our absolute priority. We always strongly advise that you wait until all necessary veterinary treatments have been completed before taking your new cat or kitten home. This is for their health, safety and wellbeing.
We understand that some people have experience of caring for cats from farms or other environments and may feel confident taking a kitten home before its treatments are complete. However, experience and good intentions do not remove the importance of completing the recommended veterinary care.
❤️Please understand that, from now on, we will no longer allow cats or kittens to be adopted or taken home until all required treatments have been completed. This decision has been made in the best interests of the animals, and we kindly ask everyone to respect it.
🐾 Once you have adopted your cat or kitten and taken them home, their ongoing care becomes your responsibility. We do everything we can to give each animal the best possible start, but that responsibility must continue with their new owner.
🐾If you need to take your cat or kitten to the vet for a follow up appointment or vaccination, please remember to check and make use of the insurance included in our adoption package, where applicable. Please also check what your policy covers and any terms or excesses that may apply.
❤️ We also urgently need your understanding regarding veterinary consultation fees.
🐾Please do not refuse to pay a vet's consultation fee and expect our charity to cover it. We completely appreciate that unexpected costs can be difficult, and we would never want anyone to feel judged if they are struggling financially. However, these costs cannot automatically be passed back to the charity.
🐾Every penny we receive is needed to care for the cats and kittens who depend on us. If we have to cover additional veterinary bills personally or from already limited charitable funds, it takes money and resources away from other animals who desperately need our help.
🐾Please think carefully about the ongoing financial responsibilities of owning a cat or kitten before adopting. Adoption is a wonderful and rewarding commitment, but it also comes with a duty to provide appropriate veterinary care and meet the costs involved.
We are not sharing this message to upset, criticise or single anyone out. We are asking for your understanding, compassion and cooperation so that we can continue doing what we do best: rescuing, caring for and finding loving homes for these precious animals.
🐾Please help us protect the cats and kittens in our care by respecting our adoption policy and the responsibilities that come with giving an animal a home.
Thank you sincerely for your continued support, kindness and understanding- Judy🐾
