About ⚓ Aspen 5065 ⚓
Introducing Aspen, the graceful observer. He is a shy male cat with an independent streak. His calming presence will make him a great addition to a peaceful household that values serenity.
Aspen is initially shy and may take some time to warm up to new faces and environments.
Aspen's independent nature adds to his charm. He values his alone time but also enjoys the company of his human friends. He's the kind of companion who enjoys quietly sitting by your side while you’re reading or working, making every moment of your time together serene and peaceful.
Aspen would be the perfect fit for a patient owner who will respect his boundaries but also offer him the perfect balance of attention and solitude. This handsome chap will appreciate a calm environment where he can roam freely and feel secure.
Adopting Aspen is an opportunity to share your life with a wonderfully unique feline, who will keep you entertained with his rich and enigmatic personality.
Adoption details
Two stories to show you what happens to our furbabies and how they become to be adopted.
1. Cats are impounded at the Pound/Shelter
2. During the first stage the friendly staff interact with the cats, clean their pens and assess them. They fill out daily observation charts. Feliway spray is used in the pens to help calm the cats, settle and prevent stress. Music is also used in their room. All our cats are fed a high quality diet and provided alternative foods for special requirements.
3. The shelter team will exhaust every available avenue in attempts to locate animal owners, including but not limited to:
o scanning for microchips and posting on the lost page of the Shire’s website.
o letters are sent to identified owners
o rangers attend properties where owners cannot be contacted.
o we network with the Lost Dogs Home, RSPCA and other council organisations to search their records for identified animals.
4. Identified potential owners are offered opportunities to view our impounded cats to confirm whether their pet is with us.
5. If the cat is not reunited after the eight day period and able to be rehomed, the cat will then go to the vet to be de-sexed, vaccinated, microchipped and FIV tested.
6. The cat will wait out their vaccination days in our quarantine room. Toys, blankets and music are used in conjunction with Feliway to help ease any stress felt. Our cats are always kept inside and to get used to being inside. Our caring and dedicated staff work hard to help this process by:
o providing daily exercise, playtime, quality healthy food and most importantly plenty of cuddles.
o our shelter team will spend a lot of time daily with the cats to help them learn how to trust and love people.
7. During this time, the shelter team assess each cat and get to know their personalities and needs. Then their adoption profiles are written up and advertised to the public.
8. All applicants go through a screening process to ensure our cats go to the right forever home. This will ensure people are not impulse buying a cat and it won’t end up returned.
9. All new adoptive owners are given educative material regarding responsible pet ownership and containment requirements.
10. On average, the Community Animal Shelter Team spend around 28 days preparing our cats for their new forever home.
