About π§ββοΈ Gandalf 5052 π§ββοΈ
Meet Gandalf, a confident and intrepid explorer who is always ready for his next adventure. Gandalf doesn't just walk into a room, he strides in, radiating positivity and a sense of curiosity about his surroundings.
Gandalf is gifted with a medium-length coat that is as magical as his name. Its luxuriant softness is the stuff of legends, and his grooming sessions become a treat that he thoroughly enjoys.
Gandalf's desire to explore parallels his wizard namesake's journeys. With each corner turned, there is something new for him to discoverβsomething that will spark that light in his eyes. His adventures range from the tops of bookshelves to the nooks beneath the sofa, always ensuring there's never a dull moment.
But Gandalf isn't all about adventures. He is also a calm presence, content to sit by the window and watch the world go by or curl up on a favourite blanket for a catnap. His intelligent eyes observe everything with interest, yet he exudes a peacefulness that is soothing.
Gandalf is sure to bring a delightful air of mystery and charm to his new family. If you're ready for a magical companion who will take you on a journey of discovery, Gandalf could be the one for you.
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 Shireβs 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 wonβt 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.
