Adoption Process

Thank you for submitting an Expression of Interest (EOI) form for this rescue pet! The pet’s Case Manager and Foster Carer will review your EOI and then respond to you as soon as possible. If it sounds like you and the foster pet are a good match, we will arrange a no-obligation meet and greet for you. At this meeting you get the opportunity to spend some time with the animal, then we ask you to take some time to think about it afterwards and let the Case Manager know your feelings the next day. If you want to go ahead with an adoption, and FFAR think that you would make a good match, we offer a four-week trial, and the services of our behaviourist at no cost to you during that time, should you have any issues. If the adoption doesn't work out for any reason, we will take your rescue pet back for a full refund within those four weeks; we will also take your adopted animal back at any point during their lifetime lifetime should you become unable to care for them. A bit like a no-risk guarantee! We want each adoption to go swimmingly for both the adopter and animal and never want these special four-leggeds to be homeless again.

Elf

Breed: Dsh
Age: 8 years old
Colour: White And Tabby
Gender: Female
Fee: $50

Like her namesake this little fae is a cheeky one! a sweetly mischievous little sprite who while shy of the human world, certainly yearns for it's love. Little elf had a rough start to life- we rescued her off the street, sick and pregnant (hardly more than a baby herself) Unfortunately she lost her litter but as sad as that was, it's allowed her to recover and have a 2nd kitten-hood of her own. She is a very shy creature- But I am so proud of how far she's come! so scared and hissy when she first arrived in care that she had to be crated and I had little hope for her to be honest. She yearns for love and pats and cuddles- considering she was a cat you could get no where near at first this is a remarkable thing. Her instincts still war with her desires though; she wants pats and attention but at the same time she can't help but initially shy away from your touch She will adore an adult people only home where she has friendly cat buddies to play with (she's currently living with two male cats ) as she is shy this is a must that she has cat company. Be prepared that it will take her time to re-just to a new home however I truly believe that in the right place she will simply flourish and come along even more than she has with me, merely patience and love is needed. She is well worth it- her gentle spirit is a delight to have around, and she will bring much magic into your life. Please don't hesitate to give me a call about her to arrange a time to meet her. She's currently being fostered in Belgrave.
