About Shadow
Shadow is an adult male cat who may have been dumped by his previous owner due to some health concerns.
He is a smoochy and affectionate cat who just loves being inside and with his people.
He has diabetes and requires insulin twice per day – easily administered with a pen.
He also has some issues with arthritis that he is currently receiving treatment for.
At the moment, he is living in foster care but this is not a sustainable option – as he is frightened of the resident dogs and the resident adult cats will not accept him – so he is restricted to one room.
He would make an ideal companion for someone who is okay with giving him his injections and who can take him for regular monitoring visits to the vet.
We are comfortable about continuing to financially support his medical treatment – he just needs a home where he can comfortably settle. He’s a beautiful looking fella and has a lot of love to give.
If you've got a lap in need of a cat - please get in touch!
Medical notes
Shadow has stabilized diabetes and requires an insulin injection twice per day. He has just had a dental and is on a dental supportive diet. He also has some liquid that is put into his water and is on Meloxicam for advanced spondylosis in his spine that is equivalent to having fused discs.
Adoption details
If you are interested in one of our dogs, please send us an email at: hopespringseternaldogrescue@gmail.com in the first instance telling us who you are interested in, and why. We will then send you an adoption application to complete.
At a minimum, we will expect that all of our dogs will be inside/outside dogs and will be treated as a valued member of the family.
If your family needs match the needs of the dog, we will call you to discuss further and arrange a time for you to meet the puppy you are interested in.
If this goes well and you are keen to proceed, we will organise a mutually convenient time with you to undertake a fence/home check - and for the dog you are interested in to meet the rest of the family - both human and other animals.
If you feel that you would like to add the dog to your family, we will ask you to pay the adoption fee and the dog will commence a 4 week trial period - for all of you (both humans and pets) to make sure that you will all be happy living together. We will check in on you during this time and will be available to respond to any concerns you may have during this period.
If everyone is happy at the conclusion of the trial, we will transfer the microchip and provide you with any medical records and information we have on the dog you have adopted.
We will take the dog back into care at any time - if things do not work out - and we appreciate that sometimes - they just don't - for a number of reasons.
We will ask for a happy snap of the dog with their new family members for our adoption gallery and will ask whether we can use that in promoting our rescue on Facebook, the Internet or other promotional materials.
We want the process of adoption to be a happy and exciting time for you and your potential new family member and will work with you to make the experience as positive as possible.
