About Ferdinand, Sam & Baby
These 3 beauties have been adopted and returned TWICE through no fault of their own at all!
The boys came into care as newborns, when a farm worker took them in and didn’t have the heart to send them to market. They were the first calves of many who came from this farm worker who now reaches out anytime a calf needs rescue!
All 3 boys are friendly and love a cuddle, kiss and snack!
They are ready to make the next journey to their forever home and are all up to date with all routine treatments.
Please note that adults cows can consume up to 25kg of dry matter a day! They will need plenty of space to get the food they need and hay in the winter to keep warm. Keep this in mind when applying to adopt and don’t hesitate to ask questions!
Medical notes
No known pre-existing conditions.
Adoption details
Regardless of the breed of animal you are looking to adopt, our adoption process is the same.
The first step of the process involves submitting an adoption application form. The form helps us understand a little bit more about you and your household and is used to figure out whether animal is the right fit for your household and what you are looking for, and also if your household is the right fit for the animal.
After a review process, shortlisted applicants will be contacted by one of our volunteer adoption coordinators usually by phone call or message. This is an informal conversation to discuss any questions we may have about the application and re-confirm any information provided. It is usually at at this point that we will organise a Meet & Greet with you and the animal.
It is a Strong Heart’s adoption policy to arrange a Meet & Greet with the prospective family and the animal before finalising the adoption. The Meet & Greet will allow the opportunity to visit the animal and have a pat and a play with them. The foster carer will tell you a bit about the animal's personality and what they have been like for the time they’ve been in their care. It is a great opportunity to ask the carer about the animals food, sleeping and any other health requirements.
If the Meet & Greet goes well on the day, in most cases you will be able to take the animal home straight away after payment of the adoption fee. All necessary paperwork including vet work history and transfer of ownership information will be sent via email within a few days unless otherwise specified.
