About Mae
Mae requires secure fencing for her safety and mental peace. This ensures she is not overwhelmed, while also allowing her the much needed freedom to explore within safe bounds. You can see her confidence grow with each passing day once she feels secure in her territory.
Although it may take some time for her to trust and bond, the wait is more than worth it. She mirrors the love she receives and reciprocates in ways that will melt your heart. If you think you could provide Mae with the patient and quiet home she needs, she is waiting to fill your days with immense love and happiness.
Despite her timid and nervous nature, Mae has the capacity for extraordinary loyalty and affection. She is looking for a patient, loving and quiet home where she will be given the time to adjust and become comfortable at her own pace. Once she has warmed up, expect bursts of joy and a bond that only grows deeper with time.

Adoption details
We are not open to walk ins, appointments by booking only. All households members must be present before we can adopt an animal out.
As our goal is to adopt animals out from the shelter into loving homes as fast as possible, multiple bookings may be made for the same animal. We are not able to hold any animals for any reason. As such, there is a possibility that the animal you may have found a forever home before your appointment. If this is the case we will inform you by phone call as soon as possible.
