About Gummi Bear
Meet Gummi Bear!
Introducing Gummi Bear, the epitome of feline companionship. He is one friendly feline who loves being the centre of attention. Imbued with radiating warmth and love, this chill fluffy cat is waiting to win over hearts with his endearing charms.
An affectionate lapcat, Gummi Bear cherishes spending time with his favourite humans, so whether you're at the desk working or in the living room watching TV, expect him to be there, too. He's devoted in his pursuit of human companionship and loves being close to you, his purrs a melodious soundtrack to your day.
Gummi Bear is a noted foodie, a pleasurable quirk that makes meal times an adventure. When he isn't chowing down on his favorite meal or asking for a treat, he can be found lounging around. His laid-back nature gives rise to an endearing laziness - think long, comfortable naps on the couch, and a preference for indoors.
Beyond his relaxed demeanor, Gummi Bear is highly communicative and isn't afraid to engage in 'small talk.' His playful chatter will make your house feel more like a home. He prefers a life of luxurious solitude as the only cat and will thrive in an environment where he can be the undisputed king of his domain.
To summarize, if you're looking for an affectionate, playful, and talkative cat who loves a good cuddle and some lazy time around the house, then Gummi Bear might just be the furry friend you've been waiting for. This sweet boy has so much love to give and is ready to shower his new family with endless cuddles.
Medical notes
Gummy Bear Grade 3 out of 4 dental disease, and recently had dental surgery performed to correct. He will benefit from ongoing dental home care, such as a dental care diet and regular brushing of teeth.
Gummy Bear also has a minor heart murmur that was detected at dental procedure. The murmur currently does not require treatment however should be continually monitored by his adoptive family and regular vet once adopted.
Gummy Bear is also Feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV) positive.
Due to a nationwide shortage of Feline F3 vaccines, Gummy Bear has only received one of these crucial immunisations before adoption and is now overdue for their booster. This vaccine guards against Feline Panleukopenia, Feline Herpesvirus, and Feline Calicivirus.
For details and further information you will be provided with a vaccination waiver.
Feel free to discuss with our Adoption Coordinator during the adoption process.
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.
