About π¦ Phoenix 5086 π¦
Meet Phoenix, a charming male cat with a heart full of potential. Although he can be a little shy at first, Phoenix has a kind and gentle nature that blossoms beautifully with time and patience. There's something immensely rewarding about watching a quieter personality emerge from its shell, and Phoenix promises that wonderful experience.
His love for other cats is evident in his interactions, as he often comes out of his shell to play, groom, or simply snuggle with them. If you already have a cat at home looking for a companion, Phoenix could be the perfect addition.
What makes Phoenix unique is his love for food. Yes, this dapper gent is very food-motivated! Whether it's crunchy kibble or soft tuna, treats can be a great way to earn his trust and build a bond. You'll find immense joy in seeing his curious nose pop out when he hears you enter with a feline-friendly meal!
Phoenix's journey so far has made him reserved initially, but underneath that timid veneer, he's just a sweet, loving, and loyal pal waiting to find the right human companion. The moment he makes the first leap to sit on your lap or purr sweetly by your side is a heartwarming milestone you won't forget.
So, if you're patient and gentle, and looking for a soulful friend to enrich your life, Phoenix would love to be a part of your family story. He's ready to embark on a new adventure with people who will cherish him for the lovable gem that he is.

Adoption details
1. Cats are impounded at the Pound/Shelter
2. During the first stage the friendly staff interact with the cats, clean their pens and assess them. They fill out daily observation charts. Feliway spray is used in the pens to help calm the cats, settle and prevent stress. Music is also used in their room. All our cats are fed a high quality diet and provided alternative foods for special requirements.
3. The shelter team will exhaust every available avenue in attempts to locate animal owners, including but not limited to:
o scanning for microchips and posting on the lost page of the Shireβs website.
o letters are sent to identified owners
o rangers attend properties where owners cannot be contacted.
o we network with the Lost Dogs Home, RSPCA and other council organisations to search their records for identified animals.
4. Identified potential owners are offered opportunities to view our impounded cats to confirm whether their pet is with us.
5. If the cat is not reunited after the eight day period and able to be rehomed, the cat will then go to the vet to be de-sexed, vaccinated, microchipped and FIV tested.
6. The cat will wait out their vaccination days in our quarantine room. Toys, blankets and music are used in conjunction with Feliway to help ease any stress felt. Our cats are always kept inside and to get used to being inside. Our caring and dedicated staff work hard to help this process by:
o providing daily exercise, playtime, quality healthy food and most importantly plenty of cuddles.
o our shelter team will spend a lot of time daily with the cats to help them learn how to trust and love people.
7. During this time, the shelter team assess each cat and get to know their personalities and needs. Then their adoption profiles are written up and advertised to the public.
8. All applicants go through a screening process to ensure our cats go to the right forever home. This will ensure people are not impulse buying a cat and it wonβt end up returned.
9. All new adoptive owners are given educative material regarding responsible pet ownership and containment requirements.
10. On average, the Community Animal Shelter Team spend around 28 days preparing our cats for their new forever home.
