About Anchor
Ahoy, fellow cat lovers! Allow us to introduce you to the remarkable Anchor, a big senior boy. Don't let his age fool you; this alert and charming fellow is ready to drop anchor and become the companion you've been searching for.
Anchor is in search of an indoor-only home where he can find solace and security in his golden years. A loving and peaceful environment is what he dreams of, as he sets sail on a new adventure with his forever family.
Despite his age, Anchor is as alert and attentive as ever. His years of experience have made him wise beyond measure, and his presence exudes a sense of calm and reassurance. He may be a senior, but his spirit is as vibrant as ever.
Anchor's journey began as a worried stray in need of a helping hand. Thanks to the caring people at the shelter, he received the TLC he deserved, including a much-needed groom. Now, with his coat shining and his worries behind him, Anchor is ready to set sail into his next chapter. Anchor will need lots of brushing from his new family to help him keep his locks luscious.
Beneath his weathered exterior lies a heart of gold. Anchor is a lovely and sweet boy who craves companionship and affection. He'll never say no to a good chin scratch or a cozy cuddle session.
If you're ready to offer Anchor a loving and secure home where he can spend his days surrounded by care and comfort, please reach out to us. He's hoping to find a forever family who will cherish him for the remarkable cat he is.
Medical notes
Anchor has Grade 3-4 Dental Disease, however surgery has recently been performed. Oral diet food and regular check ups at the vet are recommended for this beautiful boy.
Anchor also has a heart murmur (abnormal heart sound) which was detected on veterinary examination. At this stage the heart on ultrasound is normal. Further testing may be required to ascertain the significance of this murmur.
Due to a nationwide shortage of Feline F3 vaccines, Anchor 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.
