About Archie
I am a friendly fella who loves to lounge the day away in my bed. I enjoy the company of people and will seek out pats, love and affection. I also love my food!
I can be quite reserved when meeting new people or being in new environments, my forever family will need to be patient and allow me time to settle in.
Although I have shared with cats at the shelter I prefer having my own space and would be suited to an only cat home. If I were to have a cat friend, they would need to be a quiet companion that gives me my space.
I would prefer a home without young children, they're a little too overwhelming for me at this stage. A calm and quiet home environment would be ideal for my nature!
Medical notes
No known pre-existing conditions.
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.
