About 🪀 James (Jimmy) 5740 🪀
Meet James, or as we lovingly call him, Jimmy! This charming feline is an expert "cookie maker," kneading imaginary dough with his paws in a way that will steal your heart. Known for his culinary talents in feline circles, Jimmy is a comforting presence who adds warmth to any space he inhabits.
While he might take a little time to settle into a new environment, once he feels at home, Jimmy's affectionate side truly shines. He is a gentle spirit who craves connection and adores nothing more than basking in gentle, loving attention. He has a particular weakness for chin scratches and will eagerly nudge his head against you for some quality head bunting.
Jimmy's ideal match would be someone who can appreciate both his quirkiness and his tender moments. If you are looking for a purrfect blend of warmth, companionship, and a little bit of quirky charm, James is the one to welcome into your life.
Medical notes
James does appear to have some mild strabismus, which can sometimes make him look a little cross eyed.
Adoption details
Two stories to show you what happens to our furbabies and how they become to be adopted.
1. Cats are impounded at the Shelter/Pound
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 Shire’s 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 won’t 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.
