Sweet, gentle Dixie will be your best friend. She has a stunning tabby coat with dainty white paws and has been raised from 2 weeks old in her carer's home with other adult cats and kittens. Dixie adores tummy tickles and chasing her toys until she wears herself out and takes a big nap to get the energy to start all over again! Dixie would thrive in a home with children and other cats for lots of company and love. She has not yet met any dogs but with gradual, supervised introductions she should adapt to living with a friendly dog.

Adorable Dixie is looking for her loving new home now. Could you be her new family?

* If you already have pets in your home, a slow and gradual introduction is a must, to ensure your pets and your new kitten have the best chance at a successful integration

* Kittens love company and do best in homes where they are not left for long hours without people.

MEDICAL NOTES
Adoption fee includes vet check, first vaccination*, flea and worm treatment, microchip including the transfer of ownership, and sterilisation at a SAFE approved vet at 6 months of age (see list below).

*Kittens may require further vaccination(s) to complete the full vaccination course. This will be at the cost of the new owner and is not included in the adoption fee. Please enquire for more information.

ADOPTION DETAILS
To apply to adopt, please complete a SAFE Cat Adoption Enquiry Form via our website. You will be advised if your chosen kitten is still available and then put in contact with the carer for a chance to ask further questions. If a meet-and-greet is then arranged, we will email the adoption paperwork and payment instructions to you prior to this. Please note payment must be made before adoption trial starts and we are unable to take cash payment.

Our adoption process includes a two-week trial to ensure your chosen pet is the right fit for your home. After a successful trial period, SAFE Bunbury will arrange transfer of ownership on your new pet's microchip and email copies of their vet records out to you.

When adopting a kitten under 6 months old, one of the following approved vet clinics should be selected by the adopter to arrange for his/her sterilisation by the age of 6 months. The sterilisation surgery is included in the adoption fee:

Blair Street Veterinary Hospital, Bunbury
