Furnando

Furnando is a gentle little sweetheart who may be a bit shy when you first meet him, but it doesn’t take long before his affectionate personality shines through. Once he feels safe, he becomes a complete snuggle bug; greeting you with adorable headbutts for pats and cuddles, curling up beside you, and switching on his wonderful loud purr the moment he sees you.

He’s playful and curious, especially when spending time with his sister, and is always ready for a game or a little adventure. Furnando has also been introduced to a dog and got along great, becoming very relaxed and comfortable around his canine pal.

Furnando is eating well, using the litter tray perfectly and is an easy, affectionate little companion to have around the home. Furnando would make a lovely addition to a patient and caring family ready to give him the home he deserves.

* 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

MEDICAL NOTES
Adoption fee includes vet check, first vaccination*, flea and worm treatment, microchip including the transfer of ownership, and sterilisation.

Please note: Furnando was previously treated for ringworm while in foster care. Ringworm is a common fungal skin condition seen in young animals and is not caused by worms. It is treatable and, in many cases, resolves with appropriate care and time.

To the best of SAFE’s knowledge, the skin lesions on Furnando have resolved and the condition appears to have cleared. As an added precaution, SAFE requires a veterinary examination prior to adoption to confirm there are no active signs of ringworm before they leave care.

As with many skin conditions in young animals, there is a small possibility of recurrence, particularly during times of stress or if the immune system is compromised. Adopters should monitor their cat’s skin and coat and seek veterinary advice if any new hair loss, scaly patches, or skin changes are noticed. Ongoing veterinary care after adoption is the responsibility of the adopter.

*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. Vet records will be sent after the two week adoption trial period is complete. We will send the microchip change of ownership form to the relevant microchip company, who will notify you once the transfer has completed.
