About Tabitha
Meet Tabitha – the smoochiest, most affectionate cat this foster carer has ever encountered!
If you’re going to pat Tabitha, you have to be commited to the cause, because she will return every pat with a rub against your leg, every belly rub with a purr of thanks.
This incredible girl came to Homeless Hounds as a pregnant mum – now her kittens are grown and she is ready to get back to being a kitten herself – she is approximately a year old and has so much life to live!
Tabitha is not a very big girl, but she sure makes her presence known so if you’re looking for a cat who will keep you company and warm your lap, inquire about this girl today.
Adoption details
Once the animal is advertised candidates for adoption are requested to fill in a form.
The adoption questionnaire form asks where the animal will sleep, details of people and other animals in the home, training and exercise plans etc. We use this form as part of our screening process.
If we like what we read and the animal’s individual needs are met we then conduct an informal phone interview.
Then the potential adopter meets the animal at the carers home or the carer may choose to take the animal to the adopter’s home to do a house and yard inspection.
If the adopter meets the animal at the carer’s home a house/yard inspection is done after the meet.
When the yard inspection is done we are able to further evaluate the suitability of the candidate to adopt.
If we are satisfied that the animals needs will be met by the adopter and that they are a good match for one another then a trial period may begin.
We have legally binding pre-adoption forms which allow us to remove the animal from the home if all other solutions to issues have failed.
We have a good support base which adopters can utilise if needed, such as a professional trainer, a behaviourist, vets and a groomer.
Homeless Hounds offers support to our adopters for the life of the animal. It is policy that each adopter is aware that if the ever need help or to rehome the animal then HH wants to facilitate that.
Our procedures are based on advice from "model" and well established rescue groups and trial and error.
This pet has been adopted and found love with its new family.
