About Flash
Flash is our gorgeous "old lady" looking for someone who would like a loving companion - she only requires a small amount of exercise - she is 14 years old with the usual health deterioration ailments common in the oldies. She is very quiet, content just to sit in her little bed and take a few walks around the yard when she feels like it.
Flash's elderly owner had to surrender her because of her own health problems. She has a few lumps and bumps (all of which have been checked over by our vet) and can be quite timid during the initial meet and greet. She is really looking for a home where she can live quietly and peacefully. Ideally, she would suit an elderly person/couple looking for companionship and who are in a position to offer this old girl a happy home and life for another year or two.
Flash needs to stay in the Port Macquarie area - she is too old to be travelling far - we just want her to be happy and healthy.
Adoption details
The first step is to phone (preferred ) or email Port Macquarie Animal Welfare Service for assessment regarding prospective ownership and pet suitability.
Adoption Application forms must be completed and include a vet reference and photos of yards and fencing. A property inspection will be carried out on properties in the Port Macquarie area.
New dog owners must have a fully secure, fenced yard offering protection from all types of weather, subject to approval by PMAWS.
A 2 week trial period commences on the day of adoption.
All PMAWS dogs & cats are desexed, vaccinated, heart & intestinal wormed, flea & tick treated.
Introducing a Kitten/Cat into a new home (especially where either a dog or cat already lives) can be a difficult challenge. It requires patience, perseverance and supervision.
Once your new kitten/cat arrives home, it should be made to feel safe in its own room - we call this the "sanctuary". \ No other cat or dog should be allowed into this room. The kitten/cat will need bedding, food, water, a view out of a window and somewhere to hide. A good idea in dog and cat families is also a 2 metre tall scratching post, where a kitten/cat can retreat if it needs to.
Keep the kitten/cat in a room for the first few days, then, gradually, using a series of wooden chocks (or similar), open the door slightly to allow paws and noses to meet. It can then be opened further to allow the kitten/cat in and out, but not the older cat or dog in. We recommend that this should be continued for 14 days.
PMAWS urges all owners to keep their cats indoors.
