About Archie
Wow if you had seen me six months ago you wouldn't think I was the same down-to-earth boy. I had a pretty rough start. I was dumped in a box with my brother then ended up in this cold place called a pound. I was so scared of everything and then one day I got picked up by a smiling lady who told me I was beautiful, who I later found out was my foster mum. She took me home made me a beautiful warm bed, fed me and told me how much I was a good boy. It's taken me a while to understand she is helping me feel safe and loved and I've since been in her home for months and I really would love a family of my own. I love all fur friends big and small. I'm awesome with kids.... they carry me around and I'm happy to be with them. I spend most of my days laying in the sun sleeping with my doggy friends and at nights I love to fall asleep cuddling up to you on our bed ....
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. A property inspection will be carried out on properties in the Port Macquarie area.
A two week trial period commences on the day of adoption.
All PMAWS cats come desexed, microchipped, vaccinated (up to date), wormed, flea treated and litter trained.

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, he or she should be made to feel safe in their own room - we call this the "sanctuary". No other cat or dog should be allowed into this room until they are fully comfortable with their new surroundings. 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 they need 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 for their own safety. There are people around who aren't fond of cats and can do unthinkable things to our defenceless little babies. Also they can be collected and used as live bait for dog training and fishing lures, and also kittens as live snake food. The only way to keep your kitty 100% safe, is to keep them indoors and we wholeheartedly encourage this practice.
