About Harley
ON TRIAL - Sweet Harley is a very loving and extremely affectionate boy, but is quite shy and timid until he gets to know you. He doesn't like to be left alone, and if he thinks he has been abandoned will search the house crying and calling out until somebody answers him and tells him it's all okay. He is an amazing, sweet little soul.
Harley needs to go to a quiet home as he frightens easily. Noisy children would definitely not be good for him, so he would only go to a home with older kids who understand his disposition and that he needs that little extra TLC. He loves to sleep curled up next to you, and in the cooler weather, under the blankets in bed tucked up nice and close, so if you don't appreciate a purring pillow throughout the night, Harley isn't the cat for you. Harley definitely needs to go to a home where there is at least one other cat to keep him company as he isn't a boy who copes well with being on his own. His best friend in the world is his brother Garfield, and he is quite attached to him, so it would be great for these little boys to be rehomed together.
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.
