Hello, Duchess here, I am a confident and sassy lady who is ready for my own family! I was rescued from a council pound when I ran out of time after my owners abandoned me. I am very grateful for the OTC team who rescued me and have made up for all that fear ever since!
I settled quickly into foster care, taking over my foster carer's bed and demanding pats from everyone. There are other cats here who I was quick to tell to back off- I don't like to share my space, and instead prefer to spend my days at the window watching the world go by. I let them in my room but only if they respect my personal space!
I love following my foster mum around the house, and sitting on the couch when it's time to read or watch tv. When visitors come over, I am quick to run and investigate and introduce myself, enjoying all the pats and snuggles. When I've had enough, I will announce my departure and go to my room.
I have met the dogs here, I was not a huge fan, and stayed in my room until they left. If you have dogs I would prefer to not have to be around them. I would love to be the only pet in the home, but will also adjust with time if I have to!
I am a little older, but dignified- and still playful at times. I love my toys but am not as high maintenance as some of those pretty young things!
If you think we'd make a great team, I'd love to hear from you!
Adoption details
PLEASE NOTE - DUE TO COVID-19 RESTRICTIONS WE ARE NO LONGER ACCEPTING ADOPTION APPLICATIONS FROM OUTSIDE Queensland. All pets must be collected from Toowoomba or Brisbane. Transport cannot be arranged by Off The Chain K9 Rescue Qld- this is adopter responsibility. We appreciate your understanding.
Before applying, please consider and finalise the following:
- Real estate approval
- Fence requirements
- Outside shelter areas
- Other resident pets fully vaccinated and preferably desexed
- The rescue pet's dietary requirements eg large breed vs medium breed, age
- Enrichment, exercise and training needs of pet you are applying for
- If you have not read our adoption process below in full, please do not apply until you have.
Once you are ready to adopt, please complete the OTC Adoption Application questionnaire below. This is not a contract or agreement of any kind, just an expression of interest in the animal. We will not authorise meets unless this has been completed and only approved applicants may meet the animal. Once you are approved and have submitted all relevant information, we will organise for you to meet the pet. We will not contact you if you do not complete the form in full AND provided the required photos of yard/fencing within 48hrs. Photos may be sent to our facebook page, or email offthechaink9rescue@outlook.com
ADOPTION APPLICATION: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/CatAdoptionApplicationOTC
If you apply to adopt but require us to hold the pet more than 3 days before meeting, we will ask you for a non-refundable holding deposit of $100. If you are unwilling to put a deposit on the pet, we will continue to advertise and speak with other potential adopters. If you follow through with adoption after your meet, the $100 holding deposit is then subtracted from the outstanding adoption fee, which is to be paid at collection of the pet. Eg if full adoption fee is $450, and you place a $100 holding fee on the animal- the day you collect the pet you will sign an adoption contract and pay the remaining $350 fee.
All animals are adopted out with vaccinations up to date; any vaccinations due from date of adoption are the ethical and financial responsibility of the adopter. During the trial period, should the pet become ill, you must notify OTC, and present it to the OTC-approved vet clinic we direct you to in your area. OTC will cover any treatment needed at our authorised clinics.
Ready to roll? Then fill out the application form, and we will be in contact to successful applicants asap. Feel free to follow us up via Facebook page inbox. (www.facebook.com/offthechaink9)
