Congratulations Orlando!
Orlando has now graduated from foster care, finishing school!
Orlando enjoys human interaction – he loves cuddles, laps, pats. We are still working on his being held - he can be picked up and moved, but he is still not comfortable with being held. He loves nothing more than to curl up and snooze in his carer’s lap.
Orlando loves human interaction so much; he has a couple of funny traits:
• In the morning, as he does not know which he wants more, his breakfast or some pats and head bumps, he runs between the two – a bite to eat and then he runs, rubs against his carer’s legs and then back to the bowl for another bite.
• As his carer goes up the stairs he will flop down on every tread, in front of her, to ensure he gets a pat on each one.
• He will flop on the floor and roll, right in his carer’s pathway, to ensure he gets her attention and gets a touch (even if it is simply a gentle push to move him out of the way!)
Orlando is still a little shy with strangers, however, give him a little space and the rattle of the treat bag and it takes all of 3 minutes before he will venture out to say hello.
Orlando is a friendly, playful cat, who gets along with the other cats in his foster carer’s home. We do believe he has probably lived on his own in the past and had to make his own fun, as he is happy to play alone with his toys. Although we feel he will be best suited to life with another friendly cat, the cat will need to be confident, as Orlando plays enthusiastically and fast.
The ideal home for Orlando will be with an experienced cat person, who will understand how to further develop his confidence. It will be an adult only home or with a teenaged family. Orlando would love it if his people were home a lot of the time.
Orlando is such a smoochy boy; he just needs a smoochy family. Is that you?

Adoption details
We are a community fostercare network, not a shelter, and our dogs and cats are cared for in private homes. Note that we are very careful where we rehome our dogs and cats and we have an intensive process. If you want a quick turnaround we are not the group for you. If you seem like a good match for the dog of your choice we will organise a telephone chat, a meet and greet and a property check. We offer free assistance for six weeks for any issues, a lifetime takeback policy with full refund of the adoption fee, and will always be available to offer advice.
We care for our dogs and cats and we want you to as well. We know that genuine applicants have no trouble with this process and understand that if we refuse you a dog or cat, it is because you are not the best match for that pet.
Our commitment to the dogs and cats in our care is total and we treat each one as if we are passing on a family pet. This may not suit you so we point out that there are equally great dogs and cats available in pounds, shelters and with other rescue groups.
If you are still interested, please download an application form from our website:

The application form must be emailed to us:

Please note that we do not take/make telephone calls prior to receiving an application.
Commonly asked questions and their answers are provided when you email us. Unfortunately we usually will not have time to reply to enquiries in more detail and will give priority to completed applications over enquiries. Priority will also be given to typed applications which are easier for us to read and to copy relevant parts.
We look forward to receiving your application.
