Hey guys, I'm Tom!
I am a beautifully-natured, quiet boy who gets along well with cats, and small to medium-sized dogs. I am used to part-time working owners, and am a really loving, snuggly cat who deserves the very best.
Unfortunately for me, my last owner did not take very good care of me. I came into care filthy and with intestinal worms literally crawling out of me, how cruel! Thankfully this was all fixed by OTC, and I received full vet work and lots of love to make it all better.
Because I had always been left to roam at night, when I came into care and was kept indoors-only (WAY safer and more responsible than letting cats roam!) I had a bit of an adjustment period where I would pace and worry as it got dark. My carers combatted this by playing with me/cuddling me lots over dinner and family time, and then crating me overnight while they slept. I sleep well in my crate and seem to actually enjoy having my own safe place for the night! I don't really need my crate overnight anymore now, but I figured I'd tell my new family about this so that if I pace the house at night the first few days, you know why and how to help me with it.
It's time now for me to move on and find a new family that will love me as hard as I love them, who can be my friends and thunder buddies - is that you? Please apply to meet me now, I am excited to start my new life!
Adoption details
Before applying, please consider and finalise the following:
- Real estate approval
- 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
CAT 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)
