About Sooty STA009284
Palliative Foster Care
Sooty is an absolutely delightful, petite & gentle senior lady who has stolen many of our hearts, just five minutes with her and you cannot help but fall in love with this angel.
Whilst we cannot be 100% certain our veterinary team believe she has a cancer, add that to her FIV+ status, her prognosis is guarded. She is not suitable for adoption so we are looking for a foster home for her to relax safely and comfortably for the rest of her beautiful life. We don’t know how long that may be, it could be weeks or months. We will supply all of her needs, you will supply a safe indoor only home with plenty of love and security.
Our preference would be that she remains local as you will need to be available to bring her into our Veterinary Clinic as required.
A Foster Application will need to be completed for her as we will not let her go to “any” home, it must be a home that is perfect for her.

Adoption details
Simply note the ID number and the cats name and visit our hostel at 200 Elder Street in Greensborough. Alternatively you can call the hostel on 8457 6500. We are currently open Mon-Fri 10am-4pm / Sat-Sun 10am-3pm.
You should bring proof of your current address and preferably photo identification such as your driving license. You can only adopt a cat for yourself we do not allow animals to leave with third parties. If you are wishing to adopt a cat as a present for someone, bring them with you as cats are individuals and bond with different people in different ways, the cat you may choose, may not choose your friend! It is also important to allocate time for adoption and we recommend you allow at least a couple of hours to get to know the cat and do the necessary paperwork.
When you visit you will get to meet the cat and as this is a very important decision for both you and the cat you choose we will want to ensure the two of you are compatible and that you understand what will be involved in taking the cat into your home.
We will want to be satisfied that you are prepared to be a responsible pet owner. Responsible pet owners at the most basic level, have their pets registered, micro-chipped and de-sexed unless they are registered breeders. They also understand the issues involved in being able to properly care and take responsibility for the welfare of their pets. Most Councils in Victoria have limits on the numbers of cats you may own without a permit. It is important to check with your Council if you already own the limit and obtain a permit for the extra cat before adoption. We will require to see your permit.
We will answer any questions you have regarding cat care and help you to obtain any support you may need.
