About Peggy Sue
Peggy Sue is an 18-month-old torbie girl who is both young and adorable. Her unusual ticked coat is similar to that of an Abyssinian, and she's proven to be a great mother - she recently had a litter of kittens while still being a baby herself! She loves other cats and small dogs, so she should fit right into any home with pets.
Most of Peggy Sue's kittens have now found homes of their own and she is now looking for her furrever home. If you're looking for an affectionate, cute girl who already has a world of experience, Peggy Sue is the perfect pet for you! She comes from a home with five other cats and two dogs, one of which is her daughter Paddy - they look almost identical with their matching colors and markings! These two enjoy lots of fun and games together, so ideally their future home would be one that allows them to stay together. Paddy is a sweet and loving kitty who deserves nothing less than a lifelong home full of love and laughter - could Peggy Sue be your perfect match?
Adoption details
The first step to adoption once you find the purrfect pet, 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 and a property inspection will be carried out on properties in the Port Macquarie area.
A 2 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. THEY HAVE ALSO BEEN KNOWN TO 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.
