About Dexter
Dexter is a one-of-a-kind!
Don’t let the fact he missing one of his front feet fool you - he can get around just fine on the other 3.5 legs! Nothing is going to stop this kitty!!
Look up ‘purr machine’ in the dictionary and there will be a picture of Dexter 🤣
His loud purr, always on, will melt your heart!
He LOVES to snuggle up - he’s quite happy if you hold him all day! He likes to follow you around like your little shadow to see what you are up to!
He gets on well with other cats and has been around small dogs in his past foster home. He may be shy when first meeting you but less than 24 hours later he’s all over you! He does still like to play bite so please keep this in mind if you have young kids.
Important Note: Because he is missing half of his front leg, Dexter needs to be in a home that is one level - he can get around well but adding stairs to the mix will over time put a lot of strain on his other front leg. Other than that he functions just like any other kitty!
Adoption details
**We will contact each enquirer from Pet Rescue within 48 hours**
Welcome to Small Paws Animal Rescue QLD.
We aim to place each of our animals with the best family possible.
Our adoption process may seem a little complex, we ask a lot of questions. But there are reasons for this.
1. Our animals in care are like our children.
2. We want to match the best humans with the animals to ensure you are happy and our animals are happy.
3. We don't want animals to come back to us. We want their family to be forever.
So our adoption process begins with an application being completed.
Once we receive the application we will assess it on face value of the answers you have provided.
Once we can determine if you sound like a good fit, we will call you to chat a bit further.
This is when we will schedule a meet and greet with your potential new family member/s.
We may need you to have more than one meet, especially if you have other pet/s that need to be introduced or children and other human family members.
We will confer with our foster carer, and advise you as soon as possible if you were successful in your meet and greet.
Once we have confirmed your success, we will arrange for the paperwork to be completed including the adoption payment.
We allow our foster carers time to say goodbye to their foster babies, it can be hard for some to give them to their new homes and we recognise all the hard work and dedication they have put in to ensure that your new family member has been safe and is ready to go to their forever home.
We will keep in contact with you for 2 weeks during a "trial" adoption period. There are terms and conditions to be met and we will advise you of these.
Once the trial period has ended we will send you the paperwork for your new family member.
At any time after this - if you need assistance you can always contact us.
