Adoption Certificate for Nellie, the Daily Thread numbat (with thanks to @Catfish)
founded 1 year ago
MODERATORS
Got approval to get a cat from the REA yayyyyy!!! Now to find some place to adopt from.
Can someone give me some 101s on adoption - what to look out for, to get a kitten or an adult (1-3 yrs? Or is that personal preference?), Starting costs etc?
https://www.neko.org.au/ these guys were FANTASTIC. Both mine are from there and I couldn't recommend them enough. if you have your eye on one bring a carrier with you (one from kmart is totally fine) and chuck a blanket in it. They feed them (or used to at least) Royal canin, so if they still do with having that at home along with the essentials (toys, bed, food bowls, water dish/fountain).
Read the profiles, but know they arnt always 100%. If you are in a position to take a bonded pair its totally worth it too. They are social creatures.
Agree, have adopted through them and also currently fostering a kitten through maneki neko and they've been great.
