Adopting a small animal from Woodlands
Animal Sanctuary
Cats,rabbits,guinea pigs etc are wonderful creatures, aren't they?
Its so easy to be tempted to adopt a cute cat, kitten or rabbit
on impulse, then find out the hard way that sharing means something
of a change in lifestyle. You are responsible for the health of
another creature, for making sure that it gets regular vaccinations,
that it is wormed several times a year and treated for fleas.
If its a kitten, its up to you to make sure that it is neutered
at six months old. You have to remember always to have cat food
in stock, and then there's the worry of vets bills in the event
of sudden illness or accidents.
At holiday time, have you got friends willing to take care of the
cat, or can you afford the extra cost of boarding your cat on top
of the cost of your holiday?
If it's a rabbit it also needs vaccinations spaying/neutering and
a large hutch and run.
Keeping a pet costs money
and time, and we are looking for kind, responsible people who understand
this, and are willing to take into their lives a small animal that
may already have lost one or more homes. When adopting an animal
from us, you should be prepared to make a donation, to tell us about
the home you want to take the animal to and to allow a volunteer
to visit you at your home to make sure that all is well (a follow-up
visit may also be required). In turn we will try to ensure your
new friend is healthy and where possable suitable for your needs
and
be here for you with advise whenever you need it.
We are also always looking
for good homes for feral cats and kittens. Good homes for these
cats/kittens are on farms or at stables, where they can be working
cats, having a warm bed in a barn or stable, food provided every
day and in return they look after barn and stable related problems
'MICE'...Can you help or do you know of a farm/stables near you
that would be interested.
