There are many reasons that
an animal may be on the site but unavailable for adoption
until a set date. All kittens from the Feilding SPCA must be 8 weeks old or
800grms and also need
to have been spayed or neutered before they can be adopted. Animals brought into the
shelter need to go
through a quarantine period prior to adoption, just to make sure they are in top
health before they
are made available. Some animals are in very poor condition when they arrive at
the shelter, many
are scared and often they have been mistreated so these guys just need some
extra time to recover
before they are ready to be adopted and the list of reasons goes on and on. However if at anytime you see an animal on the site that you think you might like to adopt you can always contact the shelter about this animal and if after meeting the animal you decide that this is the pet for you there is no reason you can not start the adoption procedure prior to the date of availability. As long as you have completed all the necessary paperwork and paid for the animal the Feilding SPCA will continue to care for your pet free of charge until such time as the animal is ready for adoption. This means that as long as the animal has been through any necessary procedures, is of the correct weight, age etc come the date of availability you will be able to collect your new family member without any problems. |
