• All adoption fees include pet registration with council, desexing (or desexing vouchers if the animal is too young right now), microchipping, vaccination, and worming.
• You can take your new car or kitten home with you on the day (once paperwork is all completed), so bring a carrier.
• Rego forms & adoption application forms will be available on the day
• Education, questions answered, or simply drop in for a look & chat.
• Unsure of or if your pet is microchipped? Bring it along and we can scan it for you, we can look up the microchip details to see if its in your name.
