VIRTUAL ADOPTIONS

Virtual Adoptions!

Over the years while homing kittens to the public, we have heard people say that they love animals and would love to adopt but for whatever reason, (allergies, viscous dogs, not allowed pets in complex etc.), they couldn’t make the commitment.

From our side we have another problem; too many animals, cats in particular. With not enough funding and manpower to care for all the unwanted cats we have decided to offer the public a chance to ‘adopt’ a cat without actually taking it home. For a minimum of R100.00 per month, you can adopt a cat that lives permanently at the shelter, this money will cover the food and general care, if the cat needs special veterinary care we will broach the adoptive parents for extra assistance should they be willing and able to do so.

You can also get involved with the cats life by coming into our shelter giving him attention and extra care, treats etc. This could make an enormous difference to the lives of our permanent residents, we are very excited and so are the cats!

The following are the group of cats that are up for virtual adoption:


Gruff Mommy had beautiful kittens, who we homed and now live in the lap of luxury, unfortunately she was too wild to adopt out.	Misty Had heart problems when she came in had to go on special meds, friendly but can't be homed because of health issues.

Jezebelle has been virtually adopted and cared for by Stella Seaspirit since June 2010.

Mike Tyson The King of the Shelter, came in with a broken leg, bad flu and everything else that could be wrong with a cat, including FIV. That was 6 years ago and he is still going strong with his fan club of young boy (kitties) that totally idolize him. Although he has tested positive for cat Aids he cannot pass it onto the other cats as he is not a fighter. He cannot ever be homed as a new environment would stress him out and his immune system would be compromised again and he would get sick. Mike Tyson has been virtually adopted and cared for by Meagan and Jaco since March 2010.	The Tsabalala boys Feral's from a nursery, never tamed, think the shelter is the best place ever!
