     •  Good rescue groups understand an older animal
       will be going through grief and bewilderment at                 VIDEO
       having lost its family and home. These ones need                CLICK HERE
       to be treated with gentle care and understanding.
       When they are adopted, the new family and home
       may not be exactly the same as the animal’s
       previous home life.

     •  Good rescue groups understand that the younger
       ones may have started life on the street, in a pound
       or vet clinic. These ones need to be coached with
       gentle care and understanding too. These ones
       won’t know what a normal home is, though will
       generally fit in well as this is another new
       experience for them.

     •  Good rescue groups recognise and treat any
       behaviour issues. Behaviour programs may be
       effective in a short time, or may take a longer period
       depending on the effects and potential causes.

      We provide advice on behaviours we have                Our gorgeous silver tabby girl ZIG is, at just 4 months of
      observed and also how we expect a cat or kitten to   age, our youngest available kitty. Although still a little
      behave in different situations. Part of this knowledge    shy her sweet purrsonality is beginning to shine through!
      is used to match a cat or kitten to a family’s
      requirements for a new pet – ie the purr-fect match.
                                            Being prepared and patient is the best advice we can
      Adopters need to take care and be flexible as to            give for successful integration. All cats have different
      how any new cat or kitten is introduced to a new         personalities/ habits. You need to show a high level of
      family and home.  We provide advice on:   perception and understanding while you get to know your
                                            new kitties nature. Cats can do some really kooky things!
     •  Introducing your new kitty to your family and      What they do could be unrelated to who owned them
        home, introducing your new kitty to other cats,    previously or where their life started. It could be they are
        and introducing your new kitty to a dog.    just being a cat and what they do makes them happy.


                                         From Kia’s new family (Kia was estimated to be
                                         7 years old and came through a pound):  “Kia seems
                                          happy and comfortable with her new surroundings. She
                                          loves opening cupboards and doors, watching TV,
                                          looking out the window and looking at herself in the
                                          mirror. Kia knows what the word no means, is tidy and
                                          clean, and now really enjoys eating chicken. She loves
                                          to play, purr and get under the sheets and go to the
                                          bottom of the bed and fall asleep. Kia is a lovely girl.”


              “ As with all new pets RESCUE CATS & KITTENS just need a little
                          patience and a whole lot of love…” Deb
