Very few of our adoptable animals are located at the South Lismore Rehabilitation Centre, as ARRG is primarily a foster carer group. To make an appointment to meet animals with foster carers you must first submit your application with attachment\/s, before being referred to the foster carer to organise a day\/time to meet.<\/p>\n
*All potential adopters are phone interviewed for suitability prior to making an appointment to meet the animal of choice.<\/p>\n

After submitting your emailed application, with attachment\/s, give us time to process your email, if suitable for the animal, we will give you a call for more information and to make an appointment to meet animal available for adoption.<\/span><\/p>\n[\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”I rent do I need to tell my Agent\/Landlord?” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” open=”off”]<\/p>\n
Renters need a letter of agreement from either the rental agent (on their letterhead) or the property owner. If a letter is from the property owner and NOT from a rental agency, then a letter will need to be accompanied by the owner\u2019s proof of homeownership (ie, Rates Notice) as verification that they are the owner of the property you are renting.<\/span><\/p>\n[\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”What’s the Adoption Agreement?” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” open=”off”]<\/p>\n
When adopting an animal from ARRG, you will be asked to sign an Adoption Agreement form whereby you will be agreeing to certain conditions. At the time of adoption make sure you READ the complete ADOPTION AGREEMENT policy before signing the form, so you fully understand to what you are agreeing.<\/span><\/p>\n[\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”Should I keep my cat(s) inside all the time?” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” open=”off”]<\/p>\n
Keeping a cat inside, particularly at night, will protect it from accidents and fight injuries. Keeping it permanently inside will also protect local wildlife and lessen the possibility of hunting-related parasites. If your cat does go outside, you can buy a \u2018cat bib\u2019 for it to wear https:\/\/catbib.com.au\/, which curtails its ability to hunt birds. White cats or cats with white ears or noses should also be kept inside and out of direct sunlight to avoid skin cancer.<\/p>\n
Think about adopting two bonded adults or two kittens so they have company if you’re not at home all the time.<\/p>\n
[\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=” Do I need a cat carrier when I pick up my cat\/kitten?” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” open=”off”]<\/p>\n
Yes you will need a carrier to transport your cat(s) or kitten(s), ask friends who have cats if you can you borrow theirs until you can buy one yourself. A cat carrier is something you will need to transport your pet to the Vet or when moving home.<\/p>\n
To secure carrier in car, place seatbelt through the handle. You do not want the cat carrier to become a projectile in the event of an accident.<\/p>\n

ARRG provides a 14 day settling in period for you and your new companion. If your new cat does not settle into its new home, please consult the ARRG volunteers at our South Lismore Centre (02) 6622 1881 (M-F 9-3) for advice. If the problem\/s can’t be resolved you can book an appointment to return your adopted cat prior to the animal being returned to the Lismore ARRG Centre. A refund of the adoption price will be paid by bank deposit, provided the animal is returned within 14 days from the date of adoption.<\/p>\n
If for an unanticipated reason, in the future, you cannot keep this adopted cat, you must first contact ARRG before attempting to re-home. When ARRG is in a position to accept the return of the cat, when there is available space, you must pay a surrender fee and return all appropriate paperwork to allow it to be re-homed by ARRG.<\/p>\n
