Changes to our adoption procedure have been made to protect the welfare of all animals at Mount Noddy Animal Centre.
If you wish to adopt an animal from us, we will now be offering an "Appoinment Only" scheme.
This will help reduce any extra stress caused to te animals by people walking around.
You will no longer be able to come to the centre just to have a look at the animals.
Your co-operation on this decision will be greatly appreciated.
You will find that many other animal homes are operating this way purely for the benefit of the animals.
Reception will be open as normal for enquires from 11.am - 1.pm and 2.pm - 4.pm every day except Wednesdays and Bank holidays.
MISCELLANEOUS ANIMALS ADOPTION – PLEASE READ CAREFULLY
Before adopting An animal you must be able to comply with certain conditions under the RSPCA’s re-homing policy.
Please note: Due to the amount of requests that we receive daily for assistance with payment of veterinary bills, this Centre DOES NOT NORMALLY home animals to persons on income support. Persons intending to seek assisted veterinary treatment from the PDSA or similar Charities will also be refused.
Mount Noddy does not normally home animals to families with children under 5 years of age.
In order to qualify for adoption you must:
1. Provide in writing, permission from your landlord if you do not own your own home.
2. Not intend adopting the cat as a present or on behalf of someone else.
3. Bring all household members to meet the dog and agree to the adoption.
4. Be able to afford private veterinary fees (we strongly recommend taking out pet insurance).
5. Provide suitable housing for the animal.
6. Be able to spend time each day with it.
7. Be over 18 years of age.
Ask yourself these questions
• Have you any known allergies?
• Are you pregnant or planning to have a family in the near future?
• Will the animal fit into your lifestyles in years to come?
• If you go away is there someone to look after the animal or can you afford boarding fees?
Home Visits
Once you have completed an application form and chosen an animalt, if your details comply with the above, you will be visited by a voluntary home visitor to check the details on the form are correct. These visits take 4-7 days to arrange (sometimes longer if you live out of our area).
WE RESERVE THE RIGHT TO REFUSE AN ADOPTION AT ANYTIME, WITHOUT NECESSARILY GIVING A REASON OR IF WE FEEL AN ANIMAL IS NOT SUITABLE FOR YOU.
