Adoption Policy

Thank you for adopting a rescue cat from Cat Lovers Ballarat!

Cat Lovers Ballarat cat rescue specialises in the rescuing and re-homing of adult cats.
The majority of our cats have experienced some form of trauma, whether it is neglect, abandonment, abuse or having been born into a feral colony and trapped wild.
They require very special people to adopt them who are prepared to be patient, allowing their new family member as much time as it takes for them to trust and love again.

Cat Lovers Ballarat requires you to commit to loving, caring for, and providing for your new cat and making it part of your family for the rest of their life.

All Cat Lovers Ballarat cats are adopted as strictly indoors only and by signing the agreement, you are agreeing to keep your new rescue cat safe inside, or with access to a secure outdoor enclosure. Download - CLB Adoption Agreement

In the future, if your circumstances change and you are not able to care for your furry family member, or you feel that it is not working out as you had expected, please call us on 0413 555 979 or email us at info@catloversballarat.com.au, and we will help. We are always willing to take back a cat that we re-homed, no matter how much time has passed, or make suggestions as to how you can settle the new member of the family in easier. 

So, once again, thank you for taking into your family one of our cats in need, and we hope that they give you many, many years of love and happiness. 

Regards,
Sheryl Page, Catherine Blew and everyone at Cat Lovers Ballarat. 

PS: - Please don't forget to send us updates and photos of your new family member, we greatly appreciate it! We welcome all new adopters to join our Facebook Group where you can post updates, ask questions and just generally interact with other cat lovers!
