ADOPTING FROM SHAID
ADOPTING A KITTEN, ADULT OR SENIOR CAT
As kittens, adults or senior cats become available for adoption, they are posted online (Facebook, Instagram and our Website).
If you are interested in adopting through SHAID:
Visit SHAID, 950 Mullock Rd, Whynott's Settlement Tuesday to Saturday from 11am-3pm. (no appointment needed)
If you would like to adopt 2 kittens, they must be the same gender as they are not yet neutered/spayed.
At this time cats and kittens are available on a first come, first serve basis and do not require an application however to save time please feel free to fill out an application beforehand and email it to info@shaidanimalshelter.com.
Staff will conduct a short interview on site before adoption. If it seems like a good fit there is some additional paperwork to fill out at the shelter before you can bring your forever friend home!
Please note: We understand some people travel to SHAID for certain animals, however, we do not put holds on cats that are available for adoption. If there is a cat you're interested in, you must be the first person at the shelter for that cat on the day the cat becomes available and the best fit for the cat in question.
VISIT THE SHELTER WHEN YOU ARE READY TO ADOPT.
SPECIAL NEEDS
Some cats are available via online application only and not by walk in. It is specified in their Facebook/Instagram post. Applications for those cats are found here.
ADOPTING A DOG
When dogs arrive at SHAID, we place them in temporary foster homes to give them time to settle in while we learn about their unique traits, needs, and quirks. During this period, we schedule their spay or neuter surgeries, arrange veterinary checks, vaccinations, microchipping, and parasite treatments. Once we have a solid understanding of the dog, we post them on Facebook, Instagram, and our website, listing them as "Looking for a Foster Home with Intent to Adopt!" After receiving applications, we carefully select the best match based on the dog's needs, conduct background checks with listed references, and, if everything checks out, arrange a meet-and-greet between you and the dog. If it seems like a good fit, you'll take the dog on a foster trial for a week or two. If the trial goes well, we’ll proceed with finalizing the adoption.
All applications get emailed to info@shaidanimalshelter.com.
