About Archibald
Introducing the sweet and endearing Archibald. He's a tad on the shy side, which only adds to his unique charm. This darling is on the lookout for a patient and understanding pet parent who can patiently help him grow comfortable and confident, at his own pace.
Although Archibald may be timid, he truly appreciates tender loving care. He isn't the kind to pounce on your lap immediately but has a unique way of showing his affection. Sometimes he might be tucked away in one of his favourite hidey-holes, but don't let that stop you; he'd be more than happy if you reached out for a gentle pat. Other times, his sweet nature prevails and he'll approach you, silently asking for that endearing pat. His foster carer has reported that he adores their older resident cat as well!
Archibald's purrs are music to your ears, and his excitement is truly heartwarming. The sound of his loud purrs, brought on just by just seeing someone he loves is just about the sweetest thing ever!
**Please note, Archibald is an indoor-only cat. The exception to this is if he has access to a secure outdoor enclosure. This is to ensure his health, safety and wellbeing.
**Archibald must go to a home with another cat, or adopted out with another cat to avoid single-kitten syndrome. Please find further information about this here:
Adoption details
Regardless of the breed of animal you are looking to adopt, our adoption process is the same.
The first step of the process involves submitting an adoption application form. The form helps us understand a little bit more about you and your household and is used to figure out whether animal is the right fit for your household and what you are looking for, and also if your household is the right fit for the animal.
After a review process, shortlisted applicants will be contacted by one of our volunteer adoption coordinators usually by phone call or message. This is an informal conversation to discuss any questions we may have about the application and re-confirm any information provided. It is usually at at this point that we will organise a Meet & Greet with you and the animal.
It is a Strong Heart’s adoption policy to arrange a Meet & Greet with the prospective family and the animal before finalising the adoption. The Meet & Greet will allow the opportunity to visit the animal and have a pat and a play with them. The foster carer will tell you a bit about the animal's personality and what they have been like for the time they’ve been in their care. It is a great opportunity to ask the carer about the animals food, sleeping and any other health requirements.
If the Meet & Greet goes well on the day, in most cases you will be able to take the animal home straight away after payment of the adoption fee. All necessary paperwork including vet work history and transfer of ownership information will be sent via email within a few days unless otherwise specified.
