Meet Simba

Simba is a handsome 13-year-old gentleman who found his way to us after being handed into a local vets as a stray. Sadly, his owners couldn’t be contacted via his microchip, but this has given Simba the chance to land on his paws and start a new chapter.

This lovely older boy has a calm, affectionate nature and absolutely adores attention. He’s happiest when soaking up fuss and companionship, making him a wonderful friend for a quiet, loving home.

Simba does have a heart murmur, but it isn’t causing him any issues and may be something he’s lived with all his life. He’s currently comfortable and enjoying life at his own relaxed pace.

We don’t have any history of Simba living with other cats, dogs, or children, but he’s a very chilled character. With gentle, sensible introductions, we feel he could adapt well to sharing his home.

If you’re looking for a sweet, laid-back companion who will reward you with affection and gratitude, Simba could be the perfect match.

The adoption process

Application

If you see an animal on our website that you are interested in adopting, you should fill out an Animal Enquiry form. This gives us more details about yourself and your lifestyle to make sure you are a good match for each other. If we get multiple requests for one animal, we will consider them all and choose the most suitable home to match it to a new owner. This will allow everyone interested a fair chance of adopting it

First meeting

If your application is successful, we will invite you for a first meeting. Here, you and the animal will meet each other and see how you get along. Following on from this, there may be more meetings and you can introduce other pets as required.

Home checks

Home checks are required for every dog before we set the adoption date. This was done physically pre-Covid but we now ask for videos and photos. We need to be sure the home environment is suitable for that dog and the garden is secure. If dogs/rabbits are going to live with other dogs/rabbits, we will arrange an introduction as previously mentioned.

Keep in touch

Every adoption is as unique as each animal. Please remember although sometimes it might seem like a lengthy process, we are doing this to make sure each animal is found the right home for their lifetime.
