Vet Rescue - CatRescue's Vet program

The VetRescue program rehomes kittens through a number of Vet based adoption Centre's. Vets who join the CatRescue program are given priority support through our network of carers and volunteers as well as regular kittens for rehoming.

Kittens that are older than 6 weeks and fit for rehome are saved by CatRescue staff, checked out through a "fast friendly kitten carer" then delivered to the VetRescue rehoming centre. From there the Vet will display them in a CatRescue enclosure and offer the ability to rehome to customers and visitors.

Vets are experts in rehoming and can provide valuable advice to help new parents with care for a cat. VetRescue relies heavily on the support of our volunteers and vets as it generates no revenue for CatRescue. We simply keep a steady stream of healthy kittens in your rehoming centre ready for rehome.

Benefits for Veterinarians

• Increased revenue through growing a loyal cat customer base
• Media friendly ongoing exposure for your vet.
• Greater exposure to marketing programs from CatRescue, increasing revenue
• Saving lives that would be otherwise abandonded and lost
• Your own Virtual Team. A network of supporting volunteers to help you market, increase your business and rehoming.

Benefits to Cats, CatRescue and Community.

• Cats saved through previously unexplored channels
• Ongoing connection to community for cat rescue issues
• Increased awareness of quality care through vets, rather than unqualified sale through pet stores
• Development of rescue "cells" for rescue and rehoming
• Better care for kittens, less likelyhood of disease or infection that is possible in shelters.
• It's just a damn good concept.

Limitations and behaviors

• CatRescue does not support "Kill" Vets. If kittens get flu or ringworm we will gladly take them back and rehome.
• Vets are required to provide a "limit" of kittens and cats. That way we can never overcrowd you.
• Vets need to encourage customers to desex, vaccinate, Microchip and treat their new kitten

Costs

• Ongoing costs of feeding and treatment.
• Costs of a CatRescue display cage (Estimated $150) we will attempt to provide these free from our carer stock but this depends on how much money we have and what we can do.

Returns policy - CatRescue will always take back kittens that we have provided to a VetRescue or a carer. We will not leave a kitten behind.
