IFAW, the International Fund for Animal Welfare, is our chosen go-to for sending money into disaster-struck and war-torn areas, both Abroad and within Australia.
This quizz can be a bit confronting, hard to know what answer to choose.

HomeSafe microchip registry has shut down, and as yet the data from microchips listed with them has not been transferred to another registry. Apparently there is no legal requirement that this be done.
The microchips of pets registered to Homesafe have become untraceable.
Homesafe was mostly used in Queensland and NSW.

You can check your pet's microchip registration at www.petaddress.com.au to find which data-base your pet is listed with.
If it is HomeSafe, consider re-registering with a different data-base: CAR, AAR, Petsafe or perhaps Global registries are all accessible nationwide. Your vet can help with this.
A collar ID tag with your phone number is a great idea too!

Also please note that the NSW Registry is only accessible within NSW. In any other state, they will show as being unregistered.
Your pet is untraceable.
It is best for you also to re-register on one of the National data bases.

For Our Clients: we can readily check your chips and advise accordingly. just phone through, email or SMS the chip number to us; or bring your pet to the front desk to be scanned. 64371331 0408140548

Simply type the microchip number in the search field; then click to search. If your number is found in one of the databases you will be directed to the database for further information.

KITTENS needful of Homes.
Nerida has had her Spey procedure and is awaiting a new home. Her little 1/2-sister Minette is due for her Spey next week.

These two foundlings have been fostered by a great little mother-cat and have grown up in a quiet and safe environment. Cheeky and playful, they can be seen in our window but ONLY when we have staff available to care for them there.

Fully deWormed and deFlea'd, they are already litter-trained & have begun what will be a complete course of F3/FIV vaccination Their microchips will be registered into their new owner's name. We give them a kitten pack of food, litter and a blanket they are used to, to help them settle in. Also a reflective collar with a bell [JIC, especially since they are black].
$340
Currently ALL proceeds are going towards animal welfare in war zones, via IFAW [further information at our front counter], or you can scan down to our previous IFAW posting.

64371331 or SMS 0408140548 or come in for a visit.
