We would love for all our animals to find a forever home by the end of this weekend, so we're reducing their adoption fees!

From this Friday 21 July - Sunday 23 July adoption fees will be:
Cats (4 months+) $30 usually $120
Kittens $50
Mature cats (10 years+) No fee
Dogs (4 months+) $50
Puppies $100 usually $200+
Mature dogs No fee
Rabbits $30
Guinea Pigs $30

Please consider making a donation (even a small portion of the savings) if you use the free adoption offer http://rspcavic.org/donate

All RSPCA animals are health and temperament tested, vaccinated, desexed and microchipped.

These procedures would normally cost:
Desexing (starts from $91)
Microchipping ($39)
Vaccinations (starts from $83)
Vet checks ($65)
Other health care costs that may include dental care ($250) and x-rays (up to $500)

      Yes. However they do not come desexed

    Desexing (starts from $91) Put me and the Mrs down if they could do a desexing for us at those prices. We're never gonna retire if we keep popping kids out at this rate.

      Maybe you need to get desexed Dr Prepper.

      Get Microchipped as well so if you get lost after getting p*ssed at the pub the police can return you to the rightful owner.

    Check out healthy pets plus from greencross a lot of these things are included in the plan and they don't care about preexisting conditions, better than insurance

    I have been thinking about it for a long time. I think finally I'll go for a look at least. I would love a mature cat. I only live in a small apartment, so I don't need an energetic kitten or young cat. An older cat will do me fine. Just someone to cuddle. RSPCA will be crazy busy this weekend though, I think.

    • Kiz on 21/07/2017 - 22:58

      Hopefully you can find a really good friend. Our cat Zoe came from RSPCA and she's gorgeous and great to come home to.

    • lookatthesizeofthat on 21/07/2017 - 23:50

      I prefer the mature cats, more experience.

      • [Deactivated] on 22/07/2017 - 01:02

        Do you purrfer your cats gray and drooping?

    • sagitox on 23/07/2017 - 18:27

      I didn't end up going this weekend. A few reasons. I thought it would be mad busy and I hadn't got anything prepared for my new friend anyway. No bowls, no food, no bed, no litter tray or scratching post, etc.

      I'll purchase these things first then I'll visit. Perhaps on a free weekend, perhaps not. I've made a start, I purchased a food and a drink bowl.

  • syousef on 21/07/2017 - 20:50

    Trying to get an early jump to bring down their kill stats I see. Well less dead animals sounds good to me, but I'm still very conflicted.

    A puppy is still going to cost you around $378 but an older dog might actually be quite cheap if they're already desexed and chipped. The thing is though it will encourage people who can't afford to own pets to buy. Some of them will end up back their. Here's hoping some won't though.

    • veej on 22/07/2017 - 12:17

      RSPCA animals are only adopted out if they are desexed, the prices listed would include the desexing.

      The other prices listed below that are if you want to utilise their services for animals you already own.

  • b4rg on 21/07/2017 - 21:45

    so with puppies.. will it cost $100 + fees to desex, microchip, vaccinate etc? Or is that all included? thanks

    • sky blu on 21/07/2017 - 23:26
      +1

      Yea I want to know this too. Why would it say "All RSPCA animals are health and temperament tested, vaccinated, desexed and microchipped" and then follows with a price list of (compulsory?) services?

      Can someone who has adopted a pet shed some light on the actual costs (upfront on adoption and also an estimated yearly figure in the long run)?

      • douglasac10 on 21/07/2017 - 23:29
        +4

        I think it's not a list of costs you need to pay, but what you could expect to pay if you were to get the procedures done yourself.

      • Peck on 22/07/2017 - 09:12
        +6

        People should be aware that the ongoing costs are a lot more. Food, annual Vet checkups, pet minding for holidays, and also ongoing possible medical treatment from time to time. All of these should be taken into account. If money is very tight, then people should skip having a pet.

    • Ultimate999 on 22/07/2017 - 07:43
      +3

      No, those costs would all be covered for puppies and kittens too. They dont adopt out animals who haven't been desexed or had all their vet work done.

  • lookatthesizeofthat on 21/07/2017 - 23:48

    When I'm in the store they all look so cute and cuddly but once I get them home they can be little shits.

    I think we should have ubercat, 24 hours with the cat, if it starts acting up it goes back.

  • [Deactivated] on 22/07/2017 - 01:10

    A perfect gift for your ailurophobic and cynophobic friends or mother-in-law.

  • Peck on 22/07/2017 - 09:07

    RSPCA should screen potential owners. Often it is not the pets that are the problems but the owners. Don't start me on the stories :((

    • Kessler on 22/07/2017 - 11:57

      With kittens/cats, there is not much screening except for the obvious background checks etc and they do follow up after a few months to check on how it's going

      With puppies/dogs however, the screening can be quite thorough. I had a friend who adopted a puppy from a shelter a few months ago and the shelter insisted on checking the house and yard and also had to meet every family member to ensure the safety of the pup. While I'm sure that level of screening is unusual, the screen process for getting a pup is certainly more intensive than even a few years ago, though that depends on the shelter

      They do don't they? My sister got rightfully turned down after she went in one day, got told to think about it and come back

  • Ken1977 on 22/07/2017 - 10:17

    Good luck finding anything besides a greyhound. My dad has wanted an older small dog for a while after his last dog died from old age a few months ago. We took him to Vic RSPCA thinking he would find something. Not a chance.

    • kthomas on 22/07/2017 - 15:02

      Really? I study at nearby so I pop in regularly to pet the dogs there. There's usually always a couple of small, older dogs. They don't ever advertise them online because there's no need to, they get adopted quickly regardless. It's the same case at the Save-A-Dog-Scheme, no little dogs listed on the website.
      Perhaps you could call up occasionally and inquire about small, old dogs? Maybe they'd also be able to notify you when some come in.

      Don't lose hope though, I've got a 16 year Maltese Shih-Tzu (who I've had since he was a puppy) and its such a completely different and rewarding experience.

    Just got back from RSPCA in Burwood VIC. Got there at 9:30 and there was a 1 hour 30 minute wait time to have someone let you interact with the cats. All the younger/friendlier cats had been adopted already.

    Heads up for anyone planning to go, there are only mature cats(2 years +) awaiting adoption. If you're serious about adopting a lifelong partner, check out the Cat Protection Society of Victoria or the Australian Animal Protection Society.

    • sagitox on 23/07/2017 - 18:36

      Oh wow! This is the RSPCA I was going to go to. I knew it would be busy. I might go next weekend or the next after that or perhaps during the week. I want to adopt a mature cat, so there is no fee for them any time of the year. Glad to hear there are a few there still.
