Meet Rafaella

Raffaella is a cute young feline searching for a dedicated human to take her under their wing. Poor Raffaella was found abandoned outside a member of the publics gate and was brought into the care of Thornberry thankfully – she is now being cared for and attended to as she should be! This little lady is currently very nervous and non-trusting of strangers which is to be expected after all that she has been through. Raffaella does not have a nasty bone in her body, she is simply scared and needs a kind & caring superhuman to give her all the time she needs to settle. We have no doubt that in the right home with lots of gentle love and care, Raffaella will flourish into a fabulous little companion. We have limited information regarding her background but believe Raffaella would thrive in a quiet, adult only home, potentially with a feline friend of a similar temperament if gradual introductions are in place. If you have the space in your heart and home to give Raffaella the home she deserves then please enquire.

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.
