Adoption Procedures

 

Thank you for considering adopting an animal from Anima! Please read the following instructions carefully.

All adoptions should be done in person and adopters must be 21 years old or above.

If you want to adopt, please visit our shelter with all your family members and interact with our animals, to ensure everyone in the family knows and is willing to accept the new pet.

The adoption process for Cats or Dogs may take more than one visit to Anima’s shelters.

After being certain that you really wish to adopt, you will be requested to fill in the below Adoption Application Form. This form includes your personal details, such as name and contact information, and a small questionnaire about the role of pets in your life.

Your information will be used internally only within Anima and will not be disclosed to any third party.

The adoption form available bellow will be submitted to approval. This may take a few days and Anima reserves the right to refuse any application for adoption and to revise requirements and fees without notice.

After your application is processed, you will be requested to:

  1. Submit a copy of your ID Card (both sides) or valid Passport (1st page only, containing biometric details) and a Proof of Address (copy of a recent electricity, water or phone bill issued within the last three months from the application date);
  2. Fill in and sign an I.A.M Application Form For First-Time Application For Pets License (IACM-New and 1st Licence-2019) and I.A.M Application Form For Change of License Holder (IACM Change of Property-2019);
  3. Sign a Declaration Letter (Declaration 1&2 EN&CH) promising to not abandon your pet adopted from Anima or, without our written consent, to transfer the property to anyone or other organization.

Please submit all the requested files to our email at info@animamacau.org

Pictures for reference only. All copyrights belong to their respective owners.

Regarding cats, please bear in mind that cats are a playful and active creature and they commonly climb windows. Many incidents have been registered due to cats falling from high floors after escaping. To ensure the safety of cats, every cat adopter is required to guarantee that both windows and balconies are well protected, either with a fence or net.

We will send our staff to conduct a house inspection.

There is a License Fee of MOP$330 for any Neutered Dog/Puppy and MOP$990 for any Non-neutered Dog/Puppy.
(License Fee includes a preliminary health check, five-in-one Canine vaccination, rabies vaccination, deflea, deworm, microchip implantation and metal identification tag – for one dog.)

For any Neutered or Non-neutered Cat/Kitten, you will pay an Adoption Fee of MOP$500.
(Adoption Fee includes preliminary health check, deflea, deworm, microchip implantation and rabies vaccination.)

For other animals, such us Hamsters, Fancy mice or Rabbits, the adoption fee is MOP$200.


# Sterilization/Castration will usually be done before an animal leaves our shelter, but in some cases the operation may be arranged for a later date. Anima is committed to encouraging owners to neuter their pets in order to stop breeding and reduce the chances of animals being abandoned in Macau. Neutering is mandatory. All animals rehomed from Anima will be desexed, unless it is inappropriate for health reasons or due to the age of the animal, as well as if deemed inappropriate by a veterinarian for the particular individual. If there is a valid reason why an animal cannot be desexed prior to rehoming, a later date will be arranged with the adopter.

We will make a good use of the paid adoption fees, as they allow us to take care of more than 700 animals in our association, as well as to find them suitable homes. They also contribute towards feeding and veterinary care, including basic health checks, parasite control, preventive vaccinations, microchipping, desexing, surgeries, ultra-sound, x-ray, different laboratory tests, etc. You can always help Anima paying a little bit more in order to help us covering these costs for our animals.

If your application is successful, we will inform you as soon as possible. If you don’t hear from us within seven days, the application can be considered as unsuccessful.
ONLY successful applicants will be contacted.

After the Final Approval, you will be called to come and pick up your pet by appointment within a certain time period which is designated by Anima, otherwise your application may be cancelled. Cat owners are requested to bring a Cat Carrier and Dog owners should bring a Harness and Leash and safely bring them to their new home. You have to complete the adoption procedure to pick up your pet.

There is a Probation Period of no more than one week, during which you may return the animal to us under reasonable circumstances. Adopter must satisfy the Society that they will provide a suitable home for the animals until they die and look after it to the best of their ability. As a new owner, you should have enough patience and be responsible for the renewal of the license of your dog every three years and for all future expenses, including but not exclusively, food, grooming, preventative vaccination, parasite control and medical expenses. Anima may call you from time to time in order to receive news from your pet, and we may pay a visit, as we miss all pets that leave our shelter and we love to watch them happy in their new home.

In case you are no longer able to take care of your pet and you plan to give him/her to someone else, please inform us of the new owner’s details, animal number and name, as well as the date of adoption.

Thank you for your support!
Please Adopt, Do Not Buy!

Adopting an animal is a lifetime commitment.

Please read and think before filling out the application form.

  1. I promise to take good care of the animal until the end of his/her natural life and that this animal will be housed in proper conditions and will not be caged nor kept alone in neither a balcony nor any small area which may restrict the animal’s freedom of movement.
  2. I acknowledge that if my application is approved I may collect the animal within one week and that there is a probation period of no more than one week in which I may return the animal under reasonable circumstances.
  3. By law, I understand that I am obliged to register my adopted animal license and vaccinate against rabies, if he/she has not been registered, and to settle annual license fees every three years. If the animal has been registered by either Anima or another owner or organization, I commit to make a “Change of Ownership” in Municipal Kennel after adoption.
  4. Any training will be performed with patience, kindness and reward; never by threat or punishment.
  5. I understand that Anima shall not be liable for an existing or dormant condition or injury, or any behavioral problems that may arise.
  6. The costs of all the treatments (if any) required by the animal will be on my own responsibility and expenses, including qualified veterinary surgeon, advised regular checkups, immunizations, injury or any other required treatment.
  7. If within the time of adoption the animal is under the age required for sterilization (dogs and cats are generally neutered at sit months old), I understand that I am obliged to neuter the animal when the time is adequate.
  8. I shall not transfer the ownership of the animal without seeking approval from Anima, and I understand that consent will only be given if the new appointed owner fulfills the same requirements set in this contract. I also promise not to allow the animal to be used for breeding nor experimental purposes.
  9. I promise to inform Anima if any problem arise and allow Anima to help.
  10. I agree that I will be under probation for a period no longer than one week and that I allow visits by Anima’s personnel for regular inspections.
  11. I understand that, if I fail to honor any part of this agreement, neglect or ill-treat the animal in anyway, it may be reclaimed by Anima and all rights of ownership automatically revoked and transferred back to Anima.
  12. I agree that a photograph of me and of my adopted pet will be taken at the time of the animal collection. This photo will be used for promotional purposes in Anima’s Facebook pages and Anima’s website. Failure to comply will revoke this adoption process.
  13. Anima reserves the right to refuse any application for adoption and to revise requirements and fees without notice.
  14. The adopter must be at least 21 years old.
