The Tree Family urgently need your support!

The Tree Family is a group of cats currently in our care.

Mum and her four kids were found in an enclosure under a tree. They are now safe in foster care receiving food, water, love and attention, and they have been booked in for their veterinary work.

If you would like to donate to the Tree Family Fund to help with their expenses, our bank details are below:

Join our family and

help a homeless pet in need

We are a non-profit organisation in Adelaide, South Australia, that transforms lives by rehoming pets and supporting owners. With creativity, fun, and a commitment to saving lives, we roll out the red carpet for our homeless pets.

At Adelaide Pets Alive! our homeless pets are cared for in foster homes where they receive individualised love, care and treatment. We believe that foster care plays a significant role in supporting a homeless pets health, behaviour and overall welfare.

Fostering a pet means that you care for a homeless pet in your home while they wait to be adopted. Fostering benefits both pets and people, providing animals with a safe environment while giving caregivers the joy of companionship and the satisfaction of saving a life.

At Adelaide Pets Alive!, we understand that making the decision to surrender your pet is a difficult one. Our organisation is required to manage intake based on finances, foster care availability and animals currently in care.

Sebastian URGENT

Sebastian is a 5 year old male.

 

He currently lives on a large suburban property and enjoys his space to run around. Sebastian is great on the lead and loves the ball! He knows basic commands like sit, lie, shake and has good recall.

Sebastian is incredibly loyal and affectionate. He loves being with people and thrives on couch cuddles!

Sebastian can be left at home if you work.

His perfect day includes a mix of adventure and relaxation, ideally with his family by his side. Adopting Sebastian means gaining a loyal friend who brings joy and activity to your life.

 

Sebastian is desexed and microchipped.

 

Sebastian is an 'Assisted Rehoming' so has no adoption fee.

If you are interested in adopting Sebastian, you can fill out an Adoption Application or email us at hello@adelaidepetsalive.org.au

Our Story

In 2023, Adelaide Pets Alive! was founded and serves the community of Adelaide, South Australia. Fuelled by the urgency to address pet euthanasia, pet homelessness and due to a lack of legal protection for homeless pets, Adelaide Pets Alive! was created to provide a safety net for our furry companions.

"The team was incredibly supportive, knowledgeable and dedicated to making the transition as smooth and positive as possible for Baby Smokie. I've had the pleasure of adopting two cats through Adelaide Pets Alive! and I am so thankful for the amazing work they do each and every day."

“Our family adopted two kittens, Dolly and Leo from Adelaide Pets Alive! last year and they have been an absolute joy. They were in foster care since birth and the kittens were well socialised with people and the resident dog. Our kittens were personally delivered to our home and spent hours with us helping the kittens settle into their new environment. The kittens have blended into our family and live with two big dogs. They are incredibly sociable with our dogs, they eat, sleep and play together like one big family. We honestly feel like the kittens were professionally trained and we are grateful for the loving start they gave our little ones!"

"Garfield is so beautiful, we could not wish for a more perfect boy. His manner, temperament and attitude are the best. Not only was Garfield saved from the community and given a second chance, but he was raised in a loving foster care environment. Not many animals are this lucky! Adopting Garfield from Adelaide Pets Alive! has been the best decision."

"I adopted sweet Marlie (left) from Adelaide Pets Alive! a year ago. I visited Marlie only weeks after his birth and also met his siblings! This was an amazing opportunity! The foster carers kept me updated with Marlie's progress prior to adoption and the process was very personable. It was such a stress free adoption and I can't thank the team at  Adelaide Pets Alive! enough for helping to bring Marlie into our little family. Charlie girl (right) loves her little brother."

Surrender process

"The team were amazing to work with and they helped us adopt out our loving dogs in such a kind, caring and completely non-judgemental way - and that meant the world to us. The process felt supportive and respectful from the start to finish, and we could tell that they truly cared about finding the right home for every animal. We are so grateful for the work they do and the way they make people and pets feel valued."
