Adopted at First Sight - find your Purrr-fect Match!

We have created a profile which helps our adoption officers match you to the right cat- and the best part is, if you feel we got it right choose the Purrr-fect Match or you, your adoption price is halved! Simply download the form from here and return along with a pre-adoption questionnaire to [email protected]. Our adoption officers will be in touch about arranging a personal one-on-one for you to meet your Purrr-fect Match.

Alternatively, call our friendly staff to discuss your answers over the phone, they will then get to work finding the right cat for you! Remember, if you choose your Purrr-fect Match the adoption fee is halved – all other cats are available for the regular adoption fee.

Adopting A Pet

BARC’s aim is to match you with the perfect pet, to do this, we need some information from you prior to introducing you to potentially suitable pets we have available for adoption. Download our pre-adoption questionnaire, you can fill it out and bring it with you, or you can fill in a copy when you visit the Shelter.

All pets rehomed through BARC are treated for fleas and intestinal worms, desexed and vaccinated. BARC encourages responsible pet ownership, all adopted pets will need to be registered with the City of Greater Bendigo prior to leaving the shelter. You can read more about caring for your pet post adoption.

Adopting an animal from a shelter can be very rewarding. Bow Wow Meow has published “the ultimate guide to bringing a rescue dog into your home” which you may find is full of useful information and advice!

Each Thursday Morning at 8.15 listen in to Gold Central Victoria for 'Robbo's Pet Project' where we feature our Pet of the Week!
