Rehoming Policies: RSPCA
REHOME AN ANIMAL
Rehoming policies – RSPCA (Rehoming policy, 2014.)
Stray animals are kept for at least seven days, this allows any owners of the animals found to be able to reclaim them.
All animals are given an examination by a veterinary surgeon before adoption.
Anyone under the age of 18 or without proof of identification are not allowed to rehome an animal.
No animals are allowed to be rehomed to anyone until reasonable steps have been taken to ensure the animal will have a good quality of life in the future. Once a match has been found between animals and a potential owner, a home visit will take place.
Potential owners should always choose an animal in person and never over the internet, mail order or given as a prize.

Behavioural and veterinary history information will be given to new owners and adoption support will also be given to help the animal to settle into their new home.

All rehomed dogs and cats will also be microchipped.
The RSPCA will not rehome any rabbits, unless specific medical or behavioural problems, alone.
Animals should not be rehomed to any countries that lack the correct animal welfare legislation.

Next, the cats head is gently pulled back so that the cat's nose is pointing towards the ceiling, as this is happening, the cat's mouth should automatically open a little (Ruben, 2006). Now with the head up, using a forefinger and thumb against the corners of the cat's mouth, as shown in figure 4, the cat's mouth should open a little wider. If needed, the handler can use their other hand, gently push the cat's jaws open further with another finger. The pill needs to be placed in the cat's mouth as far back as possible, once, inside the cat's mouth, the jaw should be closed quickly, stopping the cat from spitting it out. To encourage the cat to swallow the pill, a finger can be lightly run up and down the cat's throat. When the cat begins to lip their lips, it shows that the pill has been swallowed (2).
HEALTH CHECK AN ANIMAL

The first thing to look at when examining an animal would be to check the animals head.
Eyes - Clear, no discharge, inflammation or swelling.
