Rspca - home visit

Hi i adopted a kitten about 8 weeks ago and now they have rang to say they want to make sure we are taking care of her properly and to prove that we are!!!
Well the only proof i have it that my fur-baby is happy and healthy.
Its just annoyed me that they rang up demanding that i show i have taken her for her injections and microchip, and prove i have registered her at a vets. I can not prove i have registered her as i have not needed to take her there yet.
Then blabbered on about if they were not happy they could take her back
Has anyone else experienced this?

Well, if you were supposed to take her for vaccinations and microchip and you haven't, then you need to do it quick!

Re: Rspca - home visit

The rspca normaly do follow ups when they have rehomed any animal, you said you havent registered the kitten with the vets ? and the kitten needs to be upto date with Vacs

the rspca just like to know and will not just take your word for it the kitten is healthy without them checking it out for them selves, anyone could say oh yes their doing great, but some are not so great so they do have to make sure your not fibbing, so really i think you should feel they are doing their jobs properly by wanting to see that all is well, chances are when they have been once they wont bother again,

Re: Rspca - home visit

o no sorry think i made it sound muddled up!
I have registerd her at my vets but i meant i can not prove that as they dont send me a card or anything.
She has had her vacs and her microchip, i had to take her back to the rspca centre 2 weeks after i got her. So they know i have been back and had it all done.
Thats why i was confused they know i have done all of the things i am supposed to do but still said all of this.
It just worries me that if that person feels like it as she said she can just take her away from me.
I love my fur babies and i am getting worried because why would someone say they can take them away before even coming to see me

Re: Rspca - home visit

I think you will find it is a scare tactic to make you panick and do everything to make sure the aniamls are in full health, which is wrong, if it were me i would be inclinde to call them and complain as it has clearly worried you, they can not take away any animal unless they have proof of Neglect or Ill health due to neglect

Re: Rspca - home visit

i thought about ringing to complain, as i would never hurt any animal
i am worried beacause if they were to take her away i would be devastated. Maybe it is or isnt something they have to legally say but i am a worrier anyway.
But they will see when they visit she has everything she could need or want so i am going to try not to worry

Re: Rspca - home visit

i think the visit really is just to check that you're trustworthy (as you are, since you're concerned and love your little friend!), you have to consider situations like when a family gets a cat just because their kids were moaning that they wanted one, and then they all stop caring after a week cause it's too much hassle or they can't be bothered anymore. This is not the case for many people, but they obviously want to avoid the cat being found after 1 year and going back to them that way, causing even more trauma to the poor little thing.
I wouldn't worry about it, I'm sure it's in their interest as well to leave cats in their new houses if they're suitable!

Re: Rspca - home visit

i understood your 1st post, it was perfectly understandable.

i would definately ring to complain and let them know they need to word it better and not be so rude as you have obviously been distressed and given undue cause to worry by a conversation that should merely be an informal precautionary check. i think they do this to a few adopters randomly as a blanket check. the visit itself is nothing to worry about.

As for proving you've registered it with a vets for boosters/vaccinations, just give them the vets details, they can check it up themselves by phoning them.

Re: Rspca - home visit

As she has had her vaccinations and microchip you must have a card showing this? You can show that to the RSPCA home visitor.

They won't take away a healthy, happy kitten. Why would they?

It sounds like whoever you spoke to on the 'phone didn't have great 'people' skills!!

I know it's easy for me to say, but try not to worry.

Re: Rspca - home visit

i have all the paperwork to show she has all vac's and her micro-chip done these were done by the RSPCA, so they should have a record to show i went back to them.
But never mind i will just see what happens on saturday. I might speak to the lady then and tell her i dont think the way she speaks to people is appropiate. Seeing as she has already been to my house to check i was suitable to adopt.
