Animal Rehoming Cairns and Tablelands District Animal Rehoming Cairns and Tablelands District is a Private Rescue Group with breeder identificatio

Animal Rehoming Cairns and Tablelands rescues companion pets such as cats, kittens, dogs and pups from our local pounds in and around the Tablelands and Cairns. ARCAT may offer to protect these pets in foster homes until the right forever homes are found or, we may encourage owners to foster should they require their pets to be rehomed. All our cats and kittens must be adopted into "indoor only" h

omes except in some very special cases. All our pups and dogs will only go to homes with appropriate fences. Please visit our web page http://www.artablelands.com.au

Our aim is to stop the cycle of unwanted pets through desexing and by raising awareness why owners should desex their pets to help prevent the high rates of euthanasia in our pounds and reduce the pressure on rescue groups. Animal Rehoming Cairns and Tablelands District is based in Far North Queensland but we have rehomed many pets right around Australia as far west as Perth and south to Melbourne. We use Dogtainers to move our rescues wherever they are wanted. All our cats, kittens, dogs and pups are microchipped, vaccinated, desexed, wormed and flea treated before they leave our care, which can be arranged at an early age. Cats over 6 months of age are tested for Feline immunodeficiency virus and dogs over 6 months are tested (and treated if necessary) for heart worm. Animal Rehoming Cairns and Tablelands District is a private group operating on private funding, so we appreciate very much the assistance of our vet partners Ulysses Veterinary Clinic and Southside Vets, together with Cairns Animal Welfare. We also thank Tableland Regional Council, Mareeba Council and Cairns City Council for their implementation of policies that allow ARCAT to operate as a foster based group. To find out more about our rescue companion pets, including adoption fees, please message this page or send an email to:

ABOUT MARMALADE

Meet Marmalade, the petite greyhound with a big personality and an even bigger heart! Also known by her racing name Harra's Marmalade, (although she's never really had a career on the track, she is a delicate soul weighing in at a mere 22 kg, which makes her quite compact for her breed. Marmalade sports a pretty face and pricked ears that add to her endearing charm.

It is important that Marmalade find a home with a doggy companion, preferably another Greyhound although not essential as she does warm to other friendly dogs. She is such a young little girl with much to learn and an older, calm companion will ensure that her confidence and true nature continue to develop. For this reason also, we're looking for a family who won't all be working for long hours every day so that she is not home without her family for more than a couple of hours at a time.

Marmalade is a gentle sweetheart who may start off a little timid, but her friendly disposition quickly shines through. She is as energetic as she is graceful and loves to play with fluffy toys, often taking them to bed as her cherished companions. Her impeccable manners extend to mealtime, where she eats with poise, never gulping her food. Marmalade is a social butterfly who gets along beautifully with dogs of all sizes, and she's proven to be cat-friendly, making her an ideal addition to a multi-pet household.

A well-behaved lady on the leash, Marmalade enjoys her walks as much as the cuddles she seeks beside you. She excels in responding to calls, ensuring she's never far from the heart of any action. Her dedication to her human companions is evident through her loyalty and love for staying close. Whether she's lounging by your side or showing off her playful spirit, Marmalade is set to steal your heart with the wag of her tail and a tender nuzzle.

Marmalade is fully prepared for her new journey, having been desexed, microchipped, flea, tick, and worm treated, vaccinated, and heartworm tested negative. For your peace of mind, she is acclimatized to indoor life, as she finds solace in an environment with dog-proof fencing to ensure her safety. Fill your home with warmth and affection by welcoming Marmalade into your life. With her, every day is bound to be an adventure filled with love, laughter, and the companionship of an extraordinary furry friend.
