Have wanted to foster some kittens for some time and finally did so once we moved into our own place. I chose to care for two kittens and made sure to tick the box saying they can't be unwell due to having my own cat also living in the house. I kept them in a separate room so there was a door between my cat and the kittens (a few small interactions under the door but that was as close as they ever got). A few weeks after having the kittens I took them back in for their vet check and one returned with a red eye which I flagged with Ten Lives. Days later my cat showed signs of cat flu and a 3am 230 trip to the emergency vet was eventually needed. I ended up giving the beautiful kittens back and was sad that the sick one was still adopted out straight away. My cat who has always been inside and healthy has now had cat flu for a second time since and Ten Lives hardly wanted to know about it at the time. I had to push for their vet to give my cat a look over when I dropped the kittens back as I would have otherwise been charged again for another vet trip. It was then I was told they were aware they had returned the kitten unwell but had never mentioned it to me. Complete disregard for carers and their own pets and tried to put the blame on me for not washing my hands, putting the cats together etc which was not true and was even told I 'should have ticked that I didn't want unwell cats' which I had. Loved fostering the kittens however it seems not all staff are about the health of the cats or the feedback from when they were in care.

Hi! I went with my mum to Ten lives today it was amazing I was going to adopt a cat but it wasn’t suitable for my home but that’s alright they always have amazing beautiful cats they always provide Sanitizer and much more I think Ten lives is amazing, also great customer service!
Im a temporary resident of tasmania and they refuse to let us adopt a precious cat. Im a previous cat owner and this is heartbreaking. They should screen the people before they’re letting everyone it, this is unfair and unjust. Provided that my friends are temporary residents and white but didnt question their residency at all. Please make an action plan for this. Have some proper screening. Dont judge people because of its race. Let this fur babies get adopted by rightful owners.
The staff here are always so lovely and here is where my family adopted my best friend in the world :')
Lots of cats
I adopted an adult cat from this shelter and was assured he would be happy to live indoors and he wasn't. As soon as he made himself comfortable, which was virtually immediate, he was bored and started meowing incessantly to go outside. I returned him and was refused a refund. As a disability pensioner, I did not want to make a 300 donation, I wanted a companion. Take care here, not everything is as rosy as it seems.
These guys are flat out amazing. They are a charity that gets no funds from the government, and rely on donations and volunteers - which is tough down here in Tassie. It's changed so much over the last few years and I am amazed at what they can achieve with next to nothing. Keep up the good work you amazing people - the cats need u!
Caring place. Beautiful environment
