Like many others, Animal Lovers League (ALL) all started with a love for animals. ALL is a charity and home to over 500 dogs and cats. It encourages the public to adopt (领养) instead of buying animals and tries to help the animals at ALL find loving families.
Tasks that the founders, Cathy and Mohan, as well as volunteers carry out to care for the animals include feeding them, taking sick animals to hospital and bringing them for checkups.
The adoption process at ALL:
STEP 1 Contact us
Learn more details about our animals for adoption, or view them on our website www.animalloversleague.com .
For dog adoptions, please WhatsApp Catheryn at 9753 3320.
For cat adoptions, please WhatsApp Mohan at 9670 8052.
STEP 2 Meet our furry kids
Get a chance to play with our furry kids, one-on-one, to find your perfect match!
All adoption visits are by appointment (预约) only. No walk-ins are allowed.
STEP 3 Homestay
We will interview you and do a home visit to ensure you are able to take care of our kids.
After that, you will go through the adoption initiation (开始) process with a 2-week homestay to see if our furry baby is able to get used to the environment of your home and if you can follow the lifestyle of having a furry kid to care for.
STEP 4 Successful adoption
You will be asked to fill in an adoption form upon the completion of this process.
We will keep in contact with you to check up on your progress.
No adoption fees are required as we do not put a price on the lives of our furry kids.
