At Pets Palace, we don’t just think of ourselves as a supplier of high
quality pet products, but mainly as pet lovers. This is one
of the reasons why, since the opening of the store (over two years ago), we’ve
been strongly against selling live animals for a profit. We feel that having
cute pets in your shop can encourage impulsive purchase of pets and increase
the chance of the pets to be abandoned in the long term. The choice of getting
a pet is a decision that has to be taken seriously, discussed with all family
members and thought through.
A massive number of pets are still being abandoned, and the fact that shelters
are often very near overcapacity is a huge issue. This is why Pets Palace
recently decided to work in collaboration with Sydney Dogs and Cats Home to
help abandoned pets to find a new home.
Sydney Dogs and Cats Home association has worked really hard since 1946
to “prevent unnecessary euthanasia of healthy, loving pets” and “find them new
homes which will last a lifetime”. The association welcome up to 4,000 cats and
dogs each year. Check out their Facebook
page if you would like to know more about
Sydney Dogs & Cats Home.
So what is the role of Pets Palace in all
of this? Pets Palace aims to help Sydney Dogs & Cats Home by welcoming abandoned
kittens and cats in the shop and facilitate their rehoming. We currently have
kittens in the store, they have been desexed, vaccinated, vet checked and micro
chipped and now just need a loving home.
To conclude with a little extra note, if
