Questions

What people ask before adopting

  • They are mostly rescued by our team, abandoned, or orphaned.
  • We operate from 2 pm to 5 pm, Monday to Saturday. You can visit within that time, or take a prior appointment by email for a Sunday.
  • We use an interview process, to make sure each animal is matched with a compatible new owner. After approval from our manager, you fill in an adoption form.
  • Allow one to two hours to complete it. It may take longer depending on how many pets you would like to meet.
  • We are sorry, but we do not keep any pet on hold.
  • Both you and your new pet will need time to get acquainted and adjust. Some settle quickly; others need more time and help. If it has not worked out after several tries, talk to the concerned person at Jivdaya.
  • It takes time for a pet to adjust to a new environment. If it gets sick you can bring it to the centre for a check-up. Jivdaya does not charge anything for treatment.
  • Adoption at Jivdaya is absolutely free. Our only motive is to help animals find a permanent home and a loving family.
