Pets in Crisis Program

Referrals / Suitability

- Referral forms can be found here: https://www.rspcawa.org.au/pets-in-crisis - The Program does not liaise with clients directly; a caseworker is required to submit all referral paperwork on the client's behalf as well as act as a liaison (between the client and Program) throughout the pet’s time in the Program. - For pets to be accepted into the Program, they must be sterilised, up to date with vaccinations and the client must be the legal owner. If the pets are not sterilised and/or vaccinated, this will be arranged upon entry into the Program (these costs will be covered by the Program). A microchip number is required to confirm ownership (this is typically a 10–15-digit number). If the pet is not microchipped, then a stat dec is required, declaring ownership and the pet will then be microchipped upon entry into the Program. If the pet is microchipped, but registered under a different name to the client, they cannot be accepted into the Program until the details have been updated to be in the client's name.
