Community & Welfare
beyond the clinic. keeping the pact.
Veterinary care is at the heart of what we do — but our responsibility extends further. We believe in a healthier, more compassionate Abu Dhabi for every animal, whether they have a home or not. Here is how we show up for the wider community.
Pet Adoption
every pet deserves a home.
Abu Dhabi is home to thousands of cats and dogs in need of loving families. Pawspact is not an adoption centre — but we are proud to support the rehoming of pets through our partnership with Refqan, one of the UAE's leading animal adoption platforms.
Whether you are looking to adopt a cat, a dog, or any other companion animal, Refqan connects you with rescue organisations and individuals across the UAE. Once you find your match, our team at Pawspact is here to provide the first health check, vaccinations, and everything your new family member needs to settle in.
If you have found a stray or need guidance before adopting, contact us and we will point you in the right direction.

Learn about iCatCarePet Travel
moving abroad with your pet?
International pet relocation is one of the most stressful experiences a pet owner can face. Paperwork, titre tests, airline approvals, import permits — the requirements vary by country and change frequently. Getting it wrong can mean your pet is turned away at the border.
Pawspact works alongside RelocateMyPet, a specialist pet travel service based in the UAE. We handle the veterinary side — health certificates, vaccinations, microchipping, and MOCCAE documentation — while RelocateMyPet manages the logistics, airline coordination, and destination requirements. Together, we make sure your pet arrives safely, wherever you are going.
