Finding The Perfect Pet

Over 1000 animals rehomed since 2019

Allistair

Sensitive Handsome Man

Allistair is a sensitive boy who would instantly settle into a home with unconditional love and respect.

He originally came into our care years ago, after being found fending for himself in swamp land. He was scared, hungry and skinny!

After spending some time in care with OAAT, he was rehabilitated back to full health. He was fortunate to be adopted by the most beautiful person, who loved on him and let him know everyday how special he was.

His confidence grew in leaps and bounds!

Unfortunately, earlier this year, his person Lyn passed away. 

Allistair is now back in our care and again searching for his forever home.

He is an adaptable boy and once he trusts you, he’s a smoocher and full of gratitude.

He loves belly rubs and being brushed, and will come and plonk himself on the ground right next to you with his purr motor on.

He must be able to live indoors, and be the only animal in his forever home.

Tips for Finding the Perfect Match

Cats and Dogs can live up to 20 years, so it’s really important that you select a pet that is going to fit with your personality, household dynamics, and future plans. 

Lifestyle Compatability

Are you looking for a pet that is full of energy and playful? Or would you prefer a pet that is content to hang with you around the house all day, and nap on your lap while you watch TV or read a book?

Would you have the time and calm environment needed to nurture a shy, or fearful pet and help build back their confidence and zest for life? Or, would you prefer a pet that is outgoing or independent and that would slot perfectly into a busy home? It’s also important to consider the personality and temperament of any existing pets. How will they respond to a new addition to the family, and how will you manage the integration?

Housing and Council Regulations

The regulations for pet ownership differ between councils, this includes the requirement for registration, curfews for cats, and on/off leash walking for dogs. These are often easily found on each council website.

if you are renting, it’s vital that you consult with your landlord and secure their permission before applying for adoption.

Costs associated with owning a pet

All OAAT pets are vaccinated, desexed and microchipped prior to adoption.   They will also be up to date with all worming and flea treatments.  This is all covered in the adoption fees (which generally range from $200 – $900 depending on the type and age of the animal).

Cats and Dogs can live up to 20 years.  This is 20 years of feeding, vet care, council registration, toys, training, etc.  Does this fit with your budget and finances? How would you manage unexpected medical expenses if your animal was to become ill?
