Larry

Meet Larry, a silky black feline with a gentle soul, looking for a calm and mature household to call his own. At first glance, Larry may appear shy, but beneath that initial reserve is a loving and affectionate cat just waiting for the right person to bring out the best in him.

Larry enjoys a good play session with his toys, letting his playful side shine through in the safety of familiar surroundings. His silky black fur is a joy to pat, and once he’s comfortable with you, you’ll be rewarded with one of the loudest purrs you’ve ever heard. Larrys loyalty and companionship make every moment of patience well worth it.

Larry would thrive in a quiet home where he can build bonds with his people and settle in his new environment. Once settled, he will make an amazing companion, always ready to offer his lap-seeking affection and comforting presence.

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).
