Finding The Perfect Pet

Tiffany

Tiffany is an incredibly gentle cat and is looking for a slow paced and quiet home.
When she arrived in foster care Tiffany was skinny and matted – but, that’s all changed.  Her coat is now white and lush, and she absolutely loves being brushed.  She’s an incredibly gentle cat and would thrive in a quiet and slow paced home. She greets her foster carers for breakfast every morning, brushing up against their legs for attention, and oozes with gratitude when she’s being patted. And, yes, those coloured pieces of string are her favourite toy and she’ll play with them for hours!
 
She doesn’t seem too bothered by dogs, but really doesn’t like other cats. So, she would need to be an only cat. Tiffany is 5 years old and has been fully vaccinated, desexed and microchipped.

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).
