Pumpkin

There’s alot of Pumpkin to love – she’s a big girl at 6.5kg!! 
She is approx. 3 years old, is super sweet and affectionate  and loves nothing more than laying on the couch and getting pats and cuddles. The moment she sees you she will be turn on her loud purr and brush up against your legs for pats.
 
Pumpkin came into care after being hit by a car and was surrendered to the vet with a broken jaw. One at a Time Pet Rescue stepped in to help, because we couldn’t let this be the end for this beautiful girl.
 
Pumpkin had surgery for her broken jaw and has now healed beautifully.  Now all she needs is her own family, and she gets on well with anyone; kids of alll ages, well behaved dogs, and easy going cats. 
 
Due to her size she is a bit slower then other cats at jumping so she most definitely needs to be an indoor only cat.

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?
