Birdie

Birdie, also known as Mumma, is a sweet young girl with love to give.

She is shy and still learning that it’s ok to be loved by humans. She loves head scratches as long as you don’t come in too quickly.

She loves to chatter with you and purr away, loves to play with toys and also sit and observe her surroundings.

Mumma is not a fan of being picked up or held, but she will happily sit beside you while you pat her or curl up next to you to sleep.

She needs a QUIET home with no children, would be more suited to a single person or an older couple/person. She would make the perfect companion cat.

Her adopter will need to have patience as she takes a little time to warm up, but she is well worth it!

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).
