Bowie

The Majestic Queen with Stunning Eyes!

Beautiful Bowie is a queen and she will have you know it!

She loves being with her humans and following them around the house, and sleeps on the human bed like the queen she is. She’s sweet, gentle, and absolutely loves a cuddle, but she will let you know if you touch her in the wrong spot with a little love bite. 

Bowie was found on the streets and has been through quite a lot in her young life! But since arriving in care, she has thrived. Her coat will grow to be beautiful and long, and will need regular maintenance to keep it looking regal. Her beautiful eyes have a tendency to leak, so will need to be wiped daily to ensure she can spend a good portion of her day watching the birds from the window.

Bowie isn’t a fan of cat toys, but she loves to chat and will definitely let you know when she wants some attention! She also loves loves her food, and feels extra special when she gets some treats. 

Bowie’s perfect home would be one where she’s the sole animal, with a family who is dedicated to spend quality time with her to feel comfortable in her new environment and respect her boundaries. She will take some time to adapt, but the rewards of endless chats and love will make it so 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).
