Finding The Perfect Pet

Over 1000 animals rehomed since 2019

Bruce and Gus

Bruce & Gus were adopted as kittens from One at a Time Pet Rescue in December 2020. We try so hard to find the very best of homes for our kittys and this time something went wrong ! Very wrong! They ended up at the pound. A rescues nightmare! We immediately put our names on them to get them back ! We feel responsible to get it right. To do better. They are back with their original foster mum and have settled back in like the last 7 months didn’t happen.♥️ they are as loving and affectionate as they were when babies. Bruce is confident around us both & the dogs, happily curl up with them, loves pats & playful , Gus not as out going as Bruce but still really chilled , likes being held & getting lots of pats. We would like to see the boys stay together if possible and ensure we get it right this time!!! A true forever home.

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).

if you are renting, it’s vital that you consult with your landlord and secure their permission before applying for adoption.

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?
