Finding The Perfect Pet

Over 1000 animals rehomed since 2019

Bruno (11 months)

This boy is an absolute ripper! He came to us as a confused, sad and troubled cat, but is now a super smooch machine!! He will be very shy on first meeting, and is still very nervous and confused by the world. But once you have earned his trust, he is an absolute love bug! He is learning that indoors is safe and food is plentiful and soft beds are actually pretty nice.

His light colouring and nervous nature mean that he will absolutely need to be an indoor only boy. But you won’t hear any complaints from him! He is still very young at 11 months old and he will continue to fill out and get stronger. He is not suited to young children or elderly.

Currently in foster care with other cats and respectful dogs, we feel he would be best suited to a quieter home where he is the only pet, or with another pet who is very laid back and not likely to challenge him. Someone home more often than not, as he really does seek out the company of his people. He is still learning what toys are, but does like to play… he needs someone who can continue to develop his confidence, and dote on him. He will benefit from consistency and routine, as he likes to know what to expect each day.

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?
