Benjamin

This most adorable boy is about 6 months old. He is affectionate, and smoochy. It’s been so hard to get photos of him, because as soon as you stand in front of him he runs to see if you need a cuddle!
 
He likes to be with his people. He’s happy to snuggle on the couch and likes to sleep in your bedroom with you. He does not like to be excluded. He is just the most gentle boy.
 
We have just found out though that he has an issue with one of his legs that his new family will need to be aware of. While he is still young he will only need monitoring. But as he grows and gets bigger it’s possible he may need surgery to maintain his quality of life. This can be discussed in detail before adoption.
 
We are looking for an indoor only home for Benjamin.  He is currently living with other cats and gentle dogs in foster care.

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?
