Finding The Perfect Pet

Over 1000 animals rehomed since 2019

Fergus (Amber’s Babies)

​Fergus is full of fun and is either zooming around​ and chasing toys and his siblings – or, he’s fast asleep. He’s doesn’t like to get out of bed unless he’s clocked his full nap hours.  ​His litter mates love him, and cuddle up to him.

Fergus, along with his siblings Muki, Jemima, Teddie and Meeka (same litter) were born whilst in foster care so have only ever known love, a warm bed, and an overload of nurturing. Their mumma cat, Amber, has the most beautiful nature and is honestly the smoochiest cat you will ever meet!  Priority will be given to those interested in adopting Amber with one of her babies.

Amber (Fergus' mumma)

Amber  is a one of a kind! Her foster family say she is the gentlest and most loving cat they have ever known. She’s only a young cat herself (under 2), amd is happy to be picked up, cuddled, patted and is keen to play. She’s just so super chilled. It would be such a success story if Amber could be adopted with one of her beautiful babies.

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).
