Kelsey

Kelsey is only 2-3 years young. She will instantly steal your heart with her beautiful unbroken spirit and willingness to love!!  Her foster family have nicknamed her ‘shadow’ because she literally follows them everywhere.  It was almost impossible to get a good photo because she sees her humans and immediately starts smooching for scratches and love. 
 
She is wonderful with kids, craving their attention, purring and nudging for pats. She hasn’t had a positive experience with dogs in the past but is beginning to tolerate the dog in her foster home, so a home with a respectful and well behaved dog might also be fine. 
 
A meet and greet and smooch with this girl is an absolute must!! She has a lifetime of love to give.

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).
