Finding The Perfect Pet

Over 1000 animals rehomed since 2019

Precious

Precious is 8 years old and was abandoned by her previous owner and found in a factory estate confused and searching for love. She has settled well with her foster family and now rules the household rubbing up on any leg she can find and loving as much attention as she can get. Precious is a very content girl who is quite happy to spend her days laying around on a bed staring out the window dreaming of her new family. She isn’t overly playful which is one of the many bonus’ of adopting a mature cat she won’t tear your house up or require any training. She is no fuss and very easy going.
 
She did go on trial with a wonderful family but unfortunately just didn’t get along with their senior cat or dog. They very reluctantly had to make the decision to bring her back. For this reason she is to be an only cat.
 
If you think that you can offer this special girl a loving home and a cosy bed to spend her days we would love to hear from you.

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).
