Finding The Perfect Pet

Over 1000 animals rehomed since 2019

Simba

Simba Hi, I’m Simba! I’m about 7 months old and I’ve lived in lots of different places already so I’m hoping someone might want to keep me as part of their family forever.
I’m a super relaxed, active, happy kitten. I have a beautiful coat and the fluffiest tail and I get along with both dogs and cats! I don’t really notice other animals’ boundaries though so if there are other fur family members in my new home I’ll need them to accept how much energy I have.
I’ve made a list of my likes and dislikes for you so you can make sure you can do everything I’d like you to do when I come to your home.
Likes:
– Playing with my chicken toy
– Playing with other toys
– Playing with things that are not toys
– Eating
– Cuddling with my foster family
Dislikes:
– When my foster mum says “That’s not a toy Simba”
– When my foster mum doesn’t feed me immediately after I tell her to
– When my foster mum has to separate me from the food preparation area because I’m a bit too involved in helping
I hope my forever family will see this and apply to adopt me. I am microchipped, vaccinated, and desexed

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?
