Finding The Perfect Pet

Over 1000 animals rehomed since 2019

Cyrus

Cyrus has a bit of a cranky looking face, but actually has the softest of hearts. He loves being brushed, loves his food, and head bumps you for pats.
 
Before coming into care, he was fending for himself on the streets – which is a tough life for any cat.  But, his ‘war wounds’ have now healed and he’s relieved to be in care where he gets endless food, love, and a comfy bed. The next step is to find him a forever home.
 
Cyrus is FIV positive, meaning he has a weaker immune system than a regular cat and would need to be the only cat in his home.  But he is not sick and this condition does not get in the way of him enjoying life.  He really is a sweet boy.

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?
