Finley

Finley is a shy but incredibly loving and gentle feline with eyes that could make the ocean jealous! His striking green-blue eyes are a true standout, capturing the attention and affection of everyone who meets him. Finley‘s journey has been one of quiet resilience and blooming trust, and he is now ready to grace a new home with his gentle, affectionate nature.
 
Finley may initially seem reserved, but given time in a peaceful and patient environment, he blossoms into a loving companion. Since coming into foster care, he’s flourished and learned to appreciate the warmth and care offered by his human friends. His foster carer has seen Finley‘s charming personality unfold and is confident that, with a little patience, he will show you his full loving and affectionate side, just as he has with them.
 
Finley is also a social butterfly at heart, particularly when it comes to feline company. Having originally come from a home with many cats, he thrives on companionship and would do best in a home with an existing friendly cat or with his friend Theo. This buddy system has helped him adjust and feel secure, making it essential for his continued happiness.
 
A true foodie, Finley is always excited when meal times roll around. But most importantly, he needs a quiet, mature home where he can feel safe and cherished. His ideal family would be one that understands the value of patience and offers the gentle, calm atmosphere he needs.
 
If you have a peaceful home and a friendly cat looking for a loving companion, Finley could be your perfect match. He’s ready to bring his unique blend of shyness and affection to a new family, and in return, he’ll offer a lifetime of love and those enchanting ocean eyes gazing up at 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).
