Dolly

Hello there, I’m Dolly, a shy yet charming feline who’s gradually embracing the world around me. While I may be a bit reserved at first, I’m growing more confident each day and have some wonderful qualities to offer my purrfect match! 
 I take pleasure in spending my days lounging near the screen doors, basking in the warm morning sunlight. In the afternoons, you’ll find me stretched out enjoying the gentle caress of the sun’s rays. I’m a connoisseur of sunbathing and revel in the feeling of a cool breeze on my face. You could say I’m the ultimate indoor lady of leisure! 
Solo play is one of my favourite activities, and I’m particularly active during the evening hours. While I’m not quite brave enough to engage in play with my human just yet, we still give it a try from time to time. I do love other cats and enjoy their company.
Although cuddles and pats are still a little intimidating for me, I’ve come to adore eating treats from my human’s hand. The crochet wand on a stick that Mum uses to scratch me is absolutely heavenly! I’m slowly learning to appreciate human affection on my terms. 
I’m hoping to find a home with someone who understands and respects my boundaries, allowing me to lead my best life. A calm and patient environment would suit me best, so a household without very young children or dogs would be ideal. While I might be okay with other cats, I am quite timid and would need a slow introduction. 
If you’re seeking an independent lady who appreciates her personal space, I might just be the perfect match for you! Get in touch if you’re interested in giving me a loving home where I can continue to blossom and become the best version of myself. Call me yours, and let’s embark on this beautiful journey together!

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).
