Finding The Perfect Pet

Over 1000 animals rehomed since 2019

Gypsie

Gypsie is a sweet young mum.

She was found on the streets, heavily pregnant and about to give birth. Thankfully, we got to her in time and she was able to give birth in her warm, safe foster home.

Gypsie has shown to be an amazing mum, who protects her babies.

It’s taken her a while to allow her humans near her, but with time and patience she now allows her foster mum to pat her, and she can’t help but like it!

She’s not keen on being picked up, and her forever family will need to respect this boundary.

Gypsie deserves to find a loving home, where she can feel safe and loved continually.

She’d be best suited to a one cat household, and she is not suited to a home with dogs.

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?
