Waffles and Minty are survivors from one of the cruelest hoarding and animal abuse situations we have ever seen. They were confined to small cages in dark rooms, with rusted wire floors, no litter, and little to no food or water. There were 30 other cats in similar conditions (of which not all survived).
Is the pet shy, confident, adaptable, fearful, outgoing, laid back, independent, easily excited etc? Does it prefer to nap most of the day, or does it require regular interaction and stimulation (or in the case of a dog, daily walks)? Does the pet have have any special needs (fears, triggers, medical conditions)? How would this pet’s personality fit with the dynamic in your household and the expectations you have of your new pet?
Does the pet require an indoor or outdoor home? If indoors, what do you have in place to be sure your pet doesn’t slip out an open window or door? If an outdoor home, do you have suitable fencing and security to keep your pet safe?
What are your short and long term plans (cats and dogs can live for 20 years)? Who will look after your pet when you go on holidays? Are you planning to travel, relocate, expand your family etc?
The regulations for pet ownership differs between councils. For example, some require cats to be contained at all times, while others require only night containment. Most councils will provide this information on their website, or you can give them a quick call.
The fee for adopting a OAAT pet is generally between $200 – $450, depending on the type and age of the pet. Being a non-profit organisation this payment goes directly towards the costs associated with the pet’s pre-adoption care and vet work (foster care, vet check, de-sexing, microchipping, vaccinations, worm and flea treatments). Once you take your pet home, you will then be responsible for their ongoing care – this includes food, bedding, annual vaccinations, vet check ups, council registration, toys, training, etc. Do your finances allow for these regular expenses?
** If you can’t see your perfect match listed above, let us know the personality, age, and type of animal you are looking for by filling in an application form. We often have animals in foster care and it might be one of them is your perfect match. We’ll make sure we contact you before publishing them for adoption.
One at a Time (OAAT) rescues, rehabilitates and re-homes hundreds of animals every year. As part of this process, all animals spend time in foster care where their carer gets to know the animal’s temperament, personality, and energy levels. If you feel a bit listed might be a good fit for your lifestyle, family, future plans and finances, please apply below.
Every application will be considered, and those most suitable will be contacted for a short phone chat, followed by a meet and greet, and then a home check. We want to be sure it’s not just a match – but the perfect match!
