Sydney

Syd has not had it easy in life. At 12 years old, she needs a home to live out the rest of her days in comfort and happiness.
 
Syd loves other cats and enjoys playing with the her foster siblings. Due to her past Syd is still quite skeptical of humans and any patting or physical touch needs to be entirely on her terms. She is sweet and affectionate but cannot yet trust that you may not change your mind about being kind to her. She will not tolerate being picked up. She likes routine and consistency and enjoys her own space. For these reasons she will need to go to a quiet, adult only home with other relaxed cats for siblings.
 
Sydney has a medical condition with her left eye that she will have for life. At this stage it does not bother her at all however it may require ongoing treatment in the future.
 
Sydney is very sweet and shy and just needs a family who can understand her needs and give her the affection and love she has always deserved.

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).
