The Enigma of the Ginger

Charming, Easy Going, Curious...

DID YOU KNOW?
> 80% of Ginger cats are males
> Ginger cats sometimes develop freckles on their nose or mouth

Ginger cats, also known as orange or marmalade cats, have a reputation for being all round friendly guys.  And we say ‘guys’ because the majority are male!

Their colours range from a light apricot to a deep orange, and some can even have the signature tabby “M” colouring on their foreheads. But, it is their personalities that make ‘Gingers’ so special. 

They are known to be

  • Affectionate
  • Social
  • People orientated
  • Gentle and loving
  • Easy going
  • Energetic and playful
  • Naturally curious explorers
  • Adventurous (they have no boundaries!!)
  • Confident and bold

Their adventurous spirit means they can sometimes get into mischief, but they are also known to be incredibly easy going around other animals and humans.  They are tolerant and just don’t seem to be too bothered my much.  This makes them just such a great pet for busy households with children or other pets.

The ginger enigma is real!  They are going to charm you and capture your heart before you know it.

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).
