Finding The Perfect Pet

Over 1000 animals rehomed since 2019

Tory

Tory is a beautiful girl who was previously living in a factory before coming to the rescue. She was well-loved, but her previous owners wanted to make sure she would be safe from other cats and trucks, so she now lives with us.

Tory loves people and is always following them around, especially in the morning or when they come home from work. She loves to rub her face on yours no matter who it is, and if you’re on the couch she’ll lay on top of you or sit as close as possible. Tory loves being around her whole foster family, although she does have a favourite person!

She’s been good with most of the other cats in her foster home (although not particularly playful) and can tolerate dogs that are laid back and mind their own business.

She can be a bit picky when it comes to dinner time, we’ve found that chicken is definitely her favourite – especially roast chook!

Although she doesn’t love being picked up, if you’re near the bench and she’s there, she’ll meow for cuddles and jump right up.

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).
