Hi everyone, my name is Beau
At home, Beau is an easygoing presence who spends much of his day snoozing, happily conserving his energy. He doesn’t need a lot of stimulation to be content, though he does enjoy a short daily play session – particularly with a wand toy! His favourite pastimes are cuddling up with his people in bed and taking cat-naps.
Beau would thrive in a calm, low-key household where things are predictable and peaceful. He is not very vocal, has lovely manners with his litter tray, and would be well suited to apartment living or a smaller home.
Beau is positive for FIV, but don’t let this worry you, click the link to learn more about it! Feline Immunodeficiency Virus (FIV) Lort Smith Animal Hospital
He has shown curiosity toward cats seen through the window, so he could potentially coexist with another calm FIV+ friend, given careful introductions.
Beau is currently in foster care. Please fill out an expression of interest form if you’d like to meet this gentle soul and see if he could be the perfect match for your home.

Adopting an animal
Adopting an animal is a rewarding experience that will last a lifetime. But before you adopt a pet please take some time to consider the commitment you are about to make. Sometimes the excitement of pet ownership can overshadow factors that should be considered before adoption.
Adopting a shelter pet is a lifelong decision that will have a major impact to your normal, everyday life. Please remember that a cat or dog can live for up to 20 years and they will rely only on you for their wellbeing for their entire life.
- Do I have time to exercise the dog every day?
- Do I have time for puppy pre-school and time to socialise a puppy?
- Do I have at least an hour every day to spend with my cat?
- Do I have time for obedience training?
- If renting, does the landlord permit pets?
- Is the backyard big enough and is the fencing secure?
- Does the whole family want a pet?
- Will the pet be allowed inside?
- Will I have to move interstate or overseas in the foreseeable future?
- Will I have to move to another rental property where the landlord may not allow pets.
Pets are a lifelong monetary commitment, you will need to factor in:
- Weekly animal food bills and necessities
- Yearly council registration
- Monthly medications like heart worm/intestinal worm and flea treatments
- Annual vet visits for vaccinations and check ups
- Unexpected vet bills due to accidents or medical conditions
- Ongoing grooming
- Boarding fees for human holidays
- Enrichment like training, toys etc
