Hi everyone, my name is Birdie
Birdie is a sensitive girl who is still learning to feel safe in her new chapter in life. She is currently quite timid, but with patience, time, and a calm environment, her old playful personality should return. She needs adopters who can offer her understanding, gentle reassurance, and the space she needs to grow in confidence at her own pace.
She enjoys exploring, engaging with toys, and showing glimpses of her curious nature. With the right home, she has the potential to blossom into a loving and spirited companion.
If you’re looking to make a meaningful difference in the life of a shy but deserving cat, Birdie could be the perfect match. She just needs someone willing to give her the time and support she needs to feel safe enough to flourish.

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
