Hi everyone, my name is Simba
Simba is a beautiful 6-year-old Maine Coon with a gentle nature and a quiet charm.
This lovely boy can be a little shy when faced with new people or unfamiliar environments, so he’ll need a patient and understanding home that can give him the time and space he needs to settle in at his own pace. Once he feels safe and comfortable, Simba’s affectionate side truly shines. He enjoys calm companionship, offering soft purrs and gentle affection to those he trusts.
Simba has previously lived with another cat, so he may do well in a home with a calm, respectful feline companion, given a proper introduction.
He would be best suited to a quiet household without young children due to his shy nature.
If you’re looking for a sweet, gentle cat who just needs a bit of time to bloom, Simba could be the perfect addition to 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
