Hi everyone, my name is Boy
I’m a handsome senior gentleman looking for a loving forever home to spend my golden years.
I’m a distinguished older boy who enjoys the finer things in life, including a good brush and some time to relax in my own space.
I’d prefer a home without small children, as I appreciate a calm environment where my boundaries are respected. I also need to be the only animal in the household, so I can enjoy having my space all to myself.
I’ll tolerate handling to a point, but I do like to let you know when I’ve had enough. I’m hoping to find someone who understands that us senior gentlemen know what we like and appreciate a little patience and understanding.
If you’re looking for a handsome older companion to share your home with, could I be the boy for you? I’d love the chance to find a special person who will give me the comfort, care and love I deserve in my golden years.

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
