Hi everyone, my name is Aiko
Aiko is a shy, sweet little girl who takes a little time to warm up, but once she does, she’s full of charm and affection. She loves quiet spaces where she can observe the world at her own pace, and with gentle encouragement, she’ll show her playful side and soft purrs.
This sensitive little lady is looking for a calm, patient home where she can feel safe and slowly build her confidence. With the right family, Aiko will blossom into a loving companion who adores gentle cuddles and the quiet comfort of being near her favourite people.
If you’re looking for a special kitten who will reward your patience with trust, love, and quiet companionship, Aiko could be the perfect match for you.
No need to fill out an expression of interest form, please just come down to the Adoption Centre during opening hours to meet Aiko and her friends!
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
