Hi everyone, my name is Aspen
Soft as a whisper and sweet as autumn air, Aspen is a stunning young ginger girl with a tender soul. At just 8 months old, she’s still learning to trust the world – and she’s hoping to find someone patient and kind to guide her.
Aspen is timid at first, but with time and gentle affection, she begins to blossom. She accepts pets and will quietly enjoy your company once she feels safe. She’s not one for loud noises or busy households — Aspen is looking for a calm, peaceful home where she can relax and grow at her own pace.
Because of her sensitive nature, Aspen would do best in a home without young children or other animals. She needs a space where she can feel secure and loved — on her terms, in her own time.
If you believe in quiet companionship and the joy of earning a shy cat’s trust, Aspen is ready to warm your heart. Please fill out an expression of interest or come down to the adoption centre to meet her!

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
