Hi everyone, my name is Bellatrix
Bellatrix is a quiet, observant cat with a gentle spirit and a heart full of potential. Naturally shy, she tends to take her time getting to know new people and places, but with patience and understanding, she reveals a soft, affectionate side that’s deeply rewarding to witness.
She’s not the type to seek the spotlight, instead, Bellatrix prefers to watch the world from a safe perch, taking everything in with her thoughtful gaze. A calm, predictable home will help her feel secure, ideally one without too much noise or hustle, where she can settle in at her own pace and build trust on her terms.
Once she feels safe, Bellatrix enjoys quiet company and a gentle pat, especially if it’s followed by a tasty treat.
If you have a peaceful space and a kind heart, Bellatrix could be the perfect companion—she’s just waiting for someone to see the beauty in her quiet nature and offer her the love and patience she needs to truly shine.

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
