Hi everyone, my name is Billy
Billy is a charming 2-year-old tuxedo boy with a sweet and affectionate nature that’s sure to win you over. Friendly and people-oriented, he loves attention and will happily soak up pats, cuddles, and companionship.
Billy has experience living with both cats and dogs, and while he can coexist with other cats, he’s shown a clear preference for canine company—so he may thrive in a home with a friendly dog to keep him company. He has also lived with children before, making him a great option for a family environment.
With his loving personality and adaptable nature, Billy is ready to fit right into a home where he can be part of the action and share in daily life.
If you’re looking for a gentle, affectionate companion who gets along well with both humans and dogs, Billy could be your perfect match.

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
