Adopted

Hi everyone, my name is Binx

A gentle and affectionate long-coated tabby cat looking for a special home. This shy but sweet boy has a heart of gold and a love for food. His stunning tabby coat and soulful eyes will captivate anyone who meets him.

Binx adores cheek scratches and will nuzzle into your hand, purring contentedly as you give him the attention he craves. He also has a charming habit of meowing back when spoken to, making him an endearing conversationalist.

Binx would thrive in a quiet, patient household where he can feel safe and secure. He would be best suited to aa home with no kids. He needs a loving family willing to work with him at his own pace, building his confidence gradually. With time and understanding, Binx’ true personality will shine, revealing a devoted and loving companion.

If you have a calm home and a big heart, Binx could be the perfect addition to your family. Please fill in an expression of interest or come down to the adoption centre during our open hours!

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
