Hi everyone, my name is Bob
Bob is a shy but wonderfully gentle boy who finds the big wide world just a little bit scary. He’s the kind of cat who blossoms slowly, but beautifully, when given patience, kindness, and a calm environment. If you have a quieter home and a soft spot for sensitive souls, Bob may be the perfect match.
At first, Bob prefers to observe from a safe spot, taking his time to understand that he’s truly safe. But once he trusts you—oh, what a sweetheart he becomes! Bob is affectionate, enjoys gentle moments with his humans, and even loves a bit of play when he’s feeling brave. His confidence grows day by day, and it’s a joy to watch.
One of Bob’s adorable quirks? He knows his name and will trot over when you call him!
Bob would thrive in a peaceful, patient home where he can take life at his own pace. He doesn’t mind sharing a home with another cat. In return, he’ll offer companionship, soft affection, and the quiet joy of watching a timid heart unfurl.
If you’re looking for a loyal little friend who will reward your kindness with love and gentle charm, Bob is waiting to meet you.

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
