Hi everyone, my name is Bobby

Hi, I’m Bobby.

I recently found myself at Lort Smith after my elderly owner passed away. I had been with my owner since I was a kitten so this big change in lifestyle at my age has been very sad.

I would make a wonderful companion for someone who lives a relaxed lifestyle and just wants to give and receive lots of love. I’m a no fuss kinda guy who loves to laze about and just likes to be in your presence.
I’m a real foodie and will swirl around your legs when I think you’re giving me food or a pat.
I do enjoy soaking up some sunshine on a nice day so a safe and supervised trip into the garden with you would be wonderful or an outdoor secure cat enclosure would be great.

If you have lots of love to give a sweet soul like me, please fill in an expression of interest form or call our Adoption Centre on 9287 6426.

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
