Hi everyone, my name is Cortez
Soft as a cloud and just as peaceful, Cortez is a beautiful white cat with a quiet, gentle nature. He may be a little shy at first, but give him some time and patience, and you’ll discover a sweet, loyal companion who just wants a calm place to feel safe and loved.
Once he warms up, Cortez enjoys soft pets, cozy naps by the window, and being near his favorite people. He doesn’t demand attention—but he appreciates kindness, gentle voices, and the comfort of a peaceful home.
If you’re looking for a calm, low-key companion with a heart of gold and a snow-white coat, Cortez may be your perfect match.
Please fill out an expression of interest to meet him as he is in foster care.

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
