Hi everyone, my name is Dawny
Dawny is a sweet and affectionate kitty who may start off a little shy, but once she warms up, she’s a delightful ball of energy and love. This playful girl is full of zest and will keep you entertained with her antics. She’s as active as she is cuddly, so she’ll love a home where she can play and then settle down in a cozy lap to snuggle.
Dawny adores being around her humans and has a unique way of showing her love—she’s big on giving gentle licks and grooming sessions to her favorite people! If you’re looking for a cat who’ll be your loyal shadow, Dawny is the perfect companion. Whether she’s exploring her surroundings or curled up close to you, Dawny is ready to make someone’s life brighter with her loving personality.
Please fill out an expression of interest or come by the adoption centre during our open hours to meet this lovely lady!
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
