Hi everyone, my name is Elm
Elm is a friendly, affectionate ginger kitten with a big personality and an even bigger heart. She’s full of playful energy, always ready to chase a feather toy, pounce on a rolling ball, or explore every corner of her world. When playtime’s over, Elm transforms into a snuggly lap cat who loves nothing more than curling up beside you for a cozy nap.
This sweet girl adores people and will happily follow you around the house, purring and looking for attention. She gets along well with gentle companions and would thrive in a home where she can be part of the family’s daily life. With her sunny disposition and warm orange coat, Elm is sure to bring plenty of joy and laughter to her new home.
If you’re looking for a kitten who’s both affectionate and full of fun, Elm is ready to meet you! Please come down to the Adoption Centre to meet her, no need to fill out an expression of interest form!
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
