Adopted

Hi everyone, my name is Emelia

Emelia is truly a gem, with a personality as warm and inviting as a sunny day. This sweet girl has captured the hearts of everyone at Lort Smith with her affectionate nature and unique quirks. Her favorite pastime? Flopping on her back with her head upside down, reaching out for a belly rub or a gentle scratch every chance she gets.

Emelia does well with older kids, and her gentle, playful demeanor makes her a perfect match for families. She’ll happily twirl around your legs, offering endless affection and always looking to be close to her favorite people. Her love for human companionship is boundless, and she’s never shy about letting you know when she wants a cuddle!

Emelia also has a soft spot for the outdoors. She adores basking in the sunshine, feeling the breeze tickling her whiskers. A home with a secure, cozy outdoor area where she can safely soak up some sun would be her little piece of heaven.

If you’re looking for a loyal, loving companion who will brighten every day with her warmth and charm, Emelia is your girl. She’s waiting patiently for her forever family and is ready to fill your home with love and joy.

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
