Hi everyone, my name is Ginger
Don’t let his grumpy expression fool you, this handsome senior boy has earned the right to have opinions, and he’s not afraid to share them!
As a mature gentleman, Ginger prefers a peaceful home where he can enjoy the finer things in life: sunny windowsills, comfy beds, and, most importantly… food. If treats are involved, you’ll quickly become one of his favorite people. Mealtime is undoubtedly the highlight of his day, and he’s always happy to remind you when it’s time for a snack.
Ginger gent would be happiest in a calm home with people who appreciate his quirky personality and respect his boundaries. In return, you’ll gain a loyal companion with plenty of character, a healthy appetite, and a face that’s impossible not to love.

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
