Hi everyone, my name is Gracie
Gracie is a beautiful senior kitty with a calm presence and an independent spirit. She’s not one to demand constant attention, but she enjoys quiet companionship on her terms. What she truly needs is a home that’s calm, predictable, and free of chaos—a place where she can feel completely safe and understood.
Gracie would do best with someone who has experience with cats and understands feline body language. She can get overstimulated with too much handling and might give a quick swat to let you know she needs space.
Gracie is not suited to homes with children or other animals. She wants to be your one and only, and she’ll thrive with a quiet, patient person who isn’t looking for a lap cat, but rather a companion who’s content to be nearby, observing the world with you.
She may take time to settle in, but for the right person, Gracie will be a loyal and quietly affectionate friend. She’s ready to enjoy her golden years in a home where she can fully relax and be herself.
If you’re someone who believes in earning trust rather than expecting instant affection, Gracie just might be your perfect match. Please fill out an expression of interest or come down to the adoption centre to meet her!

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
