Hi everyone, my name is Gus
Gus is a true character! This chatty kitty has a lot to say and isn’t shy about letting you know what’s on his mind—whether it’s asking for attention, food, or just sharing his daily observations. While Gizmo is a bit shy around new visitors and might need some time to warm up, once he’s comfortable, he’s a loving and affectionate companion.
Gus particularly loves playing with anything attached to a stick! Wand toys are his absolute favorite—he could chase and bat at them for hours. Anything that rolls? Forget about it—he’ll be right there to pounce and play!
He is also a noted couch potato and knows the importance of a good recharge for solid playtime.
Gus is looking for a family who can appreciate his sensitive yet playful nature. If you love a talkative companion who enjoys both snuggling and playing, Gus could be the perfect fit for you!

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
