Hi everyone, my name is Jigo
Meet Jigo, a gentle and soulful little lady who is looking for a calm, loving home where she can truly relax and feel safe. Jigo has a quiet and sensitive nature, and she thrives in peaceful environments where life moves at a slower pace. She enjoys soft company and gentle attention, often choosing to sit nearby or curl up in a cozy spot while keeping her people close.
She has a soft, affectionate side and forms lovely bonds with the people she trusts. Quiet moments, warm beds, and a predictable routine help her feel secure, and she will reward that patience with quiet companionship and gentle affection.
Because of her calm nature, Jigo would do best in a peaceful home with someone who understands that some cats just need a little extra time and kindness would suit her perfectly.
Please fill out an expression of interest if you would like to meet Jigo as she is currently off site in a foster home.

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
