Adopted

Hi everyone, my name is Joyce

Joyce is a gentle & affectionate little lady who’s ready to settle into a loving home. Once she’s had a couple of days to suss things out, she transforms into a purring, biscuit-making, snuggle-seeking sweetheart.

She’s a pro napper (preferably in sunbeams), loves loafing on the couch, and will happily snooze by your feet—or under the doona—at night. She’s curious and playful, with a soft spot for cupboard exploring, squeaky meows, and drinking water from the sink.

Joyce is easygoing with her routine, enjoys wet food and creamy treats, and is perfectly litter trained. She thrives on regular human company, short play sessions, and plenty of affection.

A quiet home with adults and potentially older children would be best for Joyce—somewhere she can relax, be loved, and enjoy the good life at her own pace.

If you’re looking for a loyal, quirky companion with a soft purr and an even softer heart—Joyce is ready to meet 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
