Adopted

Hi everyone, my name is Maggie

Hi, my name is Maggie and I am looking for a forever home who loves a smoocher.

I’m initially a little bit shy but once I feel safe, I’m a total couch potato and will be counting down the hours till I can snuggle up with my favourite humans.

I love to sniff fresh air and watch the world go by, so a secure outdoor catio enclosure would be my dream come true!

I have always lived a quiet life, so a home with gentle older children and no dogs or other felines is ideal.

As I have longer hair, I will need a home committed to brushing me regularly (because I don’t enjoy going to the groomer if I get knots…) and a dental check every 6 months would be great.

I am FIV+ and a member of staff will be happy to discuss this further with you.

If you think we could be best friends, please fill out an expression of interest and a team member will be in touch.

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
