Hi everyone, my name is Marley
Marley is an active, playful girl with a big personality and a love for fun. She adores toys and is a rough-and-tumble player, especially when it comes to soft toys she can kick and wrestle with. Her cardboard cat scratcher is a firm favourite, and she’s always happy to zoom around the house enjoying her space. Instead of meowing, Marley communicates with adorable little chirping sounds that add to her unique charm.
Marley enjoys smooching and weaving around people’s legs and is especially fond of gentle face rubs. She prefers affection on her own terms and is best suited to a home with older teenagers rather than children where her boundaries will be understood and respected. While she’s not a lap cat, she loves being close to her people and will happily settle nearby, making her a wonderful companion for the right home.
If you think Marley could be the perfect match for you, please fill out an expression of interest!

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
