Hi everyone, my name is Nelson

Nelson is a confident, affectionate, and handsome gentleman who’s guaranteed to brighten your day.

He’s got a big personality packed into his sleek, striped coat, with a unique flair for making every day a little more exciting. Whether it’s watching you use a hairdryer, running up and down the hallways chasing ping pong balls, or “helping” you with your daily chores, Nelson’s presence is sure to fill your home with laughter and joy.

He could go to a home with a cat friendly dog, but other cats? He says “No, thank you!”

He is confident and adventurous and would do well with a secure catio to sniff the neighbourhood on the breeze and is quite content with his own company through out the day.

Nelson is also FIV+ (Feline Immunodeficiency Virus positive), but don’t worry he can still live a long, happy, and healthy life just like any other cat!

Come down to the adoption center to meet this sweet boy!

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
