Hi everyone, my name is Opi
Meet Opi, a handsome adult black cat with a gentle soul and a heart full of love. With his sleek fur and soulful eyes, Opi is the kind of companion who doesn’t need to say much—his presence alone brings a quiet warmth to any home.
Opi is currently on a weight loss journey, working his way toward a healthier lifestyle one slow stretch at a time. He’s not one for dramatic leaps or wild zoomies, but he excels in the art of lounging and appreciates the finer things in life—like a soft bed, a sunbeam, and someone who knows just how to scratch behind his ears.
He absolutely adores human affection and will gladly nudge your hand for pats, especially when you find his favorite spots. Those gentle behind-the-ear scratches? That’s his love language. He bonds deeply with his people and thrives in a calm, quiet environment where he can feel safe and adored.
Opi is not a fan of other animals and would prefer to be the only pet in the home. He’s not trying to be difficult—he just knows he deserves your undivided attention. And honestly, once you meet him, you’ll probably agree.
If you’re looking for a devoted, affectionate companion who just wants to be loved and to share quiet moments with you, Opi may be your perfect match. He’s ready for his forever home—and he’s hoping it’s with 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
