Patty & Selma - Lort Smith Melbourne Animal Hospital

Hi everyone, my name is Patty & Selma

Patty and Selma are an adorable bonded duo who do everything together — from munching snacks and lounging in the sun to cuddling up for a nap. These besties are inseparable and ready to hop into their forever home as a package deal.

They’re tidy girls with great house manners and are fully litter trained, making them perfect indoor companions. They’d love an indoor setup with space to stretch, explore, and enjoy some supervised free-range time.

Patty and Selma enjoy gentle pats and hanging out with their humans. While they’re quite calm, they’d prefer a quieter household — ideally with slightly older children who can respect their space and gentle nature.

If you’re looking for a sweet, low-key pair of buns to bring joy and cuteness to your home, Patty and Selma are ready to steal your heart (and maybe your salad).

Things to consider before 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.

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.
