Hi everyone, my name is Pistachio
Meet Pistachio, a sweet and gentle 1 year old who is timid when you first meet her but then super affectionate. Pistachio has already been through so much in her young life, having had kittens while still a kitten herself. Now that her mothering duties are over, it’s time for her to find a home where she can be cared for and nurtured in return.
Once Pistachio is comfortable in her space, her sweet personality shines through. She loves curling up in a cozy spot and enjoys a peaceful environment. Pistachio is the perfect companion for someone who appreciates a quieter, more laid-back pet.
If you’re ready to open your heart to this young girl and provide her with the loving, nurturing home she craves, Pistachio will undoubtedly become your devoted companion for years to come.

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
