Hi everyone, my name is Poppy
Poppy is a sweet, spirited 1-year-old ginger girl who’s ready to add a little sunshine to your home! She’s not one for sitting on laps, but don’t let that fool you – she’s always by your side. Poppy loves to sit at your feet, follow you around like your personal shadow, and she’ll even greet you at the door when you come home.
She’s quite the vocal lady, especially when it’s mealtime! She’ll remind you (loudly!) when it’s time to feed her and will happily eat whatever you put in front of her. Poppy’s not picky, everything is fair game when it comes to food!
Poppy is perfect for someone who wants a cat that’s affectionate without being overly clingy. If you’re looking for a playful, energetic companion who is happy to share your space and keep you company, Poppy is the one for 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
