Hi everyone, my name is Ruby
Ruby is a sweet and beautiful little lady. She can be very quiet, shy and timid until she settles in and gets to know her humans. Ruby needs to be given time, love, patience in her new home.
When she first come into foster care, she was timid. Ruby now spends a good portion of the day wandering around, eating and playing. Ruby loves spending time with her foster carer’s cats. Ruby also enjoys chasing toys around, snuggling on the bed or relaxing on the cat tower. Her most beautiful trick is when she drinks water, she has to have her front paws in the water while she drinks. She will make a beautiful addition to a family who is willing to give her time to settle in.
Ruby needs a quiet home.
If you would like to meet Ruby, please call the adoption centre to make an appointment to meet Ruby as Ruby is in foster care and not on site.

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
