Hi everyone, my name is Sid
Meet Sid, a handsome ginger boy with a gentle soul. Sid can be a little shy when meeting new people and prefers to take things at his own pace. Give him a little time, a calm environment, and a few gentle pats, and you’ll soon see his sweet, affectionate side.
Once he feels safe, Sid enjoys attention and loves being patted. He’s looking for a patient family who understands that trust is earned and is happy to let him settle in on his own terms. In return, you’ll gain a loyal companion who will reward your kindness with quiet affection.
Sid is FIV positive, but with good care he can enjoy a long, happy life. To keep him safe and healthy, he is looking for an indoor-only home where he can be the only pet. A quiet environment where he can relax and build confidence will suit him best.
If you’re looking for a gentle cat who blossoms with love and patience, Sid could be the perfect addition to your home.

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
