Hi everyone, my name is Tommy
Meet Tommy, a gentle soul with a quiet charm that blossoms once he feels safe and loved. This sweet adult cat may be shy at first, but with a little patience and a lot of kindness, you’ll discover a deeply affectionate companion who will warm your heart.
Tommy is FIV (Feline Immunodeficiency Virus) positive, which simply means he has a weakened immune system. With a stress-free indoor lifestyle, regular vet checkups, and a healthy diet, FIV+ cats like Tommy can live long, happy lives. He doesn’t require any special medication, just a loving home where he can feel safe, secure, and cherished.
Tommy thrives in calm environments and is looking for a peaceful, indoor-only home where he can truly relax and feel secure. He’s not one for loud noises or busy households. Instead, he dreams of a cozy corner by the window, soft blankets to curl up in, and a loving human who understands the beauty of a slow-growing bond.
If you’re someone who appreciates the subtle joys of a trusting feline friend and can offer Tommy the calm, pampered life he deserves, he just might be your perfect match.
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
