Hi everyone, my name is Ugali
Ugali is a sweet 3 year-old boy who can be quite shy and will need a little time and patience to come out of his shell. Once he feels safe and comfortable, he can really start to show his lovely personality.
Ugali has a history of stress related urinary issues (FLUTD/chronic cystitis), so a calm, predictable home will be very important for him. He does best with a consistent routine, quiet spaces to retreat to, plenty of enrichment and time to settle in at his own pace.
He is currently on a urinary supportive diet and receives medication to help manage his stress, which is being gradually reduced under veterinary guidance.
Ugali is looking for a patient home where his new family understands that he may take some time to adjust. With the right environment, routine and plenty of love, we hope he can continue to grow in confidence and enjoy a happy, comfortable life.

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
