Hi everyone, my name is Zelda
Zelda is a stunning dark tortoiseshell beauty with soulful eyes and a heart full of quiet love. She might not be the first to rush over when you walk in the room but give her a little time, and you’ll discover one of the most affectionate companions you could ask for.
Zelda would flourish in a calm home with understanding humans who appreciate a gentle, reserved cat. She’d do best with adults or older children who can give her space to come out of her shell at her own pace. Once she settles in, Zelda’s trust and affection are truly something special the kind of love that feels earned and deeply rewarding.
If you’re looking for a loving companion who will fill your home with purrs and affection, Zelda might just 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
