Hello, my name is Coco and I am told that I am a very, very pretty silver tabby (just like the kitten in the Whiskas commercial). I came to my foster family with my brothers and I was very scared. At first, I didn’t want to be touched but after a couple of days I discovered that it was actually really nice and now whenever I see my foster people I purr really loudly and like to be picked for a cuddle. However, I am still a little scared of strangers so I would like someone to take me home with them who would spend the time to get to know me until I feel safe with them too. I also get on well with all the other cats in the house.
Coco was adopted on 21 August 2017 after 1 week in foster care

Lucy came into care with her siblings Cody and Toby.
She is a sweetheart with a lot of love to give, she is confident, friendly, and playful with her both her siblings and humans.
Lucy is very inquisitive, she likes to follow us around the house and check everything out. She also has a sneaky side, as soon as you open a door she is quick to slide in, sometimes without you knowing, more than once I have closed a door behind me and 10 minutes later, i hear her having a ball with all the new things to play with.
She is full of character, likes getting into everything and mostly a great entertainer.
She is also very aware when she is doing something she isn’t supposed to do, as you will see in one of her photos. She could battle my teenage daughter in an eye rolling competition haha
Lucy is a big fan of toys on rope and things that roll or move, and absolutely loves the cat tower.
She would love to be in a home with other younger cats or kittens, but would be happy with a human family to play with too. She would really love a family that lets her snuggle up in bed, or on the lounge with you, she is a purr machine when she is sharing your warmth.
Lucy is litter trained and looking for an indoors home.
She has been treated for fleas/worms and is microchipped, desexed and vaccinated, she is located in Kingswood
Lucy is currently being treated for ringworm, she is still available for adoption if you are comfortable with continuing treatment.
Lucy was adopted on 20 August 2017 after 3 months in foster care
domestic short hair - male
Gorgeous,quirky.unique and definitely handsome young man.Fletcher has an independent playful nature.
Fletcher loves to snuggle on your lap while you watch TV but now that the heater is out he is the first one there.
Fletcher lives with an adult female cat and while they get along most of the time there are times when she wishes he would just vanish and for this reason I think he would be better as an only cat...however...he does also love the company of his 3 canine foster sisters,he feels he is part of the gang.
Fletcher is not an 'in your face' cat at all.Fletcher uses his litter box like a champion and loves his food.
He is already de-sexed and fully vaccinated .
Fletcher really deserves a home of his own.
I feel Fletcher would be more than just your cat he will become your best friend
Fletcher was adopted on 17 August 2017 after 6 months in foster care

Jack Russell Terrier - male
PK is a loving 10 year old Jack Russell Terrier looking for a new home. He is very sweet, affectionate and a classic lap-dog who will happily take as much love and attention as you can give, especially if it’s in the form of a belly rub!
He loves a good walk, however he’s not your typical high energy Jack Russell and is equally happy to be by your side or snuggled in his bed, as you watch TV. He doesn’t mind what you do, as long as you’re happy to have him tag around and spend quality time with you. He is a little shy until he gets to know you but really benefits from plenty of attention and reassurance.
Unfortunately we’ve had to make the heartbreaking decision to rehome him. We work full time and are unable to give him the companionship he deserves.
PK was owned by my parents. My father passed away a couple of years ago and my mother has recently moved into an aged care facility. As a favour to my mother, we adopted him, but as he is used to someone being at home, he suffers from separation anxiety. This normally manifests in him barking and pacing when we leave him at home.
The ideal owner would be someone who is retired or who works from home.
He is a friendly dog, but may find small children intimidating so would suit a family with older children, empty nesters or retirees looking for a loving and loyal companion. PK is an indoor dog. He spends most of his time inside and has been allowed to sleep on the furniture (sofa and bed). Since we’ve had him, we have trained him not to jump up on the furniture, though sometimes when he gets excited, he forgets his manners. He has lived with another dog all his life, however due to his submissive nature, prefers a quieter doggy companion. He is not a dog who will play with other dogs.
Ideally, he’d be happy to be the only dog so he can have your undivided attention in return for his loyalty.
PK is house trained, desexed and his vaccinations are valid until June next year. He’s healthy, though does suffer from ‘shaky dog syndrome’ that many small dogs have, but this hasn’t hampered him in any way.
If you think you have the perfect home for PK, we’d love to hear from you. Please contact Cathy on 0431 965 783.
Vaccination next due: 28/6/18
Medical Issues or Treatments:He has shaky dog syndrome, so he shakes a lot but isn't affected by it other than being underweight. Also has two sores on his leg, which the vet has said he'll probably always have. Otherwise he's healthy.
Behaviour issues:He has severe separation anxiety. He craves human company and barks and paces if he is left alone. Dog company doesn't reduce his anxiety. He's very submissive and likes to cling to you, but behind your feet. We've tried everything to calm him down and sought advice from a trainer but the only options are to have someone with at home full time or to medicate him.
Is PK OK with Kids? He's not been around kids, although is happy to be patted by them. But given his anxiety issues he needs an older family as loud noises scares him.
Is PK OK around other animals? He's good with dogs, he's always has a dog companion. However he would suit a quieter dog as he doesn't like to play. He's not been around other animals though.
House Trained: Yes

Welsh Pony X - gelding
Welsh Pony X Gelding 12.3hh, 23yrs
Kirby is a predictable and even tempered, well mannered pony. He's good to groom, trim, lead & handle.
Kirby's background is largely unknown, however he's been a riding pony in the past and has had a basic to intermediate level of education. He lunges fine, he's a bit unsure but not silly in any way.
We have test ridden him several times and he is easy to saddle up, obedient at a walk and trot and good in new surroundings, however he's not being ridden regularly.
Under experienced supervision Kirby would suit being a lead rein pony for a young child, or an independent pleasure riding pony for an older child.
Kirby has been neglected before coming to us and has some white hair along his back that may be due to untreated rain scald, however he is also a Roan Bay, so this may have always been part of his colouring.
If you can give Kirby the great forever home that he deserves, please contact us for more information about him.
