Adoption information
About Shelby STA014569
Shelby is a lovely young senior lady with the most beautiful green eyes and a gentle, sweet nature that makes her an absolute delight to be around.
She’s an affectionate girl who enjoys the simple pleasures in life — good company, a comfortable place to relax, and of course, a tasty meal. Shelby is quite food motivated and takes her dining very seriously, which means she’s not too keen on sharing her meals with anyone else!
Shelby would do best as the one and only feline family member in the home, where she can enjoy all the attention (and all the food bowls) to herself.
Shelby would thrive in a quiet, calm household without the hustle and bustle of young children. She’s looking for a peaceful home where she can settle in, relax, and enjoy spending time with her people at her own gentle pace.
A cosy spot by the window would be the perfect finishing touch for Shelby, where she can watch the world go by and soak up the sunshine throughout the day.

You can only adopt a cat for yourself we do not allow animals to leave with third parties. If you are wishing to adopt a cat as a present for someone, bring them with you as cats are individuals and bond with different people in different ways, the cat you may choose, may not choose your friend! It is also important to allocate time for adoption and we recommend you allow at least a couple of hours to get to know the cat and do the necessary paperwork.
When you visit you will get to meet the cat and as this is a very important decision for both you and the cat you choose we will want to ensure the two of you are compatible and that you understand what will be involved in taking the cat into your home.
We will want to be satisfied that you are prepared to be a responsible pet owner. Responsible pet owners at the most basic level, have their pets registered, micro-chipped and de-sexed unless they are registered breeders. They also understand the issues involved in being able to properly care and take responsibility for the welfare of their pets. Most Councils in Victoria have limits on the numbers of cats you may own without a permit. It is important to check with your Council if you already own the limit and obtain a permit for the extra cat before adoption. We will require to see your permit.
We will answer any questions you have regarding cat care and help you to obtain any support you may need.
