About Nessa
Nessa 🧸
Nessa is a confident, independent lady with a big personality and an even bigger love for toys! She’s a kitten at heart when playtime begins and will happily entertain herself (or you!) with her favourite toys. Nessa likes life on her own terms and is a real stickler for routine.
About Nessa:
Nessa knows exactly what she likes and isn’t afraid to let you know. She prefers to make the decisions herself and doesn’t enjoy being picked up or forced into interactions- it has to be her idea! Once you’ve earned her trust, Nessa is incredibly affectionate and loves to smooch up for love from her favourite people.
Nessa thrives on interactive toys and enrichment, and regular play sessions are the best way to build a bond with her. She has a cheeky, spirited personality that will keep you entertained every day. Keeping up a strong routine with her is a must, this is very important and helps build trust and loyalty to strengthen her bond with her favourite humans.
While Nessa would be happiest as the only cat in the home, she could potentially live with a very specific type of feline companion. A confident, rough-and-tumble player who is highly tolerant and won’t take offence to her play style.
Nessa’s ideal home:
• A home where she can be the only pet (preferred)
• If living with another cat, they must enjoy rough play and be very tolerant
• Humans who respect her boundaries and let interactions happen on her terms
• Plenty of toys, enrichment, and daily playtime
• A home that can provide routine and consistency
• Indoor-only home
If you’re looking for a cat with plenty of personality, endless entertainment, and lots of affection once you’ve earned it, Nessa is ready to find a home that appreciates her for exactly who she is. 💛

Adoption details
We run by appointment, preferably all members of the household to come meet the animal you are wanting to adopt.
If you own another dog, you must bring them along to make sure all dogs get along.
As our goal is to adopt animals out from the shelter into loving homes as fast as possible, multiple bookings may be made for the same animal.
We are not able to hold any animals for any reason.
As such, there is a possibility that the animal you may have found a forever home before your appointment. If this is the case we will inform you by phone call as soon as possible.
Appointment Hours:
Mon- 1-4pm
Tues- 1-4pm
Wed- CLOSED
Thurs- 1-4pm
Fri- 1-4pm
Sat- 9am-12:30pm
Sun- CLOSED
Please give the shelter a call on 5334 2075 or email animalshelter@ballarat.vic.gov.au for more information about the animal and our adoption procedures.
Apologies if we do not reply to your enquiry, we are a busy Shelter and get pulled away from the office often.
We appreciate you wanting to adopt! Please do not let this discourage you from adopting in the future!
