Meet Poppie,
Poppie is a sweet and gentle girl who might play a little coy when you first meet, but she certainly doesn't make you wait too long to become friends. Once she decides you're worthy of her affection, her shy side quickly disappears and out comes the real Poppie - rolling around, dramatically flopping over in front of you and making it very clear that she's ready for some attention.
And attention is definitely high on Poppie's list of favourite things! Ear scratches and long, gentle pats along her body are particularly appreciated, and given the choice between a tasty treat and a good ear scratch, there's a fair chance she'll choose the scratch. She does have her preferences when it comes to affection and isn't particularly fond of being touched underneath her chin or on her belly, so sticking to her favourite spots is the quickest way to stay in her good books.
Poppie hasn't shown us much interest in toys so far, preferring food-based enrichment and time spent with her people instead. She'll happily accept treats when they're offered and has perfect litter tray manners. Other cats, however, don't seem to be particularly high on her social calendar. She has hissed when meeting them and, while she hasn't looked for trouble, she doesn't appear especially interested in making feline friends either.
Poppie could settle into a variety of homes with people who are happy to give her a little time to find her feet. She may initially hang back while she gets to know you, but it doesn't take long before this affectionate girl starts actively seeking you out. If your idea of a good relationship involves plenty of ear scratches, full-body pats and a cat dramatically flopping at your feet to remind you she's there, Poppie might be exactly who you've been waiting for.

With all animals it’s important to understand that going into a new environment with new people may not be as flawless as we want it to be. It’s important to know that these animals have unknown histories. Most left in the shelter by their owners. The information we receive is from observing the animal’s behaviours & reactions to certain stimuli whilst in our care. Adopted animals can take up to 3 months to properly decompress from post-shelter life & a lot of behaviours & quirks will surface during this time. All that we ask is that their new owners have an open mind & are patient.
So please keep in touch with us after adoption so that we can help you settle your new family member in and address any unexpected behaviours.
The adoption fee for dogs covers C5 vaccination, health check, heartworm testing, desexing, micro-chipping, and registration.
The adoption fee for cats covers F3 vaccination, health check, desexing, micro-chipping, and registration.
