Meet Burger,
Burger has never met a stranger - only people who haven't given him attention yet. Confident, outgoing, ridiculously social and fully aware that he is cute as a button, Burger firmly believes he should be the star of every room he enters. He's vocal, clever and incredibly people-oriented, with a serious case of FOMO. He's technically an independent young cat... he'd just prefer to be independent approximately three centimetres away from you at all times.
Affection with Burger is less of a request and more of an expectation. He loves pats, cuddles and being involved in whatever you're doing, and if he feels you haven't provided an appropriate amount of attention, he may take matters into his own paws. Burger has been known to launch himself from his condo directly into an unsuspecting chest, shoulder or pair of arms because apparently waiting to be invited for a cuddle is wildly inefficient. He's even figured out how to open his hidey-hole door, so keeping this clever little brain entertained is going to be important!
Thankfully, Burger loves play and enrichment, particularly dangling toys and anything that makes him work for food. He's certainly food motivated, but given the choice, people usually win. Burger is litter trained, although his extreme FOMO can occasionally get the better of him in his condo - sometimes there are simply far too many important things happening and bathroom breaks need to be completed at record speed. He can also play-bite when he gets excited, so children in his future home should be confident and cat-savvy enough to understand when Burger needs a moment to settle.
Burger is confident around other animals and could potentially live with another cat or a cat-friendly dog. He can become overstimulated, though, so slow introductions and allowing him to properly settle into his new home before meeting resident pets will give everyone the best chance of becoming friends. The good news is that if another animal isn't interested in his antics, Burger is capable of taking the hint and walking away.
If you're looking for a quiet, undemanding cat who keeps to himself... Burger would like to respectfully withdraw his application. But if you want a hilarious, clever, affectionate little shadow who plans to be involved in absolutely everything you do, Burger is ready to report for duty.

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.
