Adoption information
About Beau STA015837
Meet Beau, an incredibly handsome young fellow with a gentle nature and a heart just waiting to be won over. This gorgeous boy is an absolute sweetheart, but he's also quite shy and finds meeting new people and exploring unfamiliar surroundings a little daunting. Beau isn't one to rush into friendships; he prefers to take his time, observe the world around him and make sure everything is safe before showing his true personality.
Beau would love a quiet, calm and predictable home where he can get the lay of the land in his own time and space. He needs a patient, understanding person who won't rush him or expect too much too soon. A cosy hiding spot, a gentle approach and plenty of reassurance will help him slowly build his confidence and discover that his new home is a safe and loving place.
If you're looking for a sweet, gentle companion and understand that the best friendships are sometimes the ones that take a little longer to blossom, Beau could be your perfect match. All this beautiful boy asks for is a little time, plenty of patience and someone who will love him just as he is!

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.
