πŸˆβ€β¬› Cats 🐈 What made you bring your little furball home? πŸ₯Ήβ€

Post image
97 Upvotes

Our little guy had already been given up twice before he found his way to us. πŸ’”
We already had pets at home, and when we heard his story, my partner and I thought, β€œWell, what’s one more little troublemaker?” πŸ˜‚β€οΈ
We’ve both always loved cats, and honestly, we just wanted to give him something he hadn’t really had before β€” a home he would never have to leave again.
Now he’s part of our little family, and it’s hard to imagine life without him.
He may have been given up on twice, but there won’t be a third time. Not on our watch. πŸ₯ΉπŸΎ
I’m curious, what’s the story behind your cat? Did you choose them, or did they somehow choose you? ❀️

🐢Dogs πŸ• My 14-year-old American Eskimo has moved from the US to China, spent six months in Japan, and finally made it to Australia. This is her β€œI planned the whole thing” face.

She started her life in the US, then came with us to China. When we moved to Australia, getting her here from China was a long process: she had to stay with a carer in Japan for six months, then spend 14 days in quarantine in Melbourne.

She’s 14 now, and somehow still looks like she knows a secret we don’t.

Seeing her safe, comfortable and healthy after all those flights, goodbyes and waiting makes every bit of it worth it. ❀️

Got him a Meow-na Lisa scratcher, but he’s skipped the scratching and gone straight for a cuddle. Can’t blame him β€” she does look very huggable.

He has perfectly good beds, but this beat-up box is clearly the favourite. Caught him tucked inside having a little paw wash. Five-star accommodation, apparently.

Little bushie runt has just fledged and not much bigger than a Bic lighter

I call this one Bix

Little dude has gone through splayed legs and being plucked, both issues caught early and resolved but for some reason this one remained small, unlike his siblings. Bush budgies are small but this one is a clear runt. Healthy though, only just on 4 weeks old and already trying to explore the world!

Need Advice πŸ“• Advice on what pet to choose during my study period

0 Upvotes

I am a 21 year old student living in Campbelltown NSW. When I moved in alone to start my studies, I found that living alone was a bigger problem than I thought. So I decided to look for a pet, a pet that would be very easy to maintain since I have heavy study load. And a pet that would be affordable to start and maintain.

A dog is a no go, very hard to maintain. A feline of any kind would trigger my allergies so that would be a bad choice. Most birds are noisy and won’t be able to put it in a closed apartment. Thought of a pair of rats but still have no idea if I’m allergic or not but it’s actually not a bad idea, so until I find out, I’ll consider it.

I was thinking a reptile: Bearded dragon, children’s python, or blue tongue. I haven’t found a fixed price to start so I don’t know how affordable it could go to own and maintain.

However, a new problem that is pretty much what is holding me from getting a pet at all. Every year, I will be out of home from late October till February. This made me try to do some research about pet care and how expensive it could go. I could not find anything guaranteed or even anything that made sense to me.

I would appreciate any guidance!!!

It belongs to a friend, had it in storage for them until they were ready to collect it.

Marni ignored it once she had a sniff.
