Manager of Citizen Services Laurienne Winbanks said “quite often the older, or in this instance mature aged cats are being overlooked for their younger counterparts. Council is currently trialling a reduced adoption fee of $100 for a mature aged cat.”
“Mature aged cats have so much to offer families. Quite often senior cats are house trainedand have also slowed down. Normally mature aged cats have been socialised and know what they like and what they want. So this makes it much easier for their new owners to work out what they need”.
“Matured aged cats, while a little older, deep down are young at heart and just want to be loved and cared for. They have so much love to offer. So why not come down to the animal shelter or view our cats that are currently up for adoption or view our website,” said Ms Winbanks.
All animals available for adoption have been vet checked, temperament tested, vaccinated, micro chipped and de-sexed.
