Hi I'm Pumpkin! I've found myself at the shelter after an ongoing health issue just wasn't getting better even after a lot of veterinary medical treatment. For the past couple of years I have been having trouble believed to be caused by something called 'Eosinophilic Granuloma Complex'. This is an inflammatory condition caused by an inappropriate immune response that can have a variety of causes and symptoms. In my case I have a large ulcer on my upper lip and a large legion on my side being treated with steroids, along side daily cleanings with a prescription wash followed by some special cream. I am settling into WAG well and am such a good patient! I am super friendly, loveable and my favourite things are getting lots of cuddles, being brushed and I even purr whilst the staff are cleaning my sore wounds. I love making biscuits and I love eating biscuits even more. I'm not too mobile right now but I'm enjoying exploring the cattery at WAG and playing with all of the toys. Human company is  the best, but I can often be found taking an afternoon nap in my soft bed and have been excellent with my litter box habits. I am very grateful to the team at Pemberton Vet who have looked after me for a while now, I will be monitored and taken to a recheck in a few weeks. Fingers crossed I will be feeling better then and they will be proud of me for my progress.

I really am the best boy, I know its true as I'm told that everyday, as well as how handsome I am. Will I charm my way into your heart and home too?

Hi I'm Tux! 

I've found myself at the shelter in my golden years and am looking for a retirement home where I will be doted on and cared for forever. I'm around 12 years old and was very well loved by my pet parent but sadly they needed some assistance when their own health declined. As you can see, I do need to work on my own health too as I am a chonky girl who is on a mission to loose some of these extra pounds! I settled in well at WAG and made lots of new friends but I'm now in a wonderful foster home where I am getting lots of TLC. I love: naps, gentle brushing, food, chin rubs and more naps. I have a few cosy beds and have been trying each one out! I love it here, its much quieter than the shelter and I adore spending time with my foster mom all day as she works from home on the computer next to me. I have been getting monthly Solensia shots to help me with my mobility as my joints are sore, it seems to be working and I'm currently on prescription vet food designed to provide all that is needed for an older gal like me. Although if you ask me, they are being a little strict with my portion control around here.....

Guess what? Shout out to the generous folks at @Petfinder Foundation for awarding WAG with the Senior Pet Grant for little old me! This grant is designed to help alleviate some of the costs that can be associated with adopting a more senior pet. I've been lucky to receive $1000 which will help to cover a variety of costs, including medication and food expenses, for my future adopters. This is an amazing bonus for whoever is lucky enough to adopt me!!
