Pets of the week

Cat of the Week: Bastet

ID A129878

This little charmer is one of our most recent favourites because of her sweet, friendly nature, he lovely meows and…go with us here…her adorable, short little legs.

Yes, she’s got shorter legs than usual (nothing too dramatic) but it all adds up to a unique little girl who’s looking for your company and someone to talk to.

Her only thing is she needs to be the only cat in the home. Hey, what can we say, some cats like other cats (or learn to accept them) and some, like Bastet, just don’t.

For a wonderful house cat who’ll love your company and equally appreciate some alone time with peace and quiet, this is your girl. Bastet is the girl for you!

Dog of the Week: Lachie

ID A129966

This little guy is something special, he’s such a wonderful pup with a marvelous temperament. Even though he’s now three months old and growing, he’s still a delight to pick up and give a snuggle to.

We think Lachie would do best in a home with an existing dog to play with. All pups need basic training of course and Lachie is super sweet and gentle in nature, but another doggy friend to play with would be terrific.

He’s an intelligent little fellow who’ll quickly learn lots of tricks and he’ll respond respectfully to you teaching him the rules of the house. 

Truly 2025 could be renamed ‘Year of the Puppy’ as far as we’re concerned but Lachie (and his siblings – now adopted) are amongst the sweetest pups we’ve seen.
