Looking to add some love (and a little bit of fun) to your life? Meet this week’s Pets of the Week – a darling staffy to warm your heart and a big, lovely kitty, both ready to find their forever homes.

Dog of the Week: Kelsey

Now here’s a gorgeous girl staffy lovers will adore! This is Kelsey, a 5-year-old girl, a well-mannered and playful dog just desperate to become your companion and best friend.

She’s a pretty relaxed girl with a great attitude towards being walked on a lead. She will ignore strangers and put her focus on you. Don’t let that sway you, though; she’ll guard your home and garden area with hearty barks if required.

You can spend hours playing with Kelsey.

She loves her toys and gentle strolls each afternoon will be a delight. Kelsey shows interest and playfulness towards some of our other dogs, but of course, adding new dogs to your home will always take time and is best not rushed.

Come and see Kelsey, an absolutely magnificent staffy girl!

Cat of the Week: Lillibet

Here’s a gorgeous, big girl looking for a loving home. She needs to be the only cat in the house where she can be the boss.

We don’t fat-shame anyone or any animal, but we think it’s OK to call Lillibet a “Chonker.” She may have fallen a little too deeply in love with food in a previous life, but she’s a healthy girl and ready for a new home.

She’s not one of those cats who’ll demand to be on your lap all day, well, not yet anyway.

When we enter her condo to take photos, she doesn’t greet us; instead, she rolls over, watches, and doesn’t mind us being in her space. We think, given her own kingdom (house), she’ll become a fabulous companion house cat.

Come visit Lillibet, sit in her condo, get her vibe and you’ll soon be smitten with her sweet style.

Pawnotes: Last week’s cat of the week, Martha, was adopted! We also have plenty of nine to 10-week-old puppies looking to warm your hearts. Visit the shelter to meet your new pet today!

Visit RSPCA ACT today at 12 Kirkpatrick Street, Weston, and add a new companion to your life.
