I've had people crying as they hand me their cat because they've had to move into a rental where the cats aren't allowed.”“People dump the kittens or cats in shopping centre car parks or in the bush, headlands. I mean, it's un unbelievable that people think that that's a responsible thing to do. it is so cruel.
“When you adopt an animal, , it's really beautiful because you're giving them a second chance. It's behaviorally assessed, it's medically assessed. So you're getting great value for money as well. We always make sure that people understand that the animal is not just for right now, animals can live 10, even 20 years. So it's a really long term commitment.”
