Meet Rick & Morty,

These two charming, long-haired boys bring joy and warmth wherever they go. They would thrive in a loving home where they can enjoy each other’s company and receive plenty of attention from their human family.

They are adaptable and would do well in a variety of living situations as long as they have plenty of love, toys, and a comfortable place to call their own.

Come meet them and see how they could complete your family. https://lortsmith.com/adoption/available-for-adoption/monty-and-rick/

We recently welcomed a rather scaly patient for a check-up with our Exotic and Unusual Pets team! 🐍

This gorgeous six-foot carpet python was having difficulty shedding, and the area around his eyes needed some extra TLC. Our experienced vets are always up to the challenge, and he should be shedding with ease in no time.

Today marks International Homeless Animal Day. For individuals experiencing homelessness or housing instability, the prospect of parting with a beloved pet adds to the stress they already face. Recognising the profound bond between people and their animals, we proudly offer Emergency Welfare Assistance.

This program, made possible through generous donations, allows us to provide urgent care for pets belonging to individuals in crisis. We ensure these animals receive shelter, food, medication, veterinary attention as needed, and plenty of affection and companionship.

Their owners can take comfort in knowing their pets are lovingly cared for until they can be reunited. Please visit our website for more information about this program or to donate.

Meet Tess 🐱

Tess is a lovely little kitty currently in foster care with one of our wonderful volunteers.

Tess is a sweet, snuggly, affectionate cat who has been a lovely and easy house guest.

She isn’t super active or boisterous, so she would be happy in a smaller home or apartment. Tess would love a home where someone (or everyone!) is home often, as she loves a lot of affection and company.

Meet and greets with Tess are by appointment only due to being in foster care. Please fill out an expression of interest form on our website.

Does your pet have stinky breath? This could be one of the first signs of dental or gum problems. Other signs as the problems advance could be a reluctance to eat or chew on hard items, that they used to enjoy regularly.

Regular dental care is important for your pet's wellbeing.

If you have any concerns about your pet’s oral health, we recommend a health check. Visit our website to book a consult or call 03 9328 3021.
