Meow there! I'm Rizzo, and I've got quite the story to tell you about my journey to finding a forever home! Let me give you a glimpse into my ideal gentle world.

I love company! Being a part of a quiet household with me in the middle observing the action is comforting. I especially like to stretch out between two warm laps at night and chill out watching telly. Sometimes I lay my purring head on one of those laps...but in truth I'm more of an observer than a participant.

I also like a favourite chair that's just my own where I can settle in for the day after brekky and maybe watch the trees and the clouds. Best of all though is that I do love pats and head strokes - every time you walk past me as you go about your day, please.

If I've had enough I will gently let you know. But no scratching I promise!

You could say I am a creature of habit after four years and I guess that's true. I'm not a player and I love to sleep, but gee, I'm a cat! With the right family who understands and respects my boundaries, I know I'll thrive and bring joy to their lives.

We all know love isn't about looks, but if there's a furever home out there with a wishlist that includes big, deep golden eyes and a constant question mark for a tail, then I'm for you! If you're looking for a furry friend whose equal parts affectionate and independent, look no further than yours truly, Rizzo!

The Adoption Process

Cats - If you wish to adopt a cat you are welcome to visit our Wingfield location between 10am and 3pm, Tuesday to Sunday, or our Edinburgh North location between 10am and 3pm, Thursday to Sunday.

Dogs - If you wish to adopt a dog, you are welcome to visit our Wingfield location between 10am and 3pm, Tuesday to Sunday. Dog adoptions from Edinburgh North are by application only. Please fill out the application form on the dog's profile and wait for our staff to contact you.

Please note we no longer do walk throughs of cats or dogs in order to provide a calmer environment for them.

Once you have met an animal you would like to adopt, you can take them home the same day as all AWL animals are desexed, microchipped, vaccinated and health checked ready for their new home (yes, even the kittens and puppies!)
