All 10-week-old kitten Momo wants for Christmas is lots of hugs from a new family and playing with the tinsel on the Christmas tree.
Momo is one of the abandoned animals that the Sydney Dogs and Cats Home is asking people to bring home this festive season.
The non-profit organization encourages anyone considering adding a pet to their family to choose a shelter rather than buying it from a store or breeder.
The RSPCA received nearly 95,000 abandoned pets across Australia last year, a figure that does not include the thousands of pets housed in local non-profit shelters.
Sydney Dogs and Cats Home is one of the few shelters in NSW that does not impose limits on the time an animal is kept. He also has a no-kill policy.
Tessa Miles of Sydney Dogs and Cats Home says that although many pets come from difficult circumstances, they are extremely gentle, affectionate and just want to be around people. Just like an 18 month old Boxer.
“He likes people petting him when they walk past his kennel and he likes to play,” she said.
“He’s such a sweet, gentle dog.”
