https://www.neko.org.au/ these guys were FANTASTIC. Both mine are from there and I couldn't recommend them enough. if you have your eye on one bring a carrier with you (one from kmart is totally fine) and chuck a blanket in it. They feed them (or used to at least) Royal canin, so if they still do with having that at home along with the essentials (toys, bed, food bowls, water dish/fountain).
Read the profiles, but know they arnt always 100%. If you are in a position to take a bonded pair its totally worth it too. They are social creatures.
Thanks! I've been looking at Neko as well. How did you find the adoption process? Was it long? How long did you need to wait?
I would love to take a pair but I think since it's my first time having a pet, maybe one would be fine for now? Idk
Pairs will be better if you can. That way they have a companion and then there are less behavioural issues. A bonded pair or siblings is great fun.
I've adopted through here in the south east, one at a time
