Animals for adoption at Animal Welfare League of Queensland, Gold Coast

Meet Benji. This handsome fella is king of his domain and knows exactly what he wants in life — eg. pats, as he hunkers down next to you. Are you ready to open your heart to this homeless cat — or perhaps one of his other abandoned friends?

Female — 1 year 1 Month

$315.00

Marlee has found her way to the AWLQ Gold Coast Rehoming Centre from a rural pound

and with a little tender loving care she is now ready to find her new forever home. Social

with other dogs, Marlee would suit a family with an existing dog who can buddy up with

Marlee and introduce her to life on the Gold Coast and reassure her when she needs it.

Marlee will bond closely with the humans in her new family, so she will need to be included

in a life indoors and be offered cuddle time at night. If you would like to meet Marlee,

please bring your existing dog and she will be excited to greet you.

SIMBA

Brown Tabby — Domestic Short Hair

Male — 4 Years 7 Months

$120.00

Simba is a handsome companion cat who is seeking a forever home that will take him away

from the AWLQ Gold Coast shelter which he is finding a little noisy. Currently this super

friendly and affectionate boy likes playing hide (under beds and linen) while he waits for

people to seek him out for his affections. Simba is open to all pats and cuddles and is trying

to be his confident best, but to truly shine and relax he needs a family to welcome him into

their home.

Benji and his friends have all been vet checked and desexed.
