Pets for Life Adoption Program

UQ’s Pets-for-Life adoption program gives unwanted pets a second chance in life while at the same time helping Clinical Studies students learn about handling skills, animal behaviour and preparing for procedures.

Adopting a Pet-for-Life is very rewarding as one of our new families recently said after adopting ‘Mishka’ the cat,

“The program is about changing lives, not only of those animals whose destiny has been to save others, but about improving the quality of your own household, bringing into your home the kind of emotional and physical happiness that only a beloved pet can offer”

Our Pets-for-Life adoption program will match the needs of the pet with the right family. So if you are interested in meeting one of our pets please call 5460 1868, leave a message and we will return your call as soon as possible.

We are based at UQ’s Gatton campus and open Monday to Friday, 8am to 4pm.

Adoption Fees: $350.00 for dogs and $250.00 for cats. All fees go back into caring for our Pets-For-Life animals.

All dogs and cats are;

health checked,
de-sexed,
vaccinated,
microchipped,
wormed
flea treated

All our Pets-for-Life adoption animals are kindly supported and fed by Advance Pet Food.

The Clinical Studies Centre is helping to contribute to solving the unwanted and abandoned pet issue through education and each time a dog or cat is adopted we save another life.

Adoption List

Comet $50.00

Domestic short hair cat DOB 14/09/2013.

Sparkling green eyes!

Comet is a smoocher and you could lose yourself forever in those beautiful green eyes! He wants to wrap himself around your ankles, he wants your company, to sleep on your lounge and maybe watch you from the top of the fridge too! A really affectionate, gentle and personable cat!

Comet arrived underweight, missing five teeth and with very poor dental health. We then needed to take out another eight teeth! Comet is a very happy cat who can eat properly again. He's gained weight and is now in good health. He retains his incisor teeth and a few others, which may or may not need removal over time.

Crackle $250.00

Crackle who came in with her sister Pop and Snap, is a fun loving young lady. Sadly she is the last of the Rice Bubble girls to find a home. Can your home provide the missing link, for this adorable young lady, everyone needs a little Crackle' of fun.

Nacho $50.00

Male Domestic Medium Hair Cat DOB 16/12/2017.

Nacho will be in your business, in your shopping, up in your grill big time! He can be a rough-houser with other cats, but does enjoy their company, so if they’re up for it, he’s up for it! He’s too much of a companion for shy cats, as would totally overwhelm them with his enthusiasm for rough play! Nacho has been exposed to or has had cat flu, and completely recovered.

Tequila $50.00

Mesmeric eyes, look deep! DOB 16/06/2018. Female Domestic Short Hair Cat

Look at that face, and those mesmerising eyes! Tequila loves to hide and spy on you, but she's still a youngster, who can be a little rough, ambush is her favourite game! When she's in the mood, she will happily have head scratches for days and days please! She’s really looking forward to snuggling up with you on the bed in winter! Tequila has been exposed to or has had cat flu, and completely recovered.
