10 PETS OF THE MONTH Kimiko Animal ID:142938 | Domestic Short Hair | Female | 4 Years 1 Month | Small Tabby Kimiko is a quiet beauty with a heart full of love-she’s just waiting for the right person to help her shine. This lovely girl is about 2 years old and has a gentle, shy nature that makes her extra special. She may take a little time to come out of her shell, but once she trusts you, her affection is deep and sincere. Kimiko enjoys quiet spaces, soft blankets, and peaceful routines. She’s the kind of cat who will quietly keep you company while you read, work, or relax. Her big, expressive eyes say more than words ever could, and her presence brings a calming energy to any room. Kimiko, Chippie and more wonderful pets are waiting to meet you at AWL Coombabah on Shelter Road, Coombabah. Chippie Animal ID:140668 | Staffordshire Bull Terrier | Female 1 Year, 2 Months | Medium | Tan Hi there! I’m Chippie, Your soon-to-be best fur-end! I’m a tail-wagging, treat-loving, belly-rub enthusiast with a huge heart. I’ve been paws-itively dreaming of a forever home where I can chip in some love, laughter, and loyalty. If you’re looking for a pup who’s all that and a bag of bark-ritos, I’m your gal. Let’s make some un-fur-gettable memories together! Despite my name, I’m sweet not salty I promise. I adore people, cuddles, long walks on the beach and running around with my own 4 legged friends. I am currently waiting to meet my forever person, someone patient, into cuddles on the couch as well as long walks in nature. I would love to learn some new tricks if they have the time to teach me. If this sounds like you, please call my people and come down so we can have a kiki face to face.
