These quests are in fact repeatable once every year, allowing you to collect all three pets over a three year year period.
The best things come to those who wait. :-)

Give it to the orphan, get the followup quest, shed a tear, and take the Orphan back to The Orphanage in Shat for the final reward(s).
Surprised no one has mentioned the following:
This quest chain (as well as the Azeroth version) are once per year per character, meaning if you have alts that are level 60+, you can do this quest multiple times using a different alt each time.
I collected all four companion pets on the same day doing this. Remember the pets are account wide, so it saves having to wait a year for each one.
