CURRENTLY IN CARE
The cats below are currently in care at our Melbourne HQ and will be looking for new homes soon!

Pickles
Microchip no.: TBC
D.O.B.: TBC
Pickles is a lovely lady that has recently come into care. She is a bit of a complicated case and has a few health concerns we are addressing before she can hopefully find a new home.
Her eyes are a bit cloudy which we suspect is scarring from chronic conjunctivitis and she is definitely in need of a dental, but our biggest concern right now is a lump she has growing on her back - cytology has come back indicating it is a "basilar epithelial neoplasm" and recommending removal which is booked in for mid August. We will need to organise her dental for a bit later once she has recovered as it would be too big of a surgery to do both at the same time. We would also like to take her to an ophthalmologist to assess her eyes thoroughly.
Pickles is a very loving girl and we will do our best to get her the help she needs.

Cleo
Microchip no.: 956000010519749
D.O.B.: 19/02/2019
Cleo is a sweet 6 year old girl who has been well loved and looked after. Unfortunately she was really struggling to cope living with children and it was causing her a lot of stress, so her owners made the difficult decision to rehome her for her own benefit.
We have taken her for a vaccination and general health check and she is doing well -she does have some staining of her teeth and mild gingivitis but fairly normal for a cat her age.
Cleo will be looking for a new home to rule over, with no children and ideally no other animals (though she has lived with small dogs before - as long as they are calm and respect her space she might be able to tolerate them) so she can live the spoilt life a queen like Cleo deserves. We are giving her a little bit of time to settle in at our Melbourne HQ but we will start taking applications for her soon!

Covi
Microchip no.: 956000011778538
D.O.B.: 26/11/2020
Covi is a very affectionate ginger boy who loves cuddles on the couch. He is not a huge fan of young children or other animals - he wants all the attention for himself.
​
We have taken him for a vaccination and general health check and he is doing well, though he does have sensitive skin and will need a dental procedure before he can look for a new home.

Winrey
Microchip no.: TBC
D.O.B.: TBC
Introducing one of the newest additions to our Sphynx Rescue family - Winrey! She is a lovely elf girl who demands your attention.
She is a very smoochy girl who loves human attention, but not a fan of other animals or babies & small children. ​
​
We have taken Winrey for a vaccination and health check and she has also had a dental procedure with some teeth needing removal.
​
Winrey came into care as she her previous family had recently welcomed a baby and she was not coping with the changes. Due to her stress Winrey began toileting inappropriately. So far in care she has not peed ON anything she shouldn't (couches, bedding, etc) but we have found she tends to pee directly in front of her litter tray rather than inside it. We have been trialling different tray types, litters, etc to see if we can find a solution she likes but so far placing a puppy pee pad in front of her litter has worked best - though we are working on retraining her to go inside the litter box.
​
Her litter retraining is going well, with no accidents so far.
​

Daisy
Microchip no.: TBC
D.O.B.: TBC
Daisy is a little sweet girl who loves cuddles on the couch.​
​
She is not a fan of babies & small children or dogs, she has quietly tolerated other cats but would likely prefer to be on her own.
​
Daisy has seen our vets and has no obvious health concerns, but she is not yet available as we are trying to help her to relearn correct toileting etiquette.
​​​
​Daisy came into care for similar reasons as Winrey - a growing family that was causing her stress and inappropriate toileting habits. Daisy will use her litter tray... but also likes to poop on the floor. We have been trialling different trays/litter types etc but so far we haven't found the answer so we are going back to basics to try to retrain her to use a litter tray only.
​

Remus
Microchip No.: 956000010563887
D.O.B.: 25/10/2018
Remus is actually a Lykoi (or 'werewolf cat') not a sphynx - but we are awarding him 'Honorary Hairless Cat' status.
​
Remus is a sweet boy who is well loved and looked after, but at some point he may be looking for a new home that will enjoy his weirdness and continue to spoil him. We do not have a timeline for this but thought we would share him with you anyway, because look at that face!
He is up to date on his vet care and has had a recent general check up - for the most part is in good health. He did have a dental and needed a few teeth out but is doing well and enjoying lots of cuddles whilst recovering.
​
The black spots you can see on him are freckles/sunspots, but Remus does have a skin condition that can occur in Lykoi cats where he develops cysts under his skin. It has never caused him any pain or issues other than being 'bumpy'.
