Meet Ziggy! This gorgeous calico lady recently came into care and has already made herself right at home. Full of playful kitten energy, it’s hard to believe she’s nearly 7 years old! Taking photos of her was nearly impossible because every time the camera came out, Ziggy decided those hands were much better used for pats and would demand our attention instead!

Ziggy has now had her health check and vaccination and is doing really well, with no health concerns. We would still love to organise a heart scan for her before she begins the search for her forever home - purely as a precaution, she is showing no signs of heart disease at this stage.

Before coming into care, Ziggy lived with other cats and was actually part of a bonded pair. Sadly, after losing her best friend, she struggled to feel comfortable around the other cats in the home again. Despite her family trying everything they could, she never fully settled back into multi-cat life.

Because of this, when the time comes, Ziggy will be looking for a loving home where she can be the centre of attention as a spoilt only pet and treated like the queen she is!

Stanley is a very sweet 9 year old boy that has come into our care recently. He loves attention and cuddles with humans.

Unfortunately he is spending his time in quarantine as he currently has an active tritrichomonas infection and is being treated. This isn't his first rodeo and he has received treatment before, but tritrichomonas is a very stubborn parasite!

Cats may shed small amounts of the parasite for the rest of their lives, or sometimes the infection can cause damage to the intestines which will lead to intermittent diarrhoea/IBD symptoms even if the parasite is resolved.

Even though it is very difficult, our goal is to treat him and fully eradicate the tritrichomonas (though there are no guarantees!). Treatment involves following strict hygiene protocols and medication (possibly multiple rounds of it) then PCR testing (also multiple over a period of time) after treatment to make sure the parasite is gone and doesn't reoccur.

We are also giving him lots of probiotics and supplements to help his digestive system recover. We hope to do what we can to get him to clinical remission if at all possible.

Stanley would benefit from a Melbourne based foster carer with no other cats (tritrichomonas is highly infectious) that can help him through his treatment - if this could be you please reach out! Once his tummy is stable again he will be looking for a new home where he gets to spend lots of time with his humans.

Maui is a big blue male sphynx who into care recently with 3 other cats.

He has had a general health check and vaccination and is doing well.

Maui needs a dental procedure before he can look for a new home.
 

Freya is pretty bambino girl who came into care recently with 3 other cats.

She has had a health check and vaccination though requires a dental before she can look for her forever home.

Whilst she was living with and *tolerating* other cats, she would prefer to go a home where she can be a spoilt only pet.
 

Miss Ham-cat is a very sweet 7yo girl.
She has had a general health check up and vaccination, and is well other than a stubborn skin infection we are currently treating.. once this is all healed up she will be looking for a new forever home.

She has also had most of her teeth removed - so she does pull some weird faces and has some indentations on her top lip from where her bottom teeth often poke out, this causes her no pain but it is worth keeping an eye on just in case.

Gizmo is a lovely boy who came into care recently. Gizmo has some food intolerances that can cause him to get extremely itchy, but so far he has been doing really well in care.

Gizmo has been diagnosed with HCM and will need regular check ups for his heart and in the future will require medication. He also needs a dental procedure before he can look for a new home.

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.

Since coming into our care Pickles has had surgery to remove two masses that were growing on her body, each one turned out to be a different tumour (thankfully they were fully removed in the surgery). We have also learned that Pickles is in the early stages of HCM - she does not currently need medication for this but will need another heart scan in a year for monitoring.

​

We are now trying to see if we can help Pickles' eyes as they are cloudy and she constantly has eye discharge. We have ruled out all kinds of infections and have discovered she suffers form dry eye which is actually an autoimmune condition - she is now on special eyedrops for this. She may still go to see an ophthalmologist for a proper assessment of her eyes.

​

Pickles does not have the best teeth but this is a low priority as due to her heart condition, we do not want to put her body under stress with surgeries if we can help it.

Pickles is a very loving girl and we will do our best to get her the help she needs.

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.

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 had a general health check up when she came into care and had no obvious issues, but unfortunately has had a few medical episodes since then that we are trying to get to the bottom of - but she is a bit of a medical mystery! Every now and then Daisy will not be able to regulate her own body temperature and will seem to be in some pain and we are not sure why, but we are investigating and managing it as best we can. Hopefully we can find some answers so that she can then go on to find a new forever home!​​​​​​

​

Daisy is also being retrained to use her litter correctly as she occasionally likes to poop outside of it.
