About Thomas - Located in St Kilda East
Thomas is a dream boy! Cute, charming, playful and curious. Thomas is such an adorable and sweet young boy and needs the right family to help show him the love that he wasn't given as a kitten.
Thomas needs some time to get used to humans. He has come a long way in foster care, but he still needs some time to become totally comfortable around humans. He is very curious about humans however - you may notice him staring at you when you lay in bed! For the time being, Thomas will only accept very slow and gentle pats, and not too many. He and his brother still spend a lot of time having "introvert time" under the bed, as due to their difficult kittenhood, they are still timid boys. A potential owner ABSOLUTELY MUST be OK with adopting two very independent and introverted cats who will take time to warm up to their surroundings. Having said this, after a few months, they now walk around their foster home quite confidently when they feel like it, but still are wary of their foster carer only allowing a few slow and gentle pats.
Thomas loves watching his favourite TV show - fish swimming on YouTube (but he WILL swat your screen so be careful!). Thomas is turning to a real smooch and loves a pat on his nose and face - after he gets to know you a little. Thomas is going to end up very affectionate once he is in his ideal environment.
Thomas and Benny are a bonded pair, they talk to each other all day in coos, trills and meows, snuggle in bed together, grooming each other and playing together, which is a delight to watch. They also look out for each other when they can't find the other - they truly are a bonded pair. Their furever home will need to supply lots of toys for their stimulation, as they LOVE playing all day, climbing, running and hiding! Their ideal environment would have access to outdoors - but in an enclosed space where they can't venture too far away. Thomas and Benny would be best suited to a family and house where they have a lot of physical space. You can find Benny's profile at https://www.petrescue.com.au/listings/806972
Before applying to meet one of our cats, please ensure that you:
- have the agreement of all members of the household to adopt a Cat,
- have your landlords permission to keep a pet. More information on what to do is available at https://www.consumer.vic.gov.au/housing/renting/applying-for-a-rental-property-or-room/pets-and-renting
- you have all the necessary bits and pieces to welcome your new family member, starting with a cat carrier to bring them home, a litter tray, litter, food and bowls as well as a bed, toys and scratchers, and
- you are ready to welcome them home NOW. We are unable to hold a cat for you if you are not ready to adopt.
IMPORTANT NOTE - COVID19 PRACTICES
Due to the current lockdown in Melbourne we once again need to do things a little differently!
Once you have applied for a cat in our care our fostercarer will contact you by telephone. If at the end of this discussion you would like to process we will then arrange an online meet n greet with the carer and cat.
If you think this cat might be your PURRFECT match we will be utilising our premises at Neko HQ in Preston for the final meet n greet and if agreed adoption as our carers are unable to have guest in their homes. We ask that only one person from the family attend, and that all COVID safe practices are followed to ensure your health and that of our volunteers as well as the general community.
We thank you for your patience throughout this process.
