About Leo and Cheeky Flynn - Located in Albert Park
Would be better in a home with mature adults and with no children of any age.
Affectionate & confident Cheeky Flynn has lived all his life with wise & patient Leo. Rebounding from adversity, Leo & Cheeky Flynn are gentle & appreciative of care. Their support for each other is heart-warming: ever snuggling beside each other, never bickering. Both bravely withstood regular ear drops to overcome infections (caused by ear-mites) before undergoing surgery: Leo to lose a rotten tooth making him miserable; Cheeky Flynn to have his blind eye removed. Both display exemplary resilience & capacity for love. They've fast forgiven scary & uncomfortable treatments & allowed handling, purring while stroked. Cheeky Flynn even purred while receiving eardops!
Leo is more cautious & reserved than Cheeky Flynn, who's easily the most affectionate & trusting cat: he loves pouncing games, curling up on laps or otherwise lying in direct human contact. Leo is still learning to trust & express affection after losing his mum, but is building trust, enjoying pats & brushing, & gaining condition & confidence. Both are remarkably undemanding & almost non-vocal. They're litter-trained, healthy eaters, not overly active & not destructive: choosing a scratching post over furnishings. They deserve a mature, gentle & affectionate guardian, playful but reliable; with a calm, predictable home (especially for Leo). Access to a small outdoor space during the day would be ideal. Having each other for company will reduce stress for all, if work or travel necessitates human absence. They'll bring loads of love & amusement to the right home & will likely adapt to placid dog company. Their purrs are pure therapy.
Leo m/chip: 900113001898053 - 11 years 1 month old
Cheeky Flynn m/chip: 900113001898050 - 7 years 1 month old
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 lock down in Melbourne we once again need to do things a little differently!
Once you have applied for a cat in our care our foster carer will contact you by telephone. If at the end of this discussion you would like to proceed, 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.

Maneki Neko Cat Rescue would like to help ensure you and your new companion/s have a long and happy life together.
