About Ira
This is by far one of the hardest adoption posts I have had to write. It makes my gut sink like the good ol’ pirate ship ride at the Royal Show.
But alas, it must be done. The reality is, if I don’t let go, there’s no more room at the inn to help others. So here goes.
🧡🧡AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION 🧡🧡
〰️ IRA 〰️
Our beloved Ira was rescued from a property in Torrensville absolutely over run with cats during the absolute peak of kitten season. We have taken several lots of kittens and mums from the property but our work there isn’t done. We are so overwhelmed atm we have to return when things quieter down a bit. We simply can’t keep up.
Ira was around 2 weeks old when we collected him along with kittens from other litters. His cousins were a few weeks older than him so initially we tried to keep him seperate from them ( to avoid rough play) but he was such a determined pocket rocket he wouldn’t have a bar of it. So tiny baby Ira was hand-reared in a group with his cousins who were all self feeding.
Ira isn’t like other kittens. He developed slowly, it was hard to tell if he was undersized because his family were so much bigger! Our vets have suggested that Ira has physical characteristics similar to a particular breed of cats. We won’t disclose that breed in his adoption post but we certainly will be choosing the right home for Ira with those physical characteristics and future needs in mind.
Despite growing with much bigger siblings, Ira has never been a kitten who play fights in a rough manner. He is unlike any kitten I have ever cared for. Ira doesn’t play bite. Or scratch. He just wants love and attention. Ira has the softest, warmest tiny plump body. He will sleep next to you under the blankets , or on your pillow for hours. His purr machine will send you to sleep when your insomnia is at its worst. And will send you back to sleep when you wake. He has such a pure soul. Ira is made up of 💯 golden energy. Parting with Ira will be such sweet sorrow.
Ira is now 16 weeks old . All of his cousins were adopted to amazing homes. ( Starbuck, Dukkah, Wednesday and Henry) Ira is the size of a 10 week old kitten. However he is finally staring to catch up.
Ira is incredibly well socialised with cats and dogs. Ira will automatically join any pack… he has no awareness that others might not accept him straight away . If there someone to meet -Ira is all in 😂.
I am looking for Ira’s forever home. It will be one where he is given the opportunity to shine as an integral part of a family unit. Not to be cast aside or ignored when a child is introduced to the home or another new pet. Not to be surrendered or rehomed due to issues with accommodation. Ira is the companion of a lifetime in the body of a tiny fluffy beast. He must forever be recognised as such.
Ira is available for adoption to an indoor only home or one with an enclosed cat run. High fences are simply not enough.
Ira has never known violence or aggression and could not save himself from predators if he tried. He would simply roll over, purr like mad , completely unaware of the danger in front of him and likely die. He is just that sweet and gentle.
Raising Ira has been my single greatest joy during my most stressful year in rescue. I have seen some truly horrific things this year. Ira has made it possible to swim, not sink .
Some say he is the lucky one to have been rescued . If you know Ira or have met him- you would know the lucky one is indeed me 🙏.
