CLARY - IF040-18 Date of Birth: 1st Apr, 2016 Rescue Date: 11th May, 2018 Location: Hamilton Hill, WA DESCRIPTION Clary is a domestic short hair tabby female cat. She acts a little like a Bengal but that could just be her purrsonality! HISTORY Clary was brought into the pound and was in there for quite some time while attempts were made to find her a foster home. She ended up going a bit stir crazy at which point she was brought out of the pound and boarded. TEMPERAMENT Clary had a little bit of cattitude when she was brought out of the pound, as she was not a very happy kitty. She has calmed down since arriving in her temporary foster home, and is no longer 'nipping' at people, but she still has a lot to say and many hisses to give any cats that dare to encroach on her territory! LIKES / DISLIKES Clary isn't the biggest cat fan, which is ironic since she's a cat herself! She gets a bit hissy when she sees another cat looking at her, but as long as there's a barrier blocking her view of the feline next to her (who currently happens to be her fellow IFR kitty Misty), she is all good. She does love her food and gets a little uppity and impatient when waiting for it to be brought to her. Clary doesn't love having her hips and the base of her tail area touched, and may give you a little warning that she's not enjoying it. She loves head scratches and head bumps! Twirling around a person's legs is also a favourite pastime. IDEAL HOME Clary's ideal home would be with people who have a lot of pats and snuggles to give, and who are always on time with dinner! Clary is a kitty who knows what she wants, and she needs a person or people who are happy to grant her wishes!

DAHLIA - IF020-18 Date of Birth: 1st Aug, 2017 Rescue Date: 9th April, 2018 Cat's Nicknames: Baby girl, little one, the cat formally known as hissy CAT'S PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION Dahlia is a tiny all black female DMH. With black whiskers, nose and bright yellow eyes she is stunning to look at. In the light her chest and stomach hair has a tinge of brown. CAT'S KNOWN HISTORY & TEMPERAMENT Dahlia was part of a little mini-cat colony that was being fed by someone living in a block of flats. She and the other kitties began to be brought to the pound in March 2018, in dribs and drabs. Due to her rough start, Dahlia can be skittish and scared until you gain her trust. This is likely to take a long time, months at least. However once you gain her trust she becomes the most loving and sweet companion. It took 8 months with her current foster carer to go from hiding and hisses to cuddles in bed each morning and evening. But she is absolutely worth the wait! She is still very scared of sudden movements and noises and will likely never be a lap cat. CAT'S INTERESTS AND HOBBIES Dahlia loves to play, mostly on her own though and without an audience. She loves chasing balls or playing zoomies on the tiles, or playing footsie under a door or bed with her big fluffy cat brother. She absolutely loves pats and scratches on her chin and ears and will demand pats until your hand falls off. She will give teeny little love bites if you stop to rest for too long. Touching her on the tummy is %100 off limits, as is picking her up. But this is something her carer is working on. Dahlia loves being with other cats when her human isn't around. IDEAL HOME For Dahlia, a quiet home without too much noise or fuss would be best. Dahlia would not do well with young children or dogs but will require at least one other cat friend she can bond with, especially if the owner will be working a lot of hours. Any future adopter will have to understand Dahlia's timid nature, and commit to gaining her trust for however long it takes before even being able to touch her.

MAMMA - IF060-15 Date of Birth: 19th Dec, 2013 Rescue Date: 21st Mar, 2015 Location: Wilson, WA DESCRIPTION Mamma is a domestic short hair black & white (tuxedo) female cat with a soft, velvety coat. HISTORY This sweet girl arrived in the pound in 2015 with five tiny kittens. They all had to be treated for ringworm, but have long since recovered, and are now ready for their forever homes! TEMPERAMENT Mamma is a gentle little lap cat who just wants to cuddle. She absolutely loves to "hunt" the toy on the end of a cat wand, displaying all sorts of acrobatics, and will drag off her trophy if you let her catch it! She loves to play chasey with other cats in the household, and is good at setting boundaries with new animals. Mamma has adapted well to the resident cats and Ridgeback dog in her foster home, proving she would be perfect in a home with other animals. If she's lonely for too long, she'll let you know by sweetly wondering around the house crying out for you, and you'll be met with purrs and affection when you approach her. LIKES / DISLIKES Mamma likes to play with cat "wand" toys or snuggle up with her human or cat friends. She loves watching birds through the window, but is quite happy staying inside with a comfy bed and toys, or sleeping in a sunny window. She really loves to chill out on the couch with her people most of all. IDEAL HOME Mamma would suit a home with other friendly cats and dogs, or as an only cat with someone who is home a lot. Though she enjoys the occasional hug, she can be easily distressed by being picked up "wrong", and thus any children in her household would need to know to respect her boundaries and be gentle with this little girl. If you are interested in adopting two cats that already get along, Mamma's daughter is also available for adoption - ask us about Kitty Girl!

PENELOPE - IF022-18 Nicknames: Penny Date of Birth: 1st Jan, 2017 Rescue Date: 3rd May, 2018 Location: Golden Bay, WA DESCRIPTION Penelope is a petite, domestic short-haired, white female cat. HISTORY Penelope and another white cat named Pandora ended up in the pound together from the same mini-cat colony, where they had been being fed by a resident of a block of flats. Since being in foster care, Penelope has made great strides in becoming a friendly kitty. TEMPERAMENT Penny is a loving playful kitty, who is still a little on the cautious side with humans. Penny loves to play with her foster brothers or by herself. She loves pats from the big humans (is still getting used to the loud little human in her foster home). She does give little "love" bites, but they are ever so soft. She is still a little skittish, and requires slow movements around her or when going for a pat. LIKES / DISLIKES Penny likes playing with her foster brothers and all the toys. She also likes pats and a nice quiet spot to sleep until she's ready to play. Penny does not like to be picked up, however we believe this is just because she is not used to it. IDEAL HOME Penny would fit right into any house, however some patience will be required as she is still getting used to humans wanting to love her. We need her to be an indoor-only cat, due to her white colouring putting her at risk of skin cancers.

CHIP - IF099-15 Date of Birth: 15th Mar, 2015 Rescue Date: 29th May, 2015 Location: Warnbro, WA DESCRIPTION Chip is a domestic short hair black & white female cat. HISTORY Chip came from a bad home, and was a nervous girl. She didn't take long to warm up to her loving foster carers, who brought her out of her shell and helped her relax. She was in a FVA home until circumstances changed and she had to be returned to a foster home, through no fault of her own. She was later adopted, but after a couple of years when her family had to go overseas unexpectedly, she returned to care with IFR. She is now looking for her forever home. TEMPERAMENT Chip doesn't do too well with change, but previously when she settled in her home she would become a playful, loving girl who was very attached to her foster sister Xena. She has a bit of a mischievous streak, and in some photos where her foster sister is sitting regally, Chip is going a little wacky in mid-play. She's an affectionate girl but in recent times with her world being turned upside down (a return to foster care after years of being adopted), Chip has changed her tune. She isn't coping around other cats anymore, and we feel she may do best as an only cat. She did get along very well with the young children in some of her previous homes. LIKES / DISLIKES In the past we would have said there wasn't much Chip dislikes, but now we can say that she hates her life being turned upside down after years of being settled. She likes hanging out with her humans (the ones she has got to know), but may take some time to adjust to a change in environment. IDEAL HOME We would love Chip to go to a home with a secure cat run that she can access, so she can get a taste of the outdoors without being able to roam.
