Jasper

Domestic Short Hair

Gentle soul

AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION JASPER ❤❤ Age - 16 weeks Breed - Domestic short hair Gender - Male Cat Friendly - Yes but they will need to be gentle natured Dog Friendly - Learning Child Friendly - Not suited to a home with children Smooch Scale - Very scared, although incredibly gentle and grabs onto you and buries into you for comfort Location - Deception Bay 4508 Adoption Fee - $150 Medical Notes - Ready to leave care now Our beautiful little man "Jasper" was sprung from a northern pound after he found himself on death row because he was scared and "hard to rehome". When Jasper arrived into care he was shut down and terrified. He tried to hide from everything around him and his body froze still out of fear. After only a couple of weeks Jasper is already playing with toys, playing with the other kittens, and is okay with his foster humans gently handling him. When picked up he completely freezes and buries into your arm for support and safety. He gently holds onto your arm with his paws in hope that his humans keep him safe from this scarey world. Jasper is NOT aggressive in ANY way and is very very gentle. Jasper needs an extra special home and will remain in our care until we find the perfect forever home for him. His home must understand that Jasper will need time to settle into new environments and learn to trust his humans. He would be best suited to a quiet home with no children. He would happily live with other animals as long as they were gentle and respectful of him. Jasper is very closely bonded to his friend, and possible brother "William". William brings out Jasper's confidence and is helping to make this big change much easier for him. We would love to see both boys go to the same home, however we will also rehome them separately to the right homes ❤ Please get in touch if you would like to meet Jasper, or any of our other rescue animals 🐾

William

Domestic Short Hair

Playful and happy little man

AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION WILLIAM ❤❤ Age - 5 1/2 months Breed - Domestic short hair Gender - Male Cat Friendly - Yes Dog Friendly - Yes Child Friendly - Untested Smooch Scale - Nervous initially but warms up to you quickly and then becomes a total smoocher! Location - Deception Bay 4508 Adoption Fee - $150 Medical Notes - William came into our care with an ulcer in his left eye. This is being treated and is almost completely resolved. William joined our rescue group when he was about to be put to sleep in a northern pound for having a sore eye. We brought him down to Brisbane and got him looked at by our lovely vets. William had an eye ulcer which required some medications and an eye drop to help clear up. His eye is almost 100% now and he will be heading into our vets for his last check up before leaving our care. William was kept in isolation at the pound where he received very little interaction and socialisation with humans and other animals. You wouldn't know now though, as William is a happy little man who loves the company of other animals. He can be a little frightened when he first meets you but once he trusts you he will be your best friend. William loves curling up on the couch with you for a good tv watching session, or just a cuddle in his favourite fluffy blanket. William is in foster care with his brother Jasper who he absolutely adores. We would love to see our two boys adopted together, however he is available on his own to the perfect home.
