Fritz

Domestic Short Hair

Smoochy tortie girl

AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION FRITZ ❤❤❤ Age - 18 weeks Gender - Female Breed - Domestic short hair Cat Friendly - Yes Dog Friendly - Yes Child Friendly - Untested but would be fine Smooch Scale - Very smoochy! Location - Deception Bay 4508 Adoption Fee - $180 Medical Notes - Fritz will be desexed next week and ready to leave for her forever home next weekend. Gorgeous little Fritz arrived into our care a couple of weeks ago after she was sprung from death row in a northern Qld pound. She was on her own in the pound, a bit underweight, and suffering from flea allergies around her neck. Fritz settled into foster care quickly, and was happy to have some new kitten foster friends to play and sleep with. Fritz is a very smoochy girl who loves laying all over her humans demanding love and affection. She's a very social girl who wants to be right in on the action and exploring all new things. Fritz would suit a home with another cat to give her company, and even some human siblings to keep her entertained. She is also well socialised with dogs and lives with a gentle staffy.

Jasper

Domestic Short Hair

Gentle soul

AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION JASPER ❤❤ Breed - Domestic short hair Gender - Male Cat Friendly - Yes loves other cats and must go to a home with another kitty companion Dog Friendly - Yes Child Friendly - Not suited to a home with children Smooch Scale - Nervous, although incredibly gentle and grabs onto you and buries into you for comfort Location - Deception Bay 4508 Adoption Fee - $99 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 🐾

Samson joined our rescue back in May 2018 with his sister Sadie after being sprung from a northern pound. It took Samson a while to find his feet in rescue and feel comfortable. He is currently in care with his sister and has absolutely blossomed with the love of his foster carer. He will meow at his carers until they give him cuddles and pats, and loves snuggling at night. Once Samson trusts his new family he will be a total snuggle bunny. Samson would suit a quieter home with no children. He would love a couple or single person, who could give him lots and lots of love. He currently lives with other cats and a German Shepherd in his foster home, and would love a furry friend in his new home. Please get in touch if you would like to know more information about Samson, or to arrange a meet and greet 🐾

Arnold

Domestic Short Hair

Gentle soul

AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION ARNOLD ❤❤❤ Age - Approx 14 years Gender - Male Breed - Domestic short hair Cat Friendly - Yes. He tends to hiss in the face of a cat when he meets them and then gets over it quickly. He is currently happily living with a young male cat (Jetson). Dog Friendly - Untested so far but would need slow introductions. No boisterous dogs. Child Friendly - Untested Smooch Scale - Smoochy old man!! Loves to be with you. Location - Aspley QLD 4034 Adoption Fee - $99 Medical Notes - Arnold has an overactive thyroid and requires a tablet morning and night to keep it under control. His new owners will need to be committed to taking him for 6 monthly check ups and a blood test to make sure his thyroid levels are being kept under control. Arnold joined our rescue as a shelter transfer after being left at a rental property with some other elderly cats. His owners just upped and left him locked inside the house until real estate found him. Arnold is a really friendly old dude who is just looking for a retirement home who will spoil him for the rest of his senior years. Arnold LOVES his food, and will yell at you the minute he sees you go for his bikkies. He is a bit of a chatter box, and would suit a home with humans who are happy to listen to his chirps of affection, screams for food, and loud hellos when you have been gone for even the smallest amount of time. He will need a home who feeds him morning and night instead of unlimited food, as he will eat until he pops. Arnold would suit a settled home who have time during the day to keep him company. He wouldn't mind sharing his home with another relaxed kitty, but would also be fine living on his own. Being a senior man he doesn't have a lot of patience for things he doesn't want to do, and would prefer a home with older or no children so he can just do his own thing. Please get in touch with us if you would like to know more about our gorgeous man, or to arrange a meet and greet.
