About

We prioritise cats and kittens with disabilities, medical conditions, neurological issues, neglect cases, animals needing rehabilitation, neonatal and orphaned kittens, pregnant and nursing mothers, and other animals in genuine need.

William

Domestic Short Hair Cat

Playful and happy man

AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION WILLIAM ❤❤ Age - 10 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 - $99 Medical Notes - William came into our care with an ulcer in his left eye. He has been to the eye specialist and has had a surgical procedure on his eye to remove the damaged ulcerated part of his eye. His eye is healing well after surgery and is nearly completely normal again. 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 wouldn't heal with topical medications. We took him to the eye specialist where he had surgery to help heal the ulcer. His ulcer is now completely healed and he just has some minor scarringstill to finish healing. 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.

Jasper

Domestic Short Hair Cat

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 🐾
