Peanut - Located in Narre Warren South

Peanut suffers from Cerebellar hypoplasia, a neurological disorder where his cerebellar is slight under developed.
It affects his balance, so he walks and runs with a bit of a wobble and can fall over when he becomes unbalanced.
Peanut's condition is not infectious, but will affect him for life.
He needs to be kept indoors only, and needs a special type of litter tray as his balance issues make it harder to go to the toliet.
Peanut needs a larger litter tray with 3 high sides and one low side/opening as he finds in hard getting in and out. But needs the high sides to prevent him falling out or missing the tray when he goes.
He just sometimes falls over and would require a bigger box with a lower opening but high sides. The litter tray also needs to be cleaned 2-3 times a day for good hygiene, so that Peanut isnt falling over into dirty litter.

WORLDWIDE CAT VACCINE SHORTAGE

There is currently a worldwide shortage of cat vaccines and supplies are unlikely to be replenished until early 2024. This is due to complicated supply problems post-COVID. Our vets have limited, and in some cases no supplies available, but are prioritising kittens and previously unvaccinated Cats wherever possible.

Kittens are at the highest risk as their level of protection is very low after the initial protection provided by the mother’s antibodies. While protection will wane a little over time, a delay up to three months is unlikely to result in a significant reduction in levels of protection. It is anticipated that clinics should have regular supplies early in the new year to bring your cat back up to date.

First Vaccination completed

We will try to provide at least 1 vaccination, depending on our supplies of vaccines available, however boosters may become overdue. In this case it is your responsibility to contact your vet as soon as supplies become available. We will not be re-imbursing any of this costs.

We require all cats and kittens to be indoors only and not allowed outside. This is especially important now as there is a risk of coming into contact with unknown cats who may not be vaccinated.

No Vaccination completed

Where we are unable to provide any vaccination during their time in care with us, please contact us on 0459779888 or via email to samantha@neko.org.au, and we will arrange for one vaccination to be done at one of our partnering clinics as soon as supplies are available. Boosters after this will be your responsibility.

Please note that should you choose to utilise your own clinic, we will not be re-imbursing any costs. This is your responsibility.
