About Ziggy
Ziggy is an orphaned kitten we rescued at about 8 weeks old. Despite some initial shyness, he can be super fun and playful with toys, very food motivated, and becomes a snuggle bug with pets that he seems desperate for because he didn't have a mummy cat around him on the street. Being still a young kitten, you can expect shyness initially, but it'll evaporate with time and he still always has had a delightful temperament and a lot of love. He is curious, able to trust, and once he does, he'll love bonding and scratches and purrs like a lawnmower to belly rubs. He would do best in a home where he can patiently get comfortable and learn to trust, like a quiet home without young children. He would do well with another kitten, and we recommend finding another kitten within 1 year old because he is very social with the other adult cats in our shelter - they just need more time before we can list them for adoption.
Medical notes
No health issues. Regularly health checked at Selwood House Vet Hospital & Fairfield Road Vet Hospital (medical records available on request and lifetime discount at those vets). Vaccinated twice, microchipped, desexed. No symptoms of viruses.

Adoption details
Begin by reading our adoption FAQs on our website, here:
https://hazelbrookcatshelter.com.au
If you’d like to proceed, fill out an adoption application on our website. Tell us about yourself and the type of cat(s) you are looking for. Feel free to list specific cats that you are interested in, but it is not necessary. Our goal is to be a matchmaker and help you find the right cat for your family and lifestyle.
If we approve your application, will then arrange a video house interview with one of our adoption councillors. This goes for about 15 minutes.
We then arrange a time to meet the cat in person, either at our shelter or their home with their foster carer. Please note we do not move cats from their known environmnent for a meeting.
If all goes well, you can complete the adoption agreement form and pay the adoption fee.
Once the adoption fee has been received, you can take your cat home and begin your 2-week adoption trial.
During this trial, you may return the cat for any reason. Medical expenses will also be covered by our charity. 50% of the adoption fee can be returned if the adoption trial doesn’t work out. It is our requirement that all cats are vaccinated, microchipped, desexed, and flea-and-worm protected prior to this trial, with all their paperwork handed over when collecting your cat.
We provide support as needed around introducing a new cat to your home.
