Comet

Comet had a rough start to life. Found abandoned in a box on the Rail Trail in Ballarat with two siblings and kittens from another younger litter, he was cold and hungry. He along with his siblings had been preyed upon by a predator and unfortunately, he a had few wounds that needed treating.

He was bottle raised and had a great appetite. But unfortunately like many neonate kittens that are bottle fed they missed the comfort of suckling on their mother. So, his brother began suckling him. This resulted in an infection that left Comet paralysed for 2 weeks.

He was treated by the amazing vet Di. The first time Comet when visited Di, I wasn’t sure that he would be coming home again. But during his examination he bit her! And she proclaimed, “he has spunk, and a lot of fight in him we have to give him a chance.” So, we did. He is a favourite patient at the vet clinic and the nurses lovingly refer to him as “spare parts kitten”.

Comet was on antibiotics for 2 weeks and started slowly moving around again. He got intensive physio and had a stringent rehab schedule. Now looking at him you wouldn’t know the trials he has been through.

Comet has been given a clean bill of health, his blood tests are amazing and he’s running around playing with all the new foster kittens.
We are unsure if Comet will have difficulties with his health later in life, so we need to be sure that whatever family takes him on, is in it for the long haul, ups and down, highs and lows, and potential vet bills included.

Comet has now been in foster care for an extended period and is ready for his forever home. He has grown up in a house with 4 children, 2 adults, 2 cats and multiple foster kittens, and a naughty dog. He is not fond of the dog but tolerates her as best he can, but they are usually kept separate.

Comet would benefit from a home with another furry companion as he has never been alone in his life.
He is sweet, curious, snuggly and playful.
Strictly indoor only.
