Sweet, gentle Hope ♡

URGENT - FOSTER HOME NEEDED FOR SWEET, GENTLE HOPE 🙏

Hope's foster carer is relocating in a matter of days and can't take Hope with her. Returning to our shelter would be hugely detrimental for Hope as she finds it extremely stressful and shuts down, spending all her time hiding which as you can see from these beautiful photos she doesn't do in a home.

If she has to come back to us it will undo all the progress made by her dedicated carer. Please, if you have a quiet home with either no pets or another gentle kitty, help this deserving little girl not suffer the immense stress of returning to us, as much as we love our shelter it's not the place for some.

To fostering, adopt, or or foster-with-view-to-adopt please contact us 🙏

She's waited years for this, please help it be her time by sharing far and wide.

Hope is a gentle, attentive girl who will wait at the door for you to come home and talk to you as you settle in for the evening. She loves to curl up next to you but her preferred way to hang out with you on the couch with you, is to climb up your body and rub her little face into yours and bow her head for forehead kisses 🥰

She also loves to lounge near you as you work or chill, and will show you her goofy side if she finds a patch of sun to roll around in or you break out the laser toy (her favourite) 🥰

ShE would love to join a family with an existing gentle cat, and being in the presence of a relaxed, happy cat in her new home will be a great help in her adjusting and learning to trust her new family.

Are you ready for kitty kisses and the prettiest Cuddle Me eyes you have ever seen? Look no further than our scaredy-turned-smoochy Hope!

💕 ABOUT OUR ORGANISATION
As well as working with dogs, Sunny Days runs Victoria's only specialised stray cat rehab facility on a rural property in Avalon, Vic. Our rehab centre operates 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and is in constant demand due to the sheer number of cats born wild, and dogs no longer wanted.

Despite this demand, we have no source of ongoing funding. Unlike public pounds who enter into contracts with local councils to be the facility responsible for housing lost animals in that municipality, volunteer-run pounds like ours do not have the option to partner with a government organisation and have the running of the shelter funded - we are left to fund our work through our own pockets and community donations. Please see below for lots of secure ways you can donate to support our work.

💕 HOW YOU CAN HELP
We receive adoption fees, however our animals are adopted out less frequently than other shelters and rescue organisations as our animals are with us for extended periods of rehabilitation. We rely on donations not only to help with immediate vet care but also to keep them fed, parasite treated, vaccinated regularly and treated for illness or injury fir the period they are with us which is often years. You can donate by clicking the pink DONATE button on this page or via the options below. Thankyou so much.

💕 OUR WORK WITH CATS
We take in full cat colonies, pregnant and nursing mothers, ophan kittens, FIV positive cats, and sick or injured cats. Cats are humanely trapped after being identified as un-owned and we support them through full rehabilitation from wild and unhandleable to fully domesticated. We don't give them deadlines to be socialised by or they'll be euthanised, we provide sanctuary for them for as long as they need.

💕 OUR WORK WITH DOGS
We take in dogs from community surrenders, booked for unnecessary euthanasia by owners but vets have intervened and contacted us, or rescued from pound death row. Most of our dogs are with us for extended periods to ensure we know them really well before putting them up for adoption, and have been assessed by professional dog trainers if not worked with extensively. We provide full discretion with adopters about dogs' health and behaviour, unlimited 24 hour support, and a month long fully refundable adoption trial to ensure dogs are given the best chance to integrate into new homes, families and lifestyles.

We also offer a lifetime guarantee to take any of our adopted cats and dogs back should something happen and their adopters are no longer able to care for them.
