Shaggy needs a foster carer
About Shaggy
🍀 Meet Shaggy: A Gentle Soul Seeking a Patient & Peaceful Home 🍀
Microchip: 991003002917245
Location: Chester Hill, NSW
Rehoming Number: R25100267
Shaggy is a beautiful 3-year-old cat who has overcome immense challenges and is now ready for a truly special forever home. This sweet boy had a very rough start, arriving with severe health issues and a traumatic past that has left him feeling confused and shy.
Despite his past, Shaggy is a sweetheart at heart. He lives with FIV but manages it well. He loves head scratches and yearns for companionship, thriving best with other friendly, calm cats who won't bully him. A quiet household with one or two patient adults would be his ideal sanctuary, allowing him to feel truly safe and cherished. With his FIV status, he would be best suited in being the only cat or with other FIV+ cats.
Shaggy is still learning to trust humans, which means he'll need an understanding family. He doesn't mind other cats (though he prefers calm companions) and uses his litter tray perfectly. While he doesn't purr or meow, his quiet presence is full of gentle love.
Important Considerations for Shaggy's Home:
Due to his past and long fur, Shaggy struggles with self-grooming, particularly around his underbelly and back, which can cause painful matting. He needs regular, professional grooming from an experienced groomer to keep him comfortable and healthy. He is sensitive to brushing due to previous pain, so patience and a gentle approach are key.
Shaggy needs a home where his unique needs are understood and met with consistent care and affection. With the right environment, this gentle boy promises to blossom and bring immense peace and quiet love to his new family.

Medical notes
Shaggy has FIV. Many FIV+ cats can live long, happy, and relatively healthy lives with proper care and management. He would be best suited in being the only cat or with other FIV+ cats.
Adoption details
At Furever After Rescue Incorporated, our mission is to find Furever Loving Homes for every pet we rescue. We ensure a perfect match by placing our cats in suitable indoor environments, either strictly indoors or indoors with a secure outdoor enclosure. This protects both your cat, and the local wildlife.
Our thorough adoption process includes:
Adoption form: Provides us with essential information about your lifestyle and suitability for cat ownership.
Phone interview: Allows us to discuss your expectations and answer any questions you may have.
Video or physical house inspection: Ensures your home provides a safe and comfortable environment for the cat.
Adoption fee: Helps cover the costs of veterinary care for our rescued animals.
2-week trial period: Gives you and the cat time to adjust and bond before finalizing the adoption.
As of July 2021, the adoption of desexed animals from a registered rehoming organization like Furever After Rescue Incorporated means you'll receive free lifetime registration for your new pet. Furever After Rescue Incorporated is a designated registered pet rescue organization with the Office of Local Government, complying with section 88B of the Companion Animals Act 1998.
All our cats come microchipped, desexed, minimum 1st vaccination (depending on age), flea-treated, wormed and with a free NSW Lifetime Registration.
As a token of our appreciation for adopting through Furever After Rescue Inc., we offer Royal Canin (40% off) discount vouchers redeemable at participating stores and online.
We also offer Cat Rules clumping litter (buy 2 get 1 free) discount vouchers redeemable direct from our supplier.
There's no obligation to purchase, but it's a great way to start your new furry friend off on the right paw.
Ready to welcome a furry friend into your life?
Fill out our adoption form, and we'll be happy to review your application.
Please note:
1) Refunds are not provided for cats returned within the 2-week trial period as they have not been given sufficient time to adjust. $50 admin fee will apply if a refund is approved after this period. A surrender fee may also apply if you return the cat into our care later in the future.
2) Due to the number of applications coming through, we will do our best to contact you within 1-3 days of your application submission. If you don't hear from us after that timeframe, please understand your application may not have been successful this time. There is no further action on your end.
