About Shelby
🐾 Meet Shelby - The hammock king 🐾
🆔 Microchip: 991003002621422
📅 DOB: 14.01.2024
♂️ Gender: Male
🎨 Colour: Tabby with a white chest
🐱 Breed: Domestic Short Hair
📍 Location: Campsie, NSW
Shelby is a delightful tabby with awesome white socks and chest. From his humble beginnings as a stray, he has blossomed into a snack-loving snuggle bug ready to find his forever home. Initially reserved, he quickly warms up with gentle pats and, of course, a little food. His foster carer has learned that lickimats are the key to slowing down his enthusiastic eating habits.
This young man enjoys supervising the world from his favourite perch and will chase a ribbon bell toy. He can be quite vocal when he wants something, earning him the affectionate title of a "grumpy old man in a teenage cat's body". Shelby is curious yet shy and prefers not to be the centre of attention, but with a calm, patient family, he will continue to grow in confidence.
✅ All Kittie Kat Rescue Inc. cats are:
✔️ Vaccinated
✔️ Microchipped
✔️ Desexed
✔️ Litter trained
✔️ Flea & worm treated
Shelby is looking for a serene space to continue his journey. Could it be with you?

Adoption details
Adopting with Kittie Kat Rescue Inc.
Bringing a new pet into your home is a long-term commitment—both emotionally and financially. Cats can live 15 to 20 years, so it's essential that all family members are prepared to provide love, shelter, and a safe environment for their lifetime. This includes premium nutrition, regular veterinary care, and ensuring they are kept indoors only or have access to a secure, cat-proof outdoor enclosure.
Our Adoption Process:
-Initial Contact & Questionnaire. We’ll start by sending you our adoption questionnaire via email or text message. This helps us understand your home environment and what you're looking for in a feline companion.
-Video Tour. We will require a video tour of your home, focusing on safety features such as secure screens on windows, doors and balconies. Plus, we’d love to see where your new kitty will be set up in their new home!
-Meet & Greet with the Foster Carer. Once your application is complete and approved, we’ll arrange a time for you to meet the cat with their foster carer.
-Adoption & Bringing Your Cat Home. In some cases, if your application is approved and the cat has completed all their vet work, they can go home with you straight after the meet and greet (an adoption fee is payable). Adoption paperwork will follow.
-Settling-In Period & Adoption Finalisation. Every adoption includes a two-week settling-in period from the time of adoption. If, for any reason, your new cat isn’t the right fit for your home, you can return them within this period for a 50% refund of the adoption fee.
-All of our cats come microchipped, desexed, with one or more vaccinations, and will be lifetime registered. Depending on their age, kittens may need their second (and potentially third) vaccination undertaken by the adopter after adoption. The transfer of ownership is completed as soon as possible.
Adoption fees:
-Kittens: $350
-Cats 1 - 3 Years: $275
-Cats 3 Years+: $200
All adoptions will also carry a lifetime registration/admin fee of $50 on top of the above adoption price.
