About Stachio & Macchiato
Look at those hairdos!
These handsome boys are ready to find their forever home Stacio & Macchiato are both longhairs, so indoor-only homes please. Stacio came to us after his parents were mis-sexed by a local pet shop, so his family made the responsible but difficult decision to surrender him into our care so the cycle of breeding could end. He was born on 3/11/25. Macchiato was born in our care on 18/1/26, and his story is much the same as his new-found buddy’s. His parents were also mis-sexed by a pet shop, though this happened all the way down in Sydney.
Ever since Stacio arrived, the pair have formed an inseparable bond. Stacio is calm and collected, but I can’t say the same for Macchiato That young fella can run! Because of this, I wouldn’t recommend them for families with very young children.
