About Foo (our 3 legged wonder kitty)
Foo *THE LAP CAT EXTRAORDINAIRE* is one of the most affectionate beings that have come through our rescue. When we heard about Foo we just knew she needed our help and we are extremely happy to be her carers and 'half-way' home.
Unfortunately, Foo was hit by a car and her injuries sustained to her back leg were so bad that she needed to have her leg removed. She had come from a home that just could not look after her post surgery and could not contain her as an inside cat which now is what she needs to be .... and so far, she is adapting perfectly to her new lifestyle and loves it!
Having 3 legs does not hinder Foo at all and she is coping really well. She is learning to adjust her balance when needed and she scratches her scratch post, jumps down with ease, and most of all she ALWAYS makes it too my lap in one bound. She is totally a LAP CAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What is Foo like with:
Other Cats- Foo has not had interaction with other cats whilst in our care as she has been healing. When she spots one from her window, she does not make a fuss, just watches he/she go by.
*always use slow introductions when adding a new feline family member into your home with other pets. You must be able to separate the newbie for a minimum for 3 days for the initial settling in period before using a slow introduction protocol*
Dogs- Foo can see a large dog from her window and she used to retreat to her bed. I think she would rather not have a inside dog to contend with but things can change being a young cat but...

Kids- Foo is quite gentle in playing with the humans so we think she will love having children to play with as long as they are gentle back so she doesn't learn to be rough. She is still young and an impressionable being :)
Inside or Outside- INSIDE CAT or access to SECURE CAT ENCLOSURE HOME ONLY.
We actually prefer all our cats to be homed as indoors only or indoors with access to a secure cat enclose outside. It is very rare that we have a cat in care that just does not get used to being contained inside. We require our foster carers to keep the animals inside, so by the time they come up for adoption they are very used to be indoors and are quite happy about it if you make indoors just as much for them as it is for you :)
There are too many dangers outside the home if they are let to roam and this is why we have their best interests at heart.
If you are planning of having an indoor/outdoor roaming cat, please let us know so we can pair you up accordingly and talk to you about obtaining Pet Insurance. Naturally, Pet Insurance is a good idea for any fur member of the family, but roaming cats tend to need it more. --- Foo's case has proved this.
Medical Notes- See medical note section :)
Location for meet and greets- Sunbury, Vic

Medical notes
Foo was desexed as a kitten.
Foo has needed to have her back leg amputated upon surrender, there was no other broken bones (luckily for Foo)
Foo was lucky to have had a series of F3 and FIV vaccinations in the past and it is a good idea to continue both vaccines. These are due in June 14 and will be covered by Second Chance Animal Rescue this year.
Foo is also microchipped
