On Hold
About Sprite. Gentle soul inside a tough exterior
Sprite just had her 2yr rescue anniversary in April and suddenly, without any warning or the usual development steps we see in scared cats, is allowing us to pat her like its the most normal thing in the world!
We're thrilled for her, she's one of our toughest cats to crack in terms of rehabilitation and we weren't sure we be able to get through to her, but it appears by how she's allowing and enjoying full body strokes that she's wanted our attention and affection for some time! Occasionally we have cats come in who are such sensitives souls that street life almost breaks them, they shut down and it takes a very long time to break through the barriers they put up. Sprite is one of them and it is so heartwarming to see her finally enjoying the things we can offer her, and feeling and acting like a normal, relaxed cat :)
In a foster or forever home Sprite will go backwards temporarily while her system adjusts to the change, but with your patience and love as well as some guidance from us she'll blossom into a deeply bonding, couch snoozing, cuddle bunny <3
Medical notes
You may notice in Sprite's pics that her right eye is smaller than her left. This has been assessed by our vet and there's nothing physically wrong with it and it doesn't irritate her at all, its just a smaller eyeball :)

Some more info about us:
Sunny Days began in 2017 and runs a self funded rehab shelter for stray cats in Lara, halfway between Melbourne and Geelong, Victoria. 90% of the animals rehomed through Sunny Days are rescued and rehabilitated ‘true stray’ cats; cats who’ve grown up wild, with very little or no experience with humans. To our knowledge there is no other rescue group or shelter in Australia specialising solely in the medical and psychological rehabilitation of stray and feral cats.
Our aim is to rescue, humanely rehabilitate and appropriately rehome cats and kittens who would otherwise be ignored, hit by cars, baited, euthanised or die alone of illness or hunger. We see each cat as an individual, requiring it's own individualised rehoming program and the right type of home for their level of rehab and temperament. We also provide support to local cat owners who require assistance to desex and provide a safe home for their cat, and actively work with the community, vet clinics and other industry professionals to decrease the stray cat problem.
_________________________________________________________________________________
Our shelter runs at a loss due to the type of animals we take in - terrified cats who need months if not years of care, and often hundreds more in medical treatment than we can adopt them out for. Shelter running costs are about $1600 p/month. We fund this excess out of our own pockets because we believe the cats deserve a chance. If you could help us cover some of these costs we’d be hugely grateful! Please see below for ways you can contribute <3
* A once off, or small monthly transfer to our account below to assist us with shelter running costs and medical care. Account: Sunny Days / 063512 / 10988226.
