About Shelby
😽😽Shelby oh Shelby😽😽
Shelby gets a lot of interest because she is just stunning. But Shelby has had a hard life. She was abandoned by her previous owners when they just packed up and left her. She was pregnant and homeless. Thankfully her neighbours saw her and took her in and contacted us.
She came in just before she gave birth. The birth was nothing but simple. 3 kittens were born and then it all stopped. We rushed her to the vets where they induced her and she had a still born. Then she had to have an emergency c section. There were two further babies. One had already died and one was born but extremely premature. Little star died 3 days later. Shelby then had on going mastitis whilst feeding. But she never stopped caring for her 3 surviving babies.
Her 3 babies have since been adopted together, but Shelby is still in care.
She doesn’t understand what it is to be loved and doesn’t trust. She is getting better but she just wants to be left to do what she wants and that’s ok with us. She can be affectionate, in fact she loves nothing more then to do your hair and give you the latest hair style. When we get home she is the first one to greet us, and is happy to just be around you.
We are slowly cracking her with food. She LOVES her food and become extremely sweet if you have ham or chicken. she is still very playful and loves chasing toys. She has a huge personality and finds the most interesting places to sleep which keeps us entertained, and started the if Shelby fits, Shelby sits posts. She would be best as a solo cat as she is an alpha female and we think she will relax more if she is the only feline.
Basically Shelby just needs someone who accepts her for who she is. Is that you??

3. Meet the cat/s
We'll arrange a meet and greet, with the cats, at the foster carers home. Each cat available for adoption is currently living with one of our amazing foster carers, located all over Sydney. The suburb for each cat is labelled on the cat's profile page.Â
Â
4. home inspection
If all parties are happy, we will then arrange a home inspection. This is to ensure the information provided is genuine and the cats have a suitable home. Please note that all volunteers work full time so in most cases it will be after work hours or weekends, depending on your location.
Â
5. finalising vet Work
All cats are adopted out desexed, vaccinated up to date and microchipped. depending on the cat's age, condition rescued or time since rescuing, the vet work may not be complete.
Â
6. pay deposit
A non refundable deposit of $100.00 will be required to hold any cat. Please note we do not hold cats if you are unable to take the cat when it is ready. If you are not ready at the moment, please only apply once you are ready.
Â
7. pay the remaining balanceÂ
Typically, this is $150 as we charge a total of $250 for each cat adopted. This fee contributes towards the vet bills & care since rescue.Â

8. START YOUR TRIAL ADOPTIONÂ
All cats are adopted out on a 2 week trial adoption to make sure it is the right fit for everyone.
We reserve the right to decline any applications.
