Viola

** VIOLA **

Whilst HNE is primarily a rescue for deaf and other special-needs dogs and cats, sometimes we find ourselves in the position of helping some animals who don’t fit any of our ‘regular’ criteria, except for being in need…

Late one evening in January - during the insane heat wave that much of the country was suffering through - one of our Canberra team members was walking her HNE foster dog and discovered a box that had been dumped in a school car-park (during school holidays…). That box contained three kittens who were suffering the effects of being out in the heat for an unknown amount of time.

Viola is one of those kittens. She recovered from her experience of being dumped and has settled wonderfully into her foster home.

Viola - our pretty torbie - is 100% people-focused. She HAS to be involved in everything that is going on, is endearingly curious about everything and thinks that the best thing ever is to be carried around while her people are trying to go about their daily home lives. If it’s happening (whatever “it” is!), Viola has to be there. And she has to give her own chatty commentary to go along with “it”!

Viola would do well as a solo cat, do brilliantly as a joint adoption with her sister Cordelia, or would adjust to sharing her home with a respectful older cat who will give her space to settle in and adjust. She must go to an indoor-only home to ensure she lives the longest, safest life possible.

Viola would also do well in a home with a cat-savvy dog. She’s got no qualms in having a hiss at a dog who is getting too close to her, but is also happy to snuggle right up next to a dog for a shared nap.

Viola is desexed, vaccinated, microchipped, parasite treated and litter–trained. She is located in Canberra, but interstate adoption is available (transport costs are payable by the adopter).
