About Amlo - Located in Northcote
Amlo loves to greet your guests and patiently waits for a cuddle from them. She is extremely affectionate and easy going - she loves people of all ages - and dogs and other cats too.
Her main occupation is to curl up on your lap while you watch tv or next to you in bed. She is never too far from you, just in case you are ready for cuddle time.
She loves to chase ping-pong balls, she can be busy for hours zooming around the room. She needs very little to be content and she’ll give you all of her love.
Amlo is a toothless fairy - she had gingivitis as a kitten and has only her canines and incisors left. This massively improved her condition and she’s otherwise happy and healthy.
Perfect for any family, kids, dogs, cats…she loves everybody...simply the perfect cat.
See “Medical Notes” for any health issues.

We are unable to hold a cat for you if you are not ready to adopt.
IMPORTANT NOTE - COVID19 PRACTICES
Due to the current lockdown in Melbourne we need to do things a little differently!
Once you have applied for a cat, our foster carer will contact you by telephone.
If at the end of this discussion you would like to progress we will then arrange an online meet and greet with the carer and cat.
If you think this cat might be your PURRFECT match we will be utilising our premises at Neko HQ in Preston for the final meet and greet and if agreed adoption.
Our carers are unable to have a guest in their homes.
We ask that only one person from the family attend, and that all COVID safe practices are followed to ensure your health and that of our volunteers as well as the general community.
We thank you for your patience throughout this process.
All funds raised at Neko HQ are to benefit Maneki Neko Cat Rescue.

Medical notes
The adoption fee includes desexing, microchip, current vaccination, flea and worm treatment while in care. No health issues unless listed below.
Amlo has a condition called juvenile gingivitis. This is an autoimmune or allergic condition in kittens where they develop severe inflammation and redness around the teeth. In kittens, this is thought to be caused by the initial eruption of the teeth coming through.
In some cats this condition can be managed while the cat grows and the redness will gradually disappear. If this happens, it normally occurs at around 24 months of age.
In other cats it can be a more persistent problem. Inflammation can spread around the mouth and is called stomatitis. If this occurs, this requires more intensive dental care of even tooth extractions.
Unfortunately there is no sure cure for Amlo's condition, but with time and home care it may resolve. Cats with juvenile stomatitis require mouth washes and special dental diets, as well as frequent dental cleaning at the vets (every 2-6 months.)
Due to Amlo's juvenile gingivitis, she has had most of her teeth removed with her incisors and canines remaining.
Maneki Neko Cat Rescue would like to help ensure you and your new companion have a long and happy life together.
If you should find that you are not a purrfect match - or if you need to rehome your cat at any stage of its life - Maneki Neko Cat Rescue will take the cat back into care and find a new home.
Maneki Neko Cat Rescue provides a 7 day health warranty on all adoptions.
Although all our cats and kittens are health checked prior to adoption, sometimes the stress of a new environment can upset their immune system.
