About Baloo ~ 14 week old (on trial 24/7/2021)
This guy is the whole package deal. He goes from full of energy running laps through the house keeping us entertained, to cuddling up with the grown up cats or having pats and snuggling with his humans.
This guy came from a colony so is extremely social with other cats but had had little socialisation with humans. He has been in foster care a little over a month and has made huge progress in that time however he still does not like being picked up and can be hand shy if you move too fast towards him. He will however, willingly come up for pats, chin scratches, and lap sits if he does it in his own time (which usually isn’t too long).
As Baloo came from a big colony where he was very accustomed to being with other cats, he will need to be adopted with his brother Mowgli or into a family that has another cat. Baloo would happily integrate into a family with an older cat or one of a similar age but he isn’t super playful so an older friendly cat would be fine. Mowgli’s profile can be found here if you are interested in adopting Baloo with his brother: https://www.petrescue.com.au/listings/861654
Since being in care, Baloo has only been around children over 10 years old and given his aversion to loud noises he would need to go to a home with older children or none at all. Baloo has been around some dogs briefly and after learning they didn’t mean him any harm, he was fine with them but any dogs in his new home would need to be calm.
He is litter trained, desexed, vaccinated and excitedly waiting for his forever home.
Cats and kittens adopted from Dog Rescue Newcastle must be inside only unless you have a cat enclosure that they can have some outside time in.
Baloo is in foster care in Birmingham Gardens and his adoption fee is $250 or $450 with his brother Mowgli which covers microchipping, first vaccination, and desexing.

Adoption details
(1) The first step is to fill in our online Adoption Questionnaire:
https://form.jotform.co/93127959159875
(2) If the questionnaire is approved we will arrange a property check so we
can verify that your home and yard are suitable for the pet you've applied for.
(3) After that we will arrange for you to meet the pet, usually at the foster
carer's home, nearby park or your home.
(4) If both sides agree, then you can pay for and adopt your new family
member! The two week trial begins on the day of adoption.
