About Meg
Meg is a playful, curious and sweet natured young lass who is looking for a furever home where she can get heaps of cuddles and bought heaps of toys! Rescued from the streets where she was alone and bewildered, she has found security and comfort in foster care where she is thriving but has found herself in a bit of a pickle in that she has been diagnosed with FIV and it seems that nobody wants to adopt her.
When first rescued it was decided that Meg should be given a chance at a new life and to receive the love and care that all puddies deserve. So we and Meg wait patiently to see if the right hooman will come along. Meg is not a fussy eater and has a hearty appetite, uses her kitty litter without fail, and generally likes to spend her time playing with her toys, having a snooze, and cuddling up. She is very easy going and non demanding and loves a patt and a cuddle. She has a beautiful soft minky coat.
We think Meg would suit a home with couples or singles, maybe families with older children. Being an easy going lass, meg would fit in nicely.
Meg is desexed, microchipped (with lifetime registration), fully vaccinated, and up to date with her flea and worm treatments.

Medical notes
Meg has been diagnosed by the vet with being FIV positive. She is FeLV negative. It is suspected she has contracted this while living on the streets after being quite probably dumped, it was apparent to us she was not born on the streets. So what does this mean?
Feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV) attacks the immune system and is transmitted via cat bites, and transmission is very low to miniscule via other means such as shared bowls, bedding. FIV cannot be transmitted to humans. Though there is no cure for FIV, cats with FIV commonly live healthy, normal and average life spans without any signs or symptoms of illness while in the asymptomatic phase. As they get older, this may change and they require some supportive measures when there is a chance of immune deficiency increasing and being vulnerable to other infections like cat flu. On the other hand, this may never eventuate, and the cat stays in the asymptomatic phase. Meg is currently healthy with no obvious symptoms. So keeping Meg's immune system healthy is very important and consists of a good quality diet and stress free lifestyle.
Meg can live in the same home with another cat or cats but these cats would need to be fully vaccinated for FIV as while transmission is rare (needs to be through a bite) it is a precaution. Should you require any further information, we are more than happy to provide this, plus please see below...

Adoption details
All our cats and kittens have been rescued from various situations, and are living in foster care around Sydney. The animals are vet checked, healthy, desexed, microchipped, vaccinated (1st, 2nd or fully vaccinated), and flea and worm treated. Kittens are adopted from 8 weeks of age. Any kittens adopted at this age, a desexing voucher and follow-up occurs to have the kitten desexed when older which we co-ordinate. We charge a nominal adoption fee to help cover our costs and to assist other cats and kittens in need. People are welcome to meet the cats and kittens if interested. A 2 to 4 week trial adoption period applies on all adoptions and phone and/or visiting support is available if the need arises.
