About Papi
Papi is a small kitten but full of cuddle power. Despite her size she purrs like a lawn mower and zooms about her rescue room. She plays with toys but seems more interested in getting scratches, pets, sitting on top of you, and falling asleep against your face. Her small size is due to having had a severe case of cat flu when surrendered to us. The vets had given her strong antibiotics and a high-calorie diet to get her up to a healthy weight but she'll probably be a smaller cat forever (is that a bad thing?). She's 100% healthy besides being FVC positive.
We adore Papi (short for Papillion, which means 'butterfly' in French) - whoever gets to keep her will be in love forever.
Along with his 4 brothers and sisters, she was born into a loving house and then surrendered to us to help with their adoption, so she isn't a street cat by any means. We don't know their exact ages but the vet estimated about 8-months-old. All these guys are up for adoption and you can meet them together at their rescue room at our address in Hazelbrook, NSW. They are available for adoption individually or in pairs.
Medical notes
Please note that Papi had gunky eyes and was diagnosed with FHV1 when we rescued her. This is a common flu virus in street cats. Although we can fully treat their symptoms and their symptoms might never occur again, the virus is incurable and may spike up again in the future. This can lead to irritated eyes or a respiratory infection, so if either of those occur she'll need to see a vet for antibiotics.

Adoption details
The adoption process begins when the interested party sends forward an Expression of Interest application. William will then assesses their home for suitability. If William feels the adopter's home and the adopter are suitable, the adopter may liaise with the foster carer to organise a meet and greet at the foster carer's house. We do not take the cat/kitten out of their known environment for meet and greets. William will ask the foster carer for feedback on the adopters’ suitability.
If the interested party is suitable, William will organise all adoption paperwork and monies, and commence the adoption trial.
The adoption trial is a 2-week period that may only begin once the animal has passed its adopter's suitability check, a veterinary health check, has current vaccination paperwork, a desexing certificate, and flea/worm treatment. The behaviour of the animal is also observed and assessed before making them available for adoption to help ensure that the animal is appropriate for adoption and to determine the behavioural needs of the animal.
Once the adoption trial has succeeded and the owner is satisfied to keep the animal, a second house visit is carried out with the animal's paperwork handed over to the new owner.
