About Bethany - Located in Lower Templestowe
Hi there! My name is Bethany, and I'm a quirky and fashionable cat who is looking for my forever home. I'm a one-of-a-kind kitty who prefers to be the only cat in the house. I'm not one for sharing attention, you see.
When it comes to personality, I'm a bit of a diva. I love to be the center of attention and I'll do just about anything to get it. But don't worry, I'm also very loving and affectionate. I have a super loud purr and I love nothing more than a good head massage. I'll nuzzle my head into your hand and purr away, it's my absolute favorite thing in the world.
As for my fashion sense, well, let's just say I'm a trendsetter. I love to accessorize and I always look my best. You'll often find me lounging on the windowsill, watching the world go by and showing off my latest collar or bow tie.
I'm hoping to find a home with someone who understands my quirks and loves me for who I am. I promise to be your loyal companion and to always keep you entertained with my antics. If you're looking for a one-of-a-kind cat who will bring a lot of love and joy into your life, I'm the girl for you!
(Bethany is a diabetic, please read the medical information before applying.)

Medical notes
Diabetes in cats is a condition that occurs when the body cannot properly regulate blood sugar levels. This can happen when the pancreas doesn't produce enough insulin or when the body becomes resistant to insulin. We believe Bethany was bitten by a snake from which she has recovered however has caused diabetes.
Managing diabetes in cats involves a combination of diet, exercise, and insulin therapy. Our veterinarian has created a customised treatment plan for Bethany based on her individual needs. This includes regular insulin injections and food monitoring.
Diabetic cats are often overlooked for adoption, which means that they may be harder to adopt out. However, they can make wonderful pets with proper care and attention. In fact, caring for a diabetic cat can be a rewarding experience. By adopting a diabetic cat, you're providing them with a loving home and the care they need to manage their diabetes. Plus, they can be just as playful and affectionate as any other cat! With the right care, a diabetic cat can live a happy and healthy life.
WORLDWIDE CAT VACCINE SHORTAGE
There is currently a worldwide shortage of cat vaccines and supplies are unlikely to be replenished until early 2024. This is due to complicated supply problems post-COVID. Our vets have limited, and in some cases no supplies available, but are prioritising kittens and previously unvaccinated Cats wherever possible.
Kittens are at the highest risk as their level of protection is very low after the initial protection provided by the mother’s antibodies. While protection will wane a little over time, a delay up to three months is unlikely to result in a significant reduction in levels of protection. It is anticipated that clinics should have regular supplies early in the new year to bring your cat back up to date.
First Vaccination completed
We will try to provide at least 1 vaccination, depending on our supplies of vaccines available, however boosters may become overdue. In this case it is your responsibility to contact your vet as soon as supplies become available. We will not be re-imbursing any of this costs.
We require all cats and kittens to be indoors only and not allowed outside. This is especially important now as there is a risk of coming into contact with unknown cats who may not be vaccinated.
No Vaccination completed
Where we are unable to provide any vaccination during their time in care with us, please contact us on 0459779888 or via email to samantha@neko.org.au, and we will arrange for one vaccination to be done at one of our partnering clinics as soon as supplies are available. Boosters after this will be your responsibility.
Please note that should you choose to utilise your own clinic, we will not be re-imbursing any costs. This is your responsibility.
