🩺 Stanley has been treated for Tritrichomonas and is now negative. Although now he is a carrier of Tritrichomonas and may shed small parts of the virus for the rest of his life, to mitigate the risk of transmission he must be a solo pet. Stanley’s health otherwise is amazing!

He may intermittently have diarrhoea although is pretty good on a healthy stable diet.

Stanley was also treated for chronic ear infections due to his breed which has now subsided although something to note of in the future.

Its been over 9 weeks.. where's my family? 🥺

🌸 Apinae is a gentle and sweet princess who is sure to bring a touch of angelic grace to your home. With her fluffy coat and adorable personality, she is the perfect companion for those who appreciate the laid-back and affectionate nature of cats. While Apinae might be a bit timid at times, her loving heart shines through in her interactions with those she trusts.

Apinae's ideal setting is a quiet indoor environment where she can feel safe and secure. We don’t know much about Api’s past but she’s shown to be more timid around male humans then female humans. Apinae is cat friendly, making her an excellent addition to a household with other cats looking for a furry friend. While she’s not the biggest fan of dogs, her loyal and gentle demeanour more than makes up for it.

Patience is key, but once Apinae feels comfortable, she will reward you with unconditional love and a bond that's truly worth the wait. Embrace the opportunity to welcome this fluffy angel into your life, and discover the joy that comes from having a loving cat companion like Apinae 🌸.

⚡🩶ADOPT ELEKTRA!🩶⚡

Don't let her resting sad face fool you - This is an incredibly beautiful and sweet young lady. This beautiful girl has mastered the art of balancing motherhood with her own sense of independence. This talkative kitty is the perfect blend of sociability and self-reliance, making her a delightful companion for anyone who appreciates a pet with a personality. As you can see from the pictures, Elektra is a big fan of her outdoor cat enclosure (no free-ranging for this precious girl).

Elektra has been a wonderful mother to her five kittens—Morbius, Arachne, Green Goblin, Miles Morales, and Mayday—demonstrating exceptional maternal care (an incredible feat given she's just being a baby herself). Despite her dedication to family, Elektra enjoys her alone time too. She's the kind of cat who loves to observe the world around her, often found perched in a cozy spot where she can keep an eye on the household happenings.

Elektra is seeking an indoor-only home where she can continue her adventures in comfort and safety. Whether she’s watching over a bustling household or resting solo, Elektra will quickly become the heart of her new home. If you're looking for a loving cat to add warmth and character to your family, Elektra is waiting to capture your heart.

🧡Mumma Sicily ready for RNR🧡

Sicily is a rare gem—not just in personality but in color too! Only about 1 in 5 ginger cats are female, making her stunning champagne-ginger coat truly special. This divine young mum has devoted herself to raising her kittens (Ivrea and Cori), and now she’s ready for a new chapter—one filled with love, relaxation, and endless pats.

Sicily lives for snuggles and will happily curl up next to you for as long as you’ll let her. She will also meow to let you know if your pats have been insufficient to her standards. After being a wonderful mother at such a young age, she more than deserves a home where she can be spoiled and adored. She’s looking for an indoor-only, calm home where she can finally enjoy the easy life. Could Sicily be your perfect cuddle companion? 🏡💕

We are so sorry Bruno 🪽

Bruno has taken his last breath, leaving behind a world that was so cruel to him. His life, far too short, was filled with pain and struggles beyond what any creature should have to endure. We fought with everything we had to give him a chance, meticulously picking off the fly-struck eggs, slowly warming him, desperately trying to stabilise him, but it was all in vain. It was just too late.

If only we had been there sooner, if only we could have given him more time. Maybe, just maybe, things would have been different. But Bruno’s little body couldn’t withstand the toll any longer. We managed to bring him back once, but his strength was fleeting. His tiny body couldn’t hold on long enough for us to save him.

We are so, so sorry, Bruno. Your life was unfairly filled with suffering, and we wish with all our hearts that we could’ve spared you from that pain. But in the final moments, you felt the warmth of love. We hope you felt safe, and we hope that, for a brief time, you knew that you were deeply cared for.

You were a warrior, a true fighter. And now, up in the skies, there are friends waiting to greet you, to lift you up where no pain can reach. Run free now, Bruno. Run without fear or hurt, and know that your impact on this world was bigger than you’ll ever know. You’ll always be loved, always remembered. Rest in peace, sweet soul. 🤍

⚠️GRAPHIC PHOTOS⚠️INJURED NEONATE KITTEN NEEDS YOUR HELP 💔

We were heartbroken when we received the call about this tiny, precious kitten. Just born and already abandoned, he arrived in our care cold, terrified, and suffering. His tiny body is bruised and weak, and the fly strikes on him are a cruel reminder of how dire his situation is.

The most painful injury is the deep, severe laceration on his leg how or why it happened, we don’t know. We can only guess that perhaps his mother, in desperation or fear, may have bitten him too hard, either way she’s unfortunately nowhere to be found, we hope she is safe.

Bruno is barely clinging to life, with his eyes and ears still closed to the world he’s yet to see. He hasn’t even had the chance to feel the warmth of the sun or know the joy of a loving home. He’s fighting to stay alive, and we’re fighting right alongside him, offering warmth, comfort, and hope that he can pull through.

But we need your help. Bruno’s future hangs in the balance, and the care he urgently needs medical attention, nourishment, and comfort. He requires resources we simply can’t cover on our own.

Please, help us give Bruno the chance he so desperately deserves. Your donation, no matter how small, is a step toward saving this tiny life. Together, we can give him a future filled with love, warmth, and the chance to grow strong. Every moment counts, and your support could make all the difference.

Please donate, and share his story. He is counting on us, and we are counting on you. 💔❤️‍🩹
