Riki and Gilmore are wondering:
Are you coming to adoption day this Saturday?
They will be at Cemetery Road Cranbourne from 11am-1pm

However they'd prefer a meet in greet at their foster home in Brunswick West. Then you get to see their true personalities shine!

Gilmore is a hilarious tuxedo. Aside from always looking electrocuted, he is known to be super playful- always zooming around and playing with the other kittens. When he's tired he'll come for cuddles.
He's being desexed today and will be available to adopt from Thursday. (He's had 2 vaccinations).

Riki is a sweet and smart tortie. She's always curled up in the foster carer's lap. Her love language is definitely quality time!

After a bustling morning at the my client, I returned home to tackle adding new cat profiles on the computer. With still half left to go, it's a task that calls for dedication. Don't forget to visit our website at www.2ndchancecatrescue.com.au to meet these lovely cats and kittens.
Juggling this workload solo has made our page a bit quiet this week.
Did you realize that on some days, my unpaid work for 2nd Chance Cat Rescue stretches to a 15-hour day? And that's not even counting the late-night feedings for the baby kittens. It truly is a labour of love.

From 11am to 1pm tomorrow (Saturday the 1st), come down to Cemetery Road Cranbourne (opposite the cemetery) to meet some wonderful cats and kittens.

Or apply and arrange meet and greets if you can't make it. Not coming this week (but coming next week!) are these two kitties:

Blossom- a really young mama surrendered from rough home. All her kittens passed away, but she became an amazing surrogate. Affectionate, loves food, and is hilarious on catnip.
https://www.petrescue.com.au/listings/1089021

Rhea- a sweet kitten from a hoarder house. All her family is known for their purrfect personalities. She is a cuddle bug.
https://www.petrescue.com.au/listings/1098217

(You'll be able to spot the foster carer nursing a big cup of coffee if you want to find out more about them or the other kitties back home!)

You can apply now to get first dibs, or come chat on the day

MY PROFILE:

**Assisted Rehoming** $150 Adoption fee
Rosie is longing for a laid back and quiet home where she can relax, and settle. She wants to be your best friend and needs someone to provide her with a safe and loving home.

Meet Rosie – A Sweet and Playful Companion Looking for a Quiet Home!

Rosie is a beautiful and affectionate cat whose playful and loving side truly shines when she feels safe. She makes the cutest chirpy noises when she’s happy, weaves around our legs for attention, and sometimes gives playful little whacks to get us to engage with her. She also loves sneaky games at night—peeking around corners and running away as if she wants to be chased! Her absolute favorite toy is string—she goes absolutely nuts for it!

While Rosie enjoys affection on her terms, she isn’t a fan of being picked up and will swipe out of fear if handled in a way that makes her uncomfortable. She needs a patient adopter who will respect her boundaries and allow her to come to them when she’s ready.

Rosie is independent and content spending the day lounging on her bed or birdwatching from the window. At night, she gets the zoomies, racing around the house and chirping to herself.

Due to a tough past, Rosie struggles with other pets and needs to be the only animal in the home. She also finds busy environments overwhelming, so a calm and quiet home without young children would be best. She may take time to warm up to new people, but once she trusts you, she will show you her sweet and playful side.

If you’re looking for a quirky, independent cat who will keep you entertained with her playful antics and reward your patience with love, Rosie might just be the perfect companion for you!

Rosie’s Ideal Home:

✅ No other pets

✅ No young children

✅ A calm, quiet environment, indoor only (or with access to outside secure enclosure)

✅ An adopter who respects her space and doesn’t mind that she doesn’t like being picked up

✅ A patient person willing to give her time to settle

Are you craving kitten snuggles?
Both Nova (tuxedo) and Riki (tortie/white) excel at cuddles.

NOVA (chip: 956000016266799)
https://www.petrescue.com.au/listings/1050204
She has been in foster care and up for adoption since she was a little kitten. The only reason we can think of why she hasn't been adopted is because she's a black cat.
Nova is super snuggly and sweet. She'll chirp at you if you say her name, before rolling over for a tummy pat.
She's the best bathroom companion you could ever ask for, and just wants to be near you and love you.

RIKI (chip: 956000016015457)
https://www.petrescue.com.au/listings/1095376
Was found as a week old premature baby in a construction site with her more developed litter mates.
Much like Nova, she enjoys being constantly near you and getting cuddles. She'll curl up by your side and purr into you, even if you're ignoring her!
She's such a happy little girl, and has a favourite toy she'll carry around and play with.

Meet our newest Members of 2nd Chance Cat Rescue.
Adoption fee $600.- each

These 2 young ladies will be listed as an assisted rehoming.
Sasha Date of Birth 09/11/2017 Chip 953010002280822 with Pure breed Certificate.
Cleo Date of Birth 21/2/2018 Chip 900079000335279

After their lion cuts in January, Cleo's fur inexplicably darkened, a puzzling transformation from her usual light hues on her paws, face, and tail. Despite this unexpected turn, Sasha and Cleo, the two stunning Ragdoll cats, are in search of a loving new home. Sasha, the blue mitted point, celebrated her seventh birthday in November, while Cleo, the chocolate point beauty, marked her milestone just this February. Now, these charming felines are ready to bring joy and companionship to a new family.

Sleepy Rhea says hello!

This cutie is now ready for adoption ❤️

Rhea comes from a family of cats that are extremely well known in the rescue for their amazingly affectionate and sweet personalities.

These pictures were taken today when she curled up next to the foster carer during work.
(There was many blankets but she chose the paper towel)

She is so full of love and would be an awesome addition to your home!

Sweet Riki is available for adoption!

This little purr machine is super sweet and full to the brim with love.
(As the foster carer is writing this, she is curled up against my leg. Best work buddy ever. First photo was taken right before she fell asleep)

She was found in a construction site with her siblings but luckily we had surrogate mum's who took on the babies happily.

About 2nd Chance Cat Rescue..

Founded in 2011, 2nd Chance Cat Rescue is a not-for-profit organisation dedicated to the rescue, rehabilitation and re-homing of abandoned, stray and surrendered kittens and cats. Our rescue is run entirely by volunteers in the south-eastern suburbs of Melbourne.

2nd Chance Cat Rescue has a pro-life approach, with well over 2000 feral/stray and abandoned kittens successfully socialised and re-homed. We have found that even the most apprehensive or timid animals can become wonderful companions if enough quality time is spent with them and our carers go to great lengths in doing so. All potential owners are screened using a comprehensive questionnaire designed to ensure that the cats and kitten(s) are suited to their new environment and owners before leaving 2nd Chance Cat Rescue. All our cats and kittens available for adoption are listed on https://www.petrescue.com.au/groups/10215/2nd-Chance-Cat-Rescue

Our rescue relies on the support and generosity of all of our followers. Donations can be made via GiveNow https://www.givenow.com.au/2ndchancecatrescue

Purchase your wine online through https://goodwillwine.com.au/charities/2nd-chance-cat-rescue and they donate 50% of the profits back to us!
