Batty, The adorable Mini Cat will be adoption day this Saturday 15/02.
https://www.petrescue.com.au/listings/1065888

Batty is a stunning young female cat with beautiful eyes that will captivate you.
She is a tiny cat with a huge personality.

She joined our rescue from a group discovered near the local butcher shop, and while she grew up as a colony stray, her foster carers are thrilled at how well she has adapted to domestic life.
Batty will always find the most comfy spot in the house, she very much loves her new found domestic bliss.

She is very curious, her foster mumma says she is like a little shadow, she will follow you around the house wanting to know what is going on.

She is very food orientated and can be easily won over with food and treats.

She is very loving and is very open to pats and head scratches, she will give you many adorable head bumps and had the best purr.
She isnt sure about being picked up yet, but every day her confidence with her human friends is growing and her foster carers are sure she will become a lap cat in time.

Although her age is unknown our vets think she is between 1-2 years old and very small for her age, we originally thought she was about 6 months of age.

Batty is a very playful young cat, she loves laser toys and throwing around toy mice. She not only looks like a kitten, but she plays like one as well!

Are you my SPECIAL valentine?
Little Chrissy is dreaming of all the gift you could give her.
She is extremely food oriented. Hogging her food, to the point her face is covered with it and her paws are covered in food too.

Can you believe Jayce is still looking for a home?
A sweet ginger boy with 0 applications!

The sleepiest boy is pictured after a nap with his foster carer.

Jayce is shy at first with new people, but once he knows you he is super sweet. He loves pats and treats, and is always happy to cuddle up for a nap.

He gets along with all the other cats in the foster home, or would adjust to a new kitty pretty quickly.

Jayce is just a good orange boy!

Located Brunswick West

Another little kitten came in today! Was left all alone and found by a friend of one of our foster carers. Horrible cat flu and her eye is so swollen and inflamed. Some medication and food in her tummy and hopefully little Swan will be feeling a lot better soon. Around six weeks old and very skinny but she’s a snuggly sweetheart and very bright as you can see! Every little bit helps for food, medication and vet bills for kittens like Swan to prepare them for happy and healthy lives so if you’re able you can make a donation via https://2ndchancecatrescue.com.au/donate/

6 more kittens came in tonight, this 2 will be seen first thing tomorrow morning.
Can you see the massive lump under the little kittens chin!
The fur was licked off due to flea infestation.
The other little one has catflu.
All 6 got flea and worm treated, got a milbemax tablet and to top it off a capstan tablet to kill the fleas. Then some Doxy for the sick kittens.
Eyes washed and Clorsig was administered.
Hope they will feel a bit brighter in the morning. A bit worried about the massive soft lump under the chin.

Today was a busy day at work. When I got home and opened our GIVE now Monthly Remittance report, I was touched by the generosity of so many people who have opened their hearts to help our rescue. One particular kitten, Little Rondnoir, fought hard to survive but sadly succumbed to his illness. Despite this heartbreak, we are proud of his foster carer who provided unwavering support. Rondnoir's siblings also faced challenges due to their inbreeding, and we are grateful for the donations that enable us to assist more cats.

Leto!

It's hard work at the air biscuit factory! Leto is currently being desexed but will be available to adopt from Thursday. But you can apply as of now! This happy little girl is so full of love. You can look at her and she will start purring. If she could spend all day in your arms she would (even when it's 40 degrees outside, despite the foster carer's protests). She's amazing with other cats, and wants to be everybody's friend. Her aunties Missy Moo (available) and Opal (now adopted) are notorious for the same personality: extremely friendly and loving. Leto would honestly make an awesome addition to your home! As a first cat, additional cat, with kids... you name it! She's bomb proof. Apply for this cutie here: https://2ndchancecatrescue.com.au/adopting/ Source: RE117081

Last video for tonight. Gilligan and the mighty Chrissy. She is such a funny little girl. I think she is now about 5 weeks old. I'm sure she would tell me off if I say she is a baby. She thinks she is a smart BIG girl.

Adoption Day this Saturday from 11am to 1pm at Cemetery Road Cranbourne

Orion and Maia are both very "chatty" especially Orion, Purring machines as soon as you touch them. Both are still looking for their new forever homes! https://www.petrescue.com.au/groups/10215 Orion and Maia are extremely talkative and affectionate cats who are still in need of permanent homes. Although they have received applications, it is crucial to provide detailed information to the foster carer in order to ensure a suitable match.

Nova ❤️

Can you believe Nova is still looking for a home? This (not so little, oops) girl has been up for adoption since she was a young kitten. She's an awesome young cat. Super affectionate, follows her foster carer everywhere, amazing with other cats, and has the cutest little meows! The only reason we can think of why she hasn't been adopted is people don't apply for tuxedos/black cats as often as the fun colours 😭 If the foster carer didn't have too many cats, she'd keep her. Nova is just an excellent cat! And one of the few trusted past the baby gate. Check out her profile to apply: https://www.petrescue.com.au/listings/1050204 Chip: 956000016266799 Source: RE117081

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!
