Are you an Indian Ringneck lover? Then Navii, a 6-year-old female, might be the perfect addition to your home!

Navii is looking for a patient, experienced owner who can provide her with the space and care she needs to thrive. Here’s what you’ll need to give this playful, curious gal a forever home:

✨ A large cage or even better – an aviary!
✨ Lots of toys for play, foraging, and problem-solving.
✨ A healthy, varied diet including high-quality seeds, grains, nuts, plus veggies & fruits like carrots, squash, apples, pears, and more!

Navii is a little shy at first but with regular handling and interaction, she’ll warm up and start showing off her talking skills! 🗣️💬 While she may not be the cuddly type, she’ll love some good conversation and can mimic your words and voice as your bond grows.

If you’re ready to give Navii the patience and love she deserves, come meet her today! She’s waiting for her perfect match. 🏡❤️

We are absolutely overwhelmed by the generosity shown during our Christmas Appeal – thanks to YOU, we raised $182,876! 💜

These donations are absolutely critical in allowing us to achieve incredible things for the animals in our care. With this support, we can desex 700 animals to help prevent overpopulation, or provide 1,200 vital vet check-ups to keep our animals healthy, or rehome nearly 200 animals to loving forever homes — every single dollar makes a difference!

Because of your kindness, we can continue to provide food, shelter, vet care, and love to those who need it most. Your generosity helps get them back on their feet and into their forever homes, giving them the second chance they deserve. YOU make that happen.🏡💕

From all of our staff, volunteers, foster carers and animals (both past and present), we want to say a huge THANK YOU for your unwavering support. Together, we are changing the lives of thousands of animals in need. And we couldn’t do it without you! ✨

Greetings and salutations, dear humans! ✨🐾

I am Gentleman — and yes, that is both my name and my way of life. Let me introduce myself with a polite sniff, a charming head boop, and maybe a nuzzle or two... because that’s how a true Gentleman does things. 😽

I may be a big guy, but don't let my size fool you. I’m a soft-hearted ‘gentle giant’ who loves being the centre of attention (and trust me, I do know how to steal the show). I’ve also shared my space with other kitties in the past, so I’m totally up for a feline roommate if you’ve got one!

So, what do you say? Could I be the dashing, charming addition your home needs? Adopt me and let my grace and warmth fill your heart. 🏡💕
