After only being in our care for less than a week, this boofy boy is starting to feel more like a 5kg-ish cat than the 4kg cat he was... hehehe
Piccolo is doing well in recovery and has proven to be very fast on his 3 paws. He'll still need dental done and a few weeks recovery.
We're hoping to have a furrever home waiting for him as soon as he's ready to go. Please share to help us find him a home or PM us if you can't imagine your life without this snuggly boy.

Last week was a bit of a scramble. A colony carer in the area contacted us about one of her kitties looking injured. On initial glance, it looked like he may have been hit by a car as he was struggling to walk and 2 legs looked badly damaged.
All our members are already at capacity with current cats in care, but we didn't want to leave him in pain. He was taken to the vets for assessment and treatment.
We have decided to rename him Piccolo. He's a boofy boy with an adorable meow.
And only 2 weeks in to the new financial year, I can say he's made quite a dent to the dollar-matched funds raised. If you would like to contribute towards his vet bill please put in reference "Piccolo".
In addition, he will need a furrever home once he's recovered. PM us if interested or SHARE this post.
Pancho, our chronic cat flu snotslinger is doing much better now. I've reposted here how he was back in early Feb so you can see the difference. Investigation back then found no polyps or cryptococcus so chronic cat flu is what he has. Unfortunately, his bloods do show he has early chronic kidney disease.
We've been trialing him on a new antibiotic and increased dosage of antivirals which seems to be working to keep his snotties manageable.
To manage his kidney disease and slow progression, we've started him on a kidney diet and supplements. A recheck will be needed in a few weeks.
To keep Pancho healthy and happily munching on grass, enjoying suntime on his harnessed walks, PANCHO REALLY NEEDS SPONSORS to cover his flu meds and prescription kidney food.
Antibiotics is $17 every 10 days, antivirals $69 every 6 weeks, nasal spray $11 every 2 months and kidney food $80 for 24 days. This works out to be approx $50 a week. He'll also need blood tests ($230) every few months to keep a check on his kidneys. To sponsor Pancho, please click on the donate link or PM us for our bank details.
If Pancho has captured your heart and you are that special someone capable and committed to giving him the care he needs in a home of his own with you, please message us. He is based in Sydney.
Pancho is such a beautiful boy. He takes his meds and nose cleans like a champ 🏆

PROGRESS UPDATE on Brian.
Brian has been on meds for cryptococcus now for about 2 weeks. Isn't he looking much better already? He has an even greater appetite now😀 and seems to know we've got his back. Out of the heat, rain and cold, life is on a better path for him now especially being an older boy too.
Brian's current vet bill is $715. If you are able to donate towards this or sponsor Brian each month, even $5, please click the donate button on this post.
His next check up blood test will be in 2 weeks which will cost $230. His meds are $15 a fortnight from the chemist. Treatment period is between 4 to 12 mths. Most likely 12 mths we've been advised.
Brian is also still needing a committed long term foster carer ideally in the metro Sydney area near Fairfield NSW. If you can help, please contact us. Even better if he can find his forever family 🤞 He needs an indoor only home as he'll be at risk of getting cryptococcus again if outdoors.

LOVELY
This girl was rescued from the street in October 2021. If you think that she is a typical gentle and lovey cat, you are wrong. Her eyes are full of confidence, stubbornness, and an I-do-what-I-want attitude.
She is a quirky and cheeky girl who loves to eat, teases other cats, explores surroundings, plays by herself, and is not a lap cat.
When I am sad, she is nowhere to be found.
When I am happy, she doesn’t care at all.
When I am in the kitchen, she is right next to me without being called
When I am working, she has to jump around my computer.
When I am in bed, she has to sleep next to me.
Sometimes I wonder why she has no inquiries at all. Is it because of her not-so-beautiful face or her nottie personality?
Please share and spread the word so this cheeky and nottie girl can find her perfect match.

Video is of a little female trapped on Sunday night by Julie Pratt.
We were informed earlier of her plan and promised to assist with funding.
This is FAIRFIELD LGA.
Unfortunately the eye had to be removed and she is recovering with Julie.
Funds are always required because we do so much work in the district, much of it not even posted about due to the density.
This little one will be looking for a foster carer or an adoption after recovery.
Help the cats here....or pm us for bank details.

Our girl Cannoli has been waiting quite a while for her furrever home. Hard to believe this cheeky friendly girl hasn't been adopted yet. In the meantime, she's keeping herself looking pretty and well groomed just in case someone wants to meet her tomorrow.
PM us if you're interested in meeting this playful girl. Otherwise, please share to help find her a loving home.

When a smartypants like Sparrow is top cat she shows her natural cheeky dominance with Cherie being second fiddle.
Cherie was NOT impressed.
