There's nothing quite like a belly-rub to make you feel good! Janus is absolutely perfect: affectionate, good-looking, housetrained, and by all accounts a great hunter. What more could anyone want?
These little cuties are around 6-7 weeks old and will be starting their vet work after Christmas. All going well, they'll be ready for adoption by the end of January.
Marylou and Maxi enjoying the winter sunshine. Two beautiful ladies
Maxi and Marylou are settling beautifully into foster care. Two lovely ladies (mother and daughter) who do everything together. Marylou is slightly more timid than her mum, but doesn't take long to suss out who is distributing the treats.

This little poppet is Ava. She was picked up along with five other kittens and a mammy cat from a large colony. She was only half the size of her siblings and we guessed that she was probably a cuckoo in the nest!
She was a feisty little kitten, growling and hissing at her foster mum. But it quickly became apparent that Ava wasnt quite right. She had lengthy blackouts almost every day. These episodes could last for several hours, during which time she would twitch from head to toe but be completely unresponsive to touch or sound. We feared every time that she may not wake up at all. Between episodes she was just like a normal kitten, although she was (and remains) very, very small for her age.
Our vets had never come across a kitten quite like this before, and a lot of thought went into her treatment. She is on a minute dose of a steroid and has now been well for two weeks. We're quietly hopeful that her condition is at least under control.
Ava may be small but she has a big personality. She is a little warrior who has fought really hard to survive this far.
We've a long way to go but this determined little lady is surprising us all with her resilience and zest for life.
8-week old Arora and Ada have just begun their vet work and will be available for adoption in about 4 weeks. They're a lively pair who seem to have an infinite supply of energy! They're being closely watched by their Auntie Babs who is also looking for a home .

Sullivan is a 12 week old kitten who is looking for a very particular forever home.

Sullivan was found at 5 weeks old, at the side of a road, with facial injuries consistent with having been thrown from a car. His injuries have fully healed, however, he does have some behavioural issues that may have resulted from a head injury.
Sullivan is not feral or aggressive in the sense that he wants to attack you out of fear, but he has not learned kitten manners and how to play appropriately, so he bites and scratches to play. The timing of his abandonment coincides with a critical learning period in his development, where mammy teaches him good manners and social skills.
He has no fear or boundaries. He "bullies" other cats, even bigger, stronger ones, by getting in their space, and by playing too roughly - biting.
Sullivan has been fostered with 5 resident adult cats and none of them have been able to teach him how to cat. ๐
However, at Ten Lives, we firmly believe in "another chance for every cat" and finding each cat the right home for them has always been our priority. Sullivan's fosterer Rosie believes there is a perfect home for him.

Sullivan was found at about 5 weeks old, at the side of a really busy road, with facial injuries that were consistent with having been thrown from a car. His physical injuries have fully healed, however, he does have some behavioural issues that may have resulted from a head injury.
Sullivan is not feral or aggressive in the sense that he wants to attack you out of fear, but he has not learned basic kitten manners and how to play appropriately, so he bites and scratches because that's how he plays. The timing of his abandonment coincides with a critical learning period in a kitten's development, where mammy teaches them good manners and social skills.
