Homing Fonzie

We have been trying to home Fonzie for weeks now with no luck. Unfortunately, after this weekend he has nowhere to stay and I am asking for a miracle.....a home for this adorable kitten.

Fonzie is the sweetest of kittens with the worst luck. The poor think was picked up barely conscious, found abandoned in a sealed plastic bag along with four dead siblings. He was immediately taken in for bottlefeeding.

At first it was thought that he had brain damage due to lack of oxygen because he couldn't even walk. However after a few days he started recovering and eventually made a complete recovery.

He was homed with another older cat but they are not getting along at all. Poor Fonzie wants to play and the other cat wants peace and quiet.

All he needs is a family to love and cuddle with and a companion to play with.

Fonzie is now almost 3 months of age and it is becoming increasingly hard for him to get chosen for a home. Unfortunately after this weekend he has nowhere to go and the only option is to get him back here in a cage.

I have 16 kittens here at the moment and since I bottlefed I cater for small kittens and don't have adequate space for an older kitten.

Fonzie is desperately in need of a home

Fonzie is the sweetest, most playful kitten. He was found by Animal Welfare Malta dumped in a plastic bag along with his siblings.

He was the only survivor and after a recovery period and lots of love from his foster family regained full strength.

He was homed with an older cat but unfortunately they are not getting along and have to be separated to prevent him from getting hurt by the bigger, stronger cat. For his own safety and the weekend of both cats little Fonzie needs to be rehomed as soon as possible.

Fonzie will do well with other young cats who would enjoy an active playmate. He loves cuddles and is used to being part of a family.

He is litter trained, has been dewormed and microchipped and has had his first vaccine.

Can anyone find out in his heart to give this poor little boy a home after all that he has passed
through .

New home needed for Fonzie

Fonzie is an adorable, very playful and loving bottle fed kitten. His estimated date of birth is around 10th April. He was homed a few weeks ago with an older cat but that are not getting along and owner decided that it's best to re-home . The ideal home would be somewhere with younger cats or another kitten that would enjoy a playful companion.

This is his story:

On Sunday 27/4 Animal Welfare Malta picked up a sealed plastic bag full of small kittens from qrendi. When the vet nurse checked the kittens unfortunately all were dead except one. The survivor was taken in by me for bottle feeding. We named him Fonzie.

Fonzie was thought to be 2- 2.5 weeks old but was barely moving and very traumatised. He was constantly crying and needed either the miracle ni**le in his mouth or to be cuddled up either with me or with one of my two dogs. We were worried that the lack of oxygen that little his siblings had somehow caused some form of brain damage because he couldn't walk for the first few days and kept falling over.

Gradually, much to our delight, little Fonzie gained strength and started walking and playing like other kittens his age. We were delighted when he was booked for a loving home.

Unfortunately we have just received the bad news that we need to find another home for Fonzie. He hasn't settled with the elderly cat in his new home and it was decided that it is best if we find a new home for him.

I am full up with kittens that are under treatment for all kinds of illnesses and it would be very unfair to put Fonzie in a cage after he had been living in a home. We are hoping to find a home for him soon and that he can go straight to his new home so that we cause him as little stress as possible.

Please share to help this adorable kitten find a forever home.

Lulu was picked up by Animal Welfare Malta on the 15/5/25 at night. She was about 2.5 weeks old. She was vet checked and then sent to me for bottle feeding. Estimated date of birth is towards the end of April.

Lulu is a very loving, gentle little girl. She is playful but quiet overall and loves cuddles and attention. She will thrive in a family environment where there are cats and is also ok with small/ medium dogs.

Being an animal welfare rescue she is microchipped, dewormed and will be neutered by Animal welfare at five to six months of age.

What is important for me is that my kittens are loved, kept safe and treated as part of the family for the rest of their life ( hopefully 15-20 years ). This is not a short term commitment but needs to be considered an addition to the family.

Anyone interested please message. Those who cannot support please share to help find this little one a home. I currently have 19 kittens and cannot take in more until some of the older ones move on the the next stage,their forever home.

Thanks for all your help

On the 8th of may I took in a tiny kitten that was rescued by Animal Welfare Malta . This little one was around 2 weeks old and had just opened his eyes so needed to be bottle fed around the clock. Estimated date of birth is 26/4/25

Jax was kept in isolation for a few weeks since at first he had bad diarrhoea and wasn't putting on weight as he should have been. Luckily with treatment he gradually improved and was moved with other kittens of the same age so that he could have done company since he was feeling lonely. From this point on, Jax grew stronger day by day and is now finally ready to find a home of his own.

Jax is an adorable, cuddly, playful kitten. He loves human attention but also needs other cats to play with. He needs to be in a safe, loving home with another cat ( or more) since when he was alone he didn't do well and craved company. He is microchipped and dewormed and will be neutered by Animal welfare when he is 5-6 months of age.

Litter Q

These little ones were found this morning in Ta Qali by feeders who contacted H'Attard Stray Animal Support Group who in turn contacted me since they needed to be bottle fed. They came me very hungry, dehydrated and infested with fleas but otherwise look quite healthy and active.

They have been washed, de-flead and fed and will hopefully continue to do well.

HOMED

Evee and Ed are free for adoption.

Evee and Ed are both available for adoption. Evee was reserved but the home has been dropped so she is once again looking for a family of her own.

Evee is the black and white long haired female kitten, while Ed is a beautiful grey tabby male. Although my dream is that these two siblings could be homed together and now separated, any other good home with another cat in the house would be considered.

Evee and Ed have been bottle fed since a couple of weeks of age and are super friendly and used to being handled. They are also very used to small- medium sized dogs since they have been around me dogs since the very being of their stay with me. The ideal situation would be a family where they could have lots of love and attention for the next 15-20 years.

Please pm if interested in these gorgeous kittens.

Early on Sunday 11/5/25, I took in 3 premature kittens that weighed a bit under 70g. I immediately knew that this would be a challenge but i have managed to save kittens even at that weight so I was hopeful. One died on the same day and another sibling died the day after.

Little Kori was left all alone but he was such a strong and determined kitten. He would drink well, was very active and purr when cuddled.

This weekend, he would have been 3 weeks old. Last week he opened his eyes and his teeth were starting to grow and his weight was very slowly increasing. He was not weighing a bit under 150g.... Still too low for an 18 day old kitten but how small he was when he was born I was very hopeful.

All seems to be going well until early afternoon when I went to feed and I realised that he wasn't as warm as usual. His tongue and paw pads were suddenly very pale and I instantly got this terrible feeling in the pit of my stomach.... Something wasnt right here.

I gave him probiotics, vitamins and he did drink his milk although he has to be forced to do so. Then I changed him on me, close to my heart, and he seemed active and bright as usual.

I hoped that I was imagining things and that he would be ok. I put a hot water bottle for him and went to work for my afternoon 3 hr shift. On coming home I went to check on him but when I turned his head I didn't get the usual response.... My baby Kori had passed away.

I'm heartbroken that I lost him... I wonder if there were signs before that I missed.... If there was anything more that I could have done that would have saved him.

Because I take on the weakest and youngest kittens, I face loss quite frequently but losing Kori had hit me hard. I honestly am staying into space with t years in my eyes... I need to walk my dogs now and feed an the other 5 kittens I have to bottlefed but I cannot find the strength to move. I'm exhausted.... Heartbroken.

To ask those who do not think twice before abandoning a kitten or neutering a car without checking if she is letting kittens or pregnant, please look at the picture and see the tiny innocent lives we are losing because of negligence or lack of due care. Let us all respect and love other living creature as they deserve .

On the 7th of may there was a post that 9 kittens in a bad state were found in the south of the island. I was already full up with 13 kittens and didn't offer help because these kittens looked older and I didn't think they needed bottlefeeding.

After a couple of hours I was contacted by Fiona Broome Camilleri and who already has taken the kittens to the vet. Some were in a very bad state and she suspected that the youngest would need milk. I offered to take 2-3. They were very sick with cat flu and riddles with fleas.

In the end, it seemed that 4 of the kittens were younger while the others could eat alone.

In a joint effort kept the ones that seemed older, Mikah took two to bottle feed, while I took the two that looked the weakest and needed the most attention.

I washed them immediately because although Debbie has already removed countless fleas they were still everywhere. They started treatment for the car flu, both as tablets and eye ointment and luckily they started to improve within a few days.

Indy ( siamese type markings) and Ivo ( black tabby) are two males and extremely binned. They are inseparable so I am looking for a home ready to take both of these gorgeous boys together. After all that passed through they deserve the very best home and all the love.

Both kittens are very gentle and used to other cats and dogs. They are currently being weaned so will hopefully be ready to join a new family in around 2 weeks.

Anyone interested in offering both brothers a loving, safe home for the next 15-20 years please get in touch.

ED

Ed is the only one left of his litter who is not reserved for homing.

He is now 7 weeks old and we hope that by next weekend, he too will find a family to call his own.
The ideal home would be with another cat in the house as he is going to miss his siblings company. However, he is super friendly and used to human company so he will easily adapt as long as he is loved, well cared for and kept safe.

Ed is used to dogs and cats and is a very gentle loving kitten. He will be dewormed and microchipped prior to adoption and will be neutered at 6 months of age by Animal Welfare Malta .

Please share to find a home for this beautiful boy so that he won't be left all alone when his siblings leave to their new home.
