ARTURO - DOMESTIC LONG HAIR

Male
16 weeks
Fostered in Papatoetoe
Desexed, flea and worm treated, chipped and regoed

Arturo and his siblings are the last kittens from a situation where too many stray cats were born due to a single man not desexing his cat. They are very lucky kitties!

He has been tamed and loved on by a wonderful couple living near the site who reached out for help when it spilled over to their property. These kittens were picked up a little late in the game, they are good with their fosterer and will take time and patience and a quiet home to fit into thier new family. They have this to say about him:

Arturo, the smartest of the litter, is not just a pretty face with his striking white shoes and boots. This clever boy was the easiest to tame, and his love for food makes him the ideal companion for those who appreciate intelligence and a good challenge. Arturo is playful, affectionate, and emits a loud purr that will resonate throughout your home. Remember to watch his diet, as this brainiac could easily become a chubby charmer. If you're ready for a smart and engaging feline friend, Arturo is the one for you.

Please note that adequate completion of an adoption form applies. Koha means it is the adopters choice what is contributed towards their care, please take into account the cost of food, litter, desex, parasite treatment and chipping/rego.

DARLA

Female
11 weeks
Fostered in Avondale
Desexed, 1st vax, chipped, regoed and parasite treated.

Darla and her sister came into care at 3 weeks, their Mum was trapped and brought into care too but became stressed and stopped feeding. Lucky Kitties took over raising the girls and Mum was desexed and returned to be fed.

If a kitten can be considered calm, it’s Darla. She’s calm compared to the others, we mean! She’s also a thinker, you can see her assess the fight she’s about to join and wait for the right moment to steal a toy. She is a purry girl and loves laps and winding around legs. She might not be the first to race forward for attention but she is the one to wait for a gap in the lap and take her chance.

To meet Darla please message us. Adequate completion of an adoption form applies and a fee to help cover some of the vet costs above.

(Darla’s extended family have been TNRd by the Community Cat Coalition)

FCR have some lovely friendly older family members in need of homes.

Adult cats bring just as much joy and fun as kittens, adopting one of these bubbas is giving a second chance to a cat let down before.

URGENT PLEA - Update:
Further to our urgent plea a few weeks ago, when we explained that we are very sadly losing our "cattery" accommodation & the urgent need to rehome a LOT of cats & kittens in a very short period.
We have been so thankful to have matched many of our incredible cats & kittens with wonderful new families and have been delighted to see them all settling in & forgetting all about us!
Now, with 𝐣𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐚 𝐰𝐞𝐞𝐤 to go, we are touching wood, crossing our fingers, toes, bendy bits, & looking to the heavens, as we still have a LOT of cats to adopt out; otherwise, we will need to "juggle" them into other foster homes, which are already full or almost so.

While all their bios aren't posted individually, we have just about every age, colour & personality looking for their new homes & ask that you consider our shyer cats who don't show themselves off with strangers. We know that once they know you, they are wonderfully affectionate, loving & loyal - we guarantee it's worth that little extra time to settle them in.

We have received a few applications in the last day or so to go through, but if you have applied & have yet to hear from us, send us a pm, or if you've been thinking about a new addition, 𝐍𝐎𝐖 is the time!
Viewings will be Sat & Sun & limited during the week, as we are now back at work (not having won lotto), but we will try our hardest to accommodate people.

Again, adoption criteria apply as always, but we are waiving our standard adoption fees of $160 & asking for a donation. Some adopters have donated & then signed up for our "Paw Pledge" of donating $5 or more a month (which also puts you in the quarterly draw to win a $50 voucher)

If you can't adopt, please share. With all we have, we are hoping for a post-Christmas miracle of 101 adopters.

DELTA - Community rehome

Female
1-2 years
Cared for in Glen Eden
Desexed, parasite treated, chipped and regoed.

Delta and her buddy showed up hungry at a house in Glen Eden last year. No owners could be located and being situated near a park we can assume they’ve been left behind or dumped.

Rescues are full full full at present, Delta’s finder is kindly caring for her until a new home can be found. We have sorted her desex and chip/rego and would love for her to have a second chance at a loving human home.

She is chatty, bossy and the poster child for elegance. Long snooter, stretchy neck, glossy coat. While recovering from spey she wasn’t a huge fan of the kittens nosing into her space and held her own with another adult hanging around. Delta is smoochy and takes only a minute to warm up to anyone! It was difficult to get a good photo of her because she was always aiming her head for our hands. We expect she will be more of a charmer once she’s relearned she’s safe in a new home.

To meet Delta please message us. Adequate completion of a pre adoption form applies. Koha fee denotes an amount of your choice to be contributed towards her care and costs so far - please take into consideration her desex, parasite treatment, chip/rego and food expenses.

JOEY

12 weeks
Male
Fostered in Avondale
Desexed, chipped, regoed, parasite treated & 1st vax.

Joey is hand raised, bottle fed. Bottle babies are typically smoochy, human focused, quirky and chatty. They are sought after pets due to their friendliness and connection with people (YMMV).

Joey loves kisses, scaling people, having conversations about when and where the food is, getting food strong face pats that stretch his skin, fighting with his sister and being held. He is very people focused and as a tiny, decided he didn’t like the formula we use forcing us to buy the pricey fancy formula.

There is a discounted adoption fee for those who want to adopt Joey with his sister. Please message us if you’d like to visit! Adequate completion of an adoption form applies.

(Community Cat Coalition members continue to trap to desex Joey and Jesse’s extended family members in industrial Onehunga)

Champ has a visit lined up and a back up - please check out Soot, Joey and Missy!

*DISCOUNTED ADOPTION FEE*

CHAMP

Male
Domestic long hair
4/5 months old
Fostered in Avondale
Desexed, chipped, regoed, parasite treated and first vax.

Champ was essentially put on the floor of a local vet clinic and left by a person who just went straight to their car and drove off. He had bad fleas, his ruff is growing back and will need a home that can gove him regular brushes.

He is sensational! Smoochy and people focused, purrs and loves a toy. It’s very hard to take his photo because he’s so busy asking for pats and headbutts.

He’s a lover, not a fighter and has been incredibly gentle with the small kittens he’s befriended. When he’s had enough play he pops himself back into the nearest lap, box or open crate. We don’t understand why Champ was left behind but know he will make someone extremely happy with all the love he has to give.

To meet Champ please message us. An adoption fee and adequate completion of an adoption fee applies.

LET’S TALK BOTTLE BABIES

JOEY & MISSY

11 weeks
Male & Female
Fostered in Avondale
Desexed, chipped, regoed, parasite treated & 1st vax.

Bottle babies are typically smoochy, human focused, quirky and chatty. They are sought after pets due to their friendliness and connection with people (YMMV).

They can also be needy, neurotic, lack boundaries and be stubborn. They take a huge amount of effort and thought to keep alive when they are little as any illness can bring them crashing down and sometimes they might just not want to drink from a bottle.

It’s always best for Mum to raise kittens as long as possible but this isn’t always possible in rescue. Our bottle babies have exposure to other cats as soon as safe and we do our best to meet all their whingy requests for cuddles. We do middle of the night feeds and manual toileting, worry about the consistency and frequency of bowel motions and spend a fortune on formula to feed our wee ones.

Joey loves kisses, scaling people, having conversations about when and where the food is, getting food strong face pats that stretch his skin, fighting with his sister and being held. He is very people focused and as a tiny, decided he didn’t like the formula we use forcing us to buy the pricey fancy formula.

Missy (torbie) is a bit more gentle than Joey. A bit. She loves laps and is fascinated with faces. Missy looks like a cheetah cub and acts like one, too speed zoomies into laps and legs. She can be a bit ditzy.

There is a discounted adoption fee for those who want to adopt both. Please message us if you’d like to visit.

His forever home fell through as they figured they weren’t prepared for a long term commitment at this stage, he is pleased to be reunited with Jamal and we would love for them to go together with a reduced fee if both boys go together.

Jamal and Archie are best buds and enjoy wrestling most of the day. Would be amazing if they found a home together but can also go separately - there is a reduced fee if both boys go together.

These gorgeous wee boys are ready for their new home!
They can go together or by themselves.
Fry and PJ are the most cuddly affectionate ginger cats I've ever met. Anytime we go to sit on the couch we are met with two little purring orange faces ready for cuddles.
The special thing about these boys is that they have been hand raised in a house with lots of other cats, and three boisterous children. So nothing phases these kittens! They absolutely love being picked up and smooshed by kids, and are happy to find a little nook to sleep in.
Their adoption fee is $150each
Which covers
Desex and chipping
First vaccination
Flea and worm treatment
Please get in touch if you would like to meet these absolute dreamboats!

A caring teenager brought 6 kittens home from south Auckland for her family to help. Lucky Kitties are really pleased when the public want to be a part of the solution and have given this family advice and resources to support their fostering journey.

These bubs are 10 weeks old, pre adoption means their fee must be paid before they are picked up after desex. The fee covers some (not all) of the costs to desex, chip, rego, deflea, worm, vaccinate and feed/toilet each kitten up to the point of take home.

More photos coming soon! They have been raised around kids and each has their own wee personality.

BUDDY

Male
7 months
Fostered in Papakura
Desexed, vaccinated, chipped, regoed and parasite free.

Buddy came to live with his fosterer after needing some more time human socializing after being caught as a small kitten from a colony.
Buddy has come a long way since being staying with Dani including being the most epic foster brother to several rounds of kittens.

He has some funny quirks and shy tendencies that means it would best for him to be an inside only or catio cat. He has the most curious eyes, loves to play with toys and towers, has the cutest chirps and squeaks, and the LOUDEST and LONGEST purring sessions ever.

He will take a few weeks to settle into a new home with his new people, once relaxed he becomes the most epic side snuggle boy ever and loves nothing more that all the pats and love. This special boy needs a special home with someone who might be home a lot or has another confident, friendly and playful cat. Homes with children or dogs would make him very nervous. He is wary of feet but still young and learning and growing. Connecting with buddy will be life changing for the right person!

If you’re interested please message us to arrange a visit. Please note adequate completion of an adoption form applies. Koha donation means the fee is your choice - please consider the expenses and time spent on our rescue babies when you decide your amount.
