PayPal: https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/feralnation We take in abandoned, unwanted, sick, and injured kittens and cats. Where possible we take in unhandleable kitties, the "feral" ones - the reason Feral Nation was started. All kittens/cats are pr

ovided with TLC, quality food, vet treatment as required, and socialisation. Prior to adoption they are desexed, microchipped, receive at least one vaccination, and are up to date with flea & worm treatments.

The Miramar Night Market is on now until 8pm! Hayley and Cara are there with a fabulous array of goodies - all funds raised go toward helping vulnerable kitties.

There’s loads of other amazing stalls - plus food trucks. The sun is shining so it’s a beautiful afternoon / evening to get out and enjoy this fabulous market and you’ll be sure to find some perfect Christmas gifts.

You could also chat to the ladies about fostering - and if you’re keen on Basil you could ask Cara about his snuggly self, as she’s the one currently giving him all the love 🧡

Our goal with kitties we take in is rehabilitate / desex / rehome. However, sometimes the the kindest thing we can do is euthanasia.

This handsome boy is Moss. When I was alerted to him last night, i wanted to get him asap to sort his eye out. Within 20mins of a trap being set he was in it. When Kate took him home she could see his jaw didn’t look great, so the plan was to get some pain relief in him and take him to the vet on Monday. Except - he wouldn’t eat, so no pain relief.

I couldn’t leave him all weekend in pain so off to the vets we went. Once there, his adrenaline kicked in and it was clear that we needed him sedated for the vet to check him. It was immediately obvious quite how badly injured he was - his jaw was partially degloved down to the bone 😳

Sadly, his injuries weren’t survivable and the decision was made to end his suffering. The colony he comes from is right next to the motorway so most likely he’s been hit by a car in the past week or two 😢

R.I.P. Moss 💔

There’s at least 4 more cats in the colony, one was trapped this morning and hopefully we’ll get the rest in the next couple of days. They have been getting fed regularly, and they trust their feeder, which is making it relatively easy to catch them 😍 At least one is pregnant so we have everything crossed we’ll trap her before she gives birth 🤞

If you could spare any dollars for todays vet bill - and future vet bills this kitten season - it would be much appreciated 🩷

🧡 AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION 🧡

I’m absolutely gutted that I can’t provide the home Basil needs, and so he is now up for adoption. He needs a home with a human : cat ratio that is significantly better than FNHQ! For more details on why it’s not worked, read this post https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=1119638503504029&id=100063736689217

Basil is a big playful 3.5yr old boy, looking for a quiet home. He’d like just one or two humans who are seeking a snuggly cat who dribbles when he’s happy. He will be shy to start with, and spend much time under furniture, but like at his foster home he’ll engage with you if you get down to his level. He doesn’t need to be indoor only, although he will need to be initially until he trusts you and realises you are his furever home.

He would be best as an only cat. He likes the idea of friends but doesn’t really know how to play nicely - and has almost zero concept of social clues / body language. This isn’t surprising… you don’t get shot in the face as a baby and not suffer a little brain damage 😬 On top of that… he’s a ginge 🤷‍♀️😅

Basil is neutered, microchipped, fully vaccinated, and up to date with flea and worm treatments. There’s a required contribution of $265 to his adoption. He’ll come with the food he’s currently eating, some treats, toys, and his favourite bed.

As Basil was hugely let down by the people who adopted him last year, his adoption process will be different to normal. If you think Basil might be the cat for you, and you can offer him the very best life that he deserves…

🐈 Send me a message about you and your home, and why you think Basil would be happiest with you.

🐈 I’ll chat with everyone who seems suitable, to find out more details.

🐈 All who seem suitable, will be able to meet him - from Sunday 1st December.

🐈 When the purrfect home is found, a home visit will be required, so I can see the home Basil will be living in.

🐈 The adoption won’t be approved straight away. It’ll be a foster-to-adopt situation, until such time as it’s clear Basil is settled in and just the happiest boi 🥰

If you do message with interest, please don’t be offended if you’re not his chosen person/people. Finding Basil the very best for him is my only concern 🧡

💞 AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION 💞

Six weeks since her brother Milk was adopted, and a month since her mama Feijoa Macaron was adopted, beautiful Marshmallow is finally ready to find her furever home.

Marshmallow was always the flightiest and spiciest of her family but thanks to her two foster homes she has made massive progress and is now quite tolerant of humans. She’s seeking a quiet home, perhaps with just one or two humans, who will continue to give her all the TLC that’ll enable her to settle in and trust you… and thrive 🥰

In both her foster homes she was with other kitties, so if you already have a friendly confident little cat who might like a friend… perhaps Marshmallow is the one. She’d also be totally ok with being a spoiled only child.

7mth old Marshmallow has been speyed, microchipped, fully vaccinated, and is up to date with flea and worm treatments. There’s a required contribution of $265 to go toward covering her costs, this includes a pack of the food she’s currently being fed.

She’s available to meet now in Newlands. If you have a Marshmallow shaped hole in your home, please send me a PM with a few details about your home 😻

Hands up if you’re a strong independent girl 🙋‍♀️💞

Moshie & Nutmeg have just had their njghtly treats, for the last time as Feral Nation kitties.

Both of them spent around a year in FN care (Moshie was a year + 3wks, Nutmeg is 2wks shy of a year) and I’m so stoked that they’re leaving to their furever home tomorrow. They met by pure chance and now they get to spend their lives together 🩷🩷🩷

⁉️ CAN YOU HELP ⁉️

Before some more kitties go into the main cat room at HQ, I’d love for it to look nicer. The wallpaper was mostly stripped a few years back and it’s stayed as is since then, and it just looks manky.

Any keen DIYers in Wellington who’d be willing and able to sand / plaster / paint as needed? Maybe a bunch of people, to take up less of everyone’s time? I can buy all the required supplies.

If it’s going to be done it needs to happen before end of November, as it’ll then be needed for new kitties. So I’m realistic in my expectations that it may need to wait until next winter. Send me a PM if you can help. If there’s a bunch of people I can start a group chat on messenger 😻

When you’re just a baby so you go wherever the human goes… and you don’t care, so long as she provides her hands for snuggling in to sleep 🥰

🌸 ADOPTION UPDATE 🌸

It’s 3.5mths since Pickles & Lord Snugglepuff met at an adoption day and chose the same family. This update was from 3wks after they’d been in their furever home…

“They are so good and now very much part of the family. They've adjusted beautifully to using the cat door and spending time outside. We have renamed Pickles to Liquorice and Lord Snugglepuff to Super Shadow. 😅

They are so playful and happy. They love and groom each other so much.Surprisingly, Super Shadow is the calmer boy who loves cuddles and kisses. He has the loudest purr I've ever heard - like a tractor. Liquorice loves to be on and around us, but is not so keen on being stroked all the time. They have beautiful personalities and are such a great addition to our family” 💜

Looking after a baby kitten who feels most content in my hands, leads to quite a lot of unproductive time 😅

This morning I learned about that new social media channel currently in the news and decided to sign up and try it. If you’re on there, please give us a follow! Link in comments 😉😻

‼️ IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT ‼️

Moshie & Nutmeg have been adopted!!! 🥳😎🥰

They’ll be at FNHQ for a few more days and then they’ll leave for their furever home 🩷

🌸 ADOPTION UPDATE 🌸

It’s 2.5mths since Charles was adopted after many weeks of waiting. It was instant love with his humans and he settled in so incredibly fast 🥰

“Just to let you know that Charles (now known as Charlie) is adjusting well to us. He is loving tummy tickles and even had some play time with Winston our dog. Thanks again for letting us adopt him 💜

17/11/2024

🌸 ADOPTION UPDATE 🌸

While Moshie & Nutneg wait to find their purrfect furever home, I’ve received an update on two other shy bonded girls who also took aaaaaages to be adopted…

“I’ve been meaning to give you an update for ages now about Poppy and Berta (previously Huberta). It will be 2 years in March that I have had them. They have come so far and are such lttle sweethearts with so much personality.

Given the space and time they come out of their shells. Berta is my wee shadow follows me eveywhere and is very chatty about what she thinks, Poppy just loves a sleep and is just so sweet. Despite Berta thinking she is a tough girl, she is actually quite liking the attention, pats and head scratches although not one to be picked up yet, but slowly working on that...

I’m so glad I adopted them and so happy that they now have a warm safe home...and seem to quite like me!... Thank you for the work you do!”

Little Annabel had had a great 24hrs, the antibiotics are doing their job 🥳🩷 Remember to vote for FN today if you haven’t already… this weekend, all votes are doubled! https://mygivingcircle.org/feral-nation-rescue-trust

Baby Annabel is doing much better this morning and she’s now into triple digits at 101g 🥳 Fingers crossed she continues on this trajectory and I can return a thriving baby kitten to Kāpiti Cats - Found Minx by next weekend 🤞🩷 I’d love to take some kitten food to Kapiti Cats when I return Annabel - they use Purina kitten. If you have some at home you’re no longer using and would like to donate - or could buy a bag of biccies or some wet food sachets, please drop off to one of the following locations by Friday 22nd: Animates Kilbirnie Vetcare Khandallah CareVets Wainuiomata Animates Porirua Or, if you’d like to donate a dollar or two, their bank account number is 38-9023-0495449-01 💞

BFF’s Nutmeg & Moshie would equally be happy as the only cats in their furever home, or with friendly felines if you’re looking to increase your cat family. They’re still getting used to humans, but the way to their hearts is most definitely with treats 😅 Here’s more details https://www.facebook.com/share/1DrMSZZC5P/?mibextid=WC7FNe

Charlie has not loved the last three nights being all alone, but hopefully his adoption appointment goes well tomorrow morning and this sweet affectionate boy will be sleeping with his new humans tomorrow night 🤞💜

He’s eaten some food, drunk some water, purred in my arms, given me multiple head boops, wanted so many cuddles, and now it’s nap time. Bet it’s going to be the best sleep he’s ever had 🧡

Tiny is fascinated by, and nervous of, the wee babies 😍

Pixel is such a happy boy 🥰 His 4th birthday is fast approaching… be much nicer for him to celebrate that in his own home, rather than foster care 🤔💜 #AdoptPixel

Hot rotisserie chicken for dinner for the 3 shy kittens 😋 Leon is on the cat tower trying to figure out where the yummy smell is coming from… 🤷‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤣

When I sent Nora (and Goldie) off to a foster home 6wks ago, I had never touched Nora. If I tried to touch her, she would run. NOW LOOK AT HER! 🥰 All it takes is love, patience… and a whole lot of treats 😅 I have my fingers crossed that there’s someone who has space in their hearts and home for Nora & Goldie 🤞 I know there’s more people out there who are willing to put in the effort to earn the trust of a shy kitten or two. Here’s the adoption post https://www.facebook.com/share/p/vZzDoKDb6FH6DgBR/?mibextid=WC7FNe Only two appointments booked for today so that means lots of appointments available 😻

This is partly to show you Charles in action (along with his brother Teddy) and partly to give you an idea on a homemade treat dispenser you could make 🤩

Gloria is a very happy confident purry cuddly kitten - as are her siblings Glen & Shelly. Hopefully all 3 will be adopted this weekend 🤞 Will need a few more appointments booked though https://www.facebook.com/100082039953848/posts/478256794918982/? 😻
