*UPDATE: fabulous foster home sorted! Thanks to those that kindly offered 🩷Sylvester is looking for a fabulous foster home, or foster-to-adopt family 💜 This little heartbreaker has lived up to his famous name, and battled back to good heath!! He's beaten lungworm and is now thriving (still having the occasional cough as he clears the last of the dead worms) He's got a huge purr and even bigger personality! He's a tiny alpha male in the making, strutting around fearlessly, and will no doubt be a big adventurer when he's older 😉 But he's also an absolute ladies man, giving big kisses and head butts every time he sees you 💘 I now need to find someone experienced in caring for young kittens to take him on, as unfortunately I leave for an overseas trip this coming Wednesday! I had not expected or planned to take on a foster this time of year, but am so glad I was able to help when he needed me. Some of my main fosterers and supporters are busy or away themselves, so if you're able to have Sylvester from Aug 6-23 and have a safe room in your house that you can dedicate to him (not a bathroom) where he can be safe and separate from other pets or young children (unless supervised), and you are home at least part of the day, please get in touch!! All food and supplies will be provided! This little guy is at his most fun kitten stage 🐾 but he's still very little and delicate, and needs dedicated care. Message Tara if you can help. Thank you 🙏

Sylvester is battling on like a tiny champ!! Over the weekend his breathing got steadily worse, as the now dead lungworms clogged up his airway and he struggled to cough them out!! Although on antibiotics throughout, his little body battled with a very heavy parasite burden. I checked on him every couple hours day & night, providing supportive care and lots of TLC, but would often coming in to find him covered in diarrhea and labouring to breathe 😩 Needless to say it's been scary. But even at his worst, Sylvester would look up at me with those baby blue eyes of his, and offer a purr 💙 Monday morning we had him straight back in to Vetlife where Vet Rachael and vet nurse Sandy helped with more fluids and medicine ❤️‍🩹 We are cautiously optimistic that he will turn the corner soon 🤞 If anyone wishes to donate a small amount to his vet bills, or donate kitten food (he likes the Purina kitten wet and dry) that would be so appreciated! Please message me for details. ❤️

New arrival 🐾 Sylvester 🐾 This wee baby turned up starving in a local's yard this week (either dumped or left orphaned) and very luckily for him, the home owner reached out to us and managed to trap him just hours before the severe frosts started ❄️ He was extremely underweight and dehydrated, with a cough, which we suspected was lungworm, but even in this state, his brave, charming little personality shone through ❤️‍🩹It was clear he needed critical care, and we rushed him into the vets as soon as possible for fluid therapy, antibiotics and of course, parasite treatment! Thank you to Rachael at Vetlife Pets, our fabulous feline vet for her great help ❤️ Sylvester is still fighting and has a ways to go, but he's got a big purr and lots of grit, not unlike his namesake 😉 Thank you to all our supporters and donors who have contributed to his care.

Mid-Winter adoption update on 🩷 Fifi 🩷 Fifi was one of 3 little black kittens that were all trapped in a row on Kaitorete, back in late Summer. Fifi now lives the dream life in Lyttleton (with views to die for) and is adored by her Mum, human brother and dog sister and is inseparable from her big cat brother Mousey 🩵

🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳Nuka now has a new home🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳 Thankyou to everyone for sharing . We are very happy for Nuka 💙

Lovely Cat Needs a New Forever Home

Meet Manuka (affectionately called Nuka) – a 7.5-year-old Persian/Ragdoll cross with a big heart and an even bigger purr. This beautiful ginger and white boy is neutered, microchipped, and in good health.

Nuka has been a cherished companion since he was 12 weeks old. He’s incredibly affectionate, loves to dribble when he purrs (adorable!), and finds comfort sleeping on your lap or curling up in bed with you at night.

He’s lived happily with other animals – including a feline brother and currently two Shih Tzu cross dogs – so he’s used to a social household. However, he’d also do beautifully in a quieter, loving home where he can be pampered.

Nuka’s family is moving and sadly cannot take him along. Please share or get in touch if you think you could offer him a safe, warm, and kind home.

Please contact Teresa directly.
Located Christchurch.

Adopted ❤️🐈‍⬛✨️Sherman 🐈‍⬛✨️❤️ This little guy was a true miracle rescue, being just 6 weeks old when he was trapped out on Kaitorete Spit, and found cold, wet and hungry on a chilly Autumn morning!! Luckily, he had a guardian angel find him and get him into care ❤️‍🩹 Little Sherman was a fighter right from the first, and after being warmed up with emergency fluids injected under the skin, and dried off, he showed his s***k for life and began to eat! Sherman was kindly fostered by a vet nurse in Christchurch, who along with her doting partner, cared for him- often carrying him around tucked into their hoodies in the early days, until he got stronger. Sherman's new Dad absolutely fell in love with him when he first met him, and the rest is history! Thank you to everyone involved in saving Sherman and giving him his happy-ever-after 😇
