Adopted 🥳🌹Rosie🌹🤩 (was Saffron)
This lucky little girl has been plucked up by the best family and is now living her dream life with heaps of attention, tons of toys & a cat-loving dog sister to keep her entertained! Thank you to everyone who shared her post and came to meet her! A special thanks to the trapper who saved her life, and to the Vetlife team who provided care and treatment when she was so tiny and weak! We are so grateful to her wonderful new family, who opened their hearts and home to her, have spoiled her rotten and given her the time to adjust and thrive!

Saffron 😍 She is getting bolder but is shy until she trusts you. Did I mention she has a slight anomaly with her tail? It goes to the left, possibly not an injury like I first thought, but sometime she's had from birth. It doesn't affect her running, playing and jumping though! 😉

***On hold for a wonderful family ❤️***
For Adoption 💜Saffron🩷 Gorgeous 10 week old female tabby kitten looking for an adoring home! This super playful, sweet kitten has come so far during her time in foster care. Originally trapped on Kaitorete Spit in a terrified and starving state, and spared by a legend of a trapper, Saffron is now a healthy, confident little girl with a huge purr!! She has been treated for topical and internal parasites and had her first vaccination.
Adoption fee is $230, which includes 3 kitten vaccinations (2 more to be done) and her spey surgery, (when she's old enough), all to be done through Vetlife, who give us a very generous discount ❤️
We are looking for a kind, caring and kitten savy home where she will have lots of attention, toys, and be kept safe inside until she's desexed, at least.
Like all our x-wild kittens, Saffron can be initially shy of strangers and needs time to adjust (this won't take long!) Everyone who has taken a chance on our Kaitorete Kittens knows the tremendous love they have to give when they bond with you!

Serious enquiries to Tara 🥰

Sweet Saffron is doing really well and now has heaps of kitten energy, thanks to the amazing care she received at Vetlife! Her awesome vet Rachael treated her severe diarrhoea (likely a persisting result of her worms)and gave her a full health check. After a few days on medication, and with lots of TLC, Saffron is the picture of a happy, healthy kitten, and now putting on weight 💗 Despite her rough start to life in the wilds of Kaitorete Spit, Saffron has become a snuggly, sweet pet, and will be ready for adoption once she is vaccinated! Thank you Vetlife Pets for helping us save another life ❤️ 🐾

New arrival 💜 Saffron 💜 This precious little girl was caught on Kaitorete Spit and spared by kind-hearted trappers. She's approximately 9-10 weeks old and was clearly living it rough in the wild, with a heavy worm burden, a few old injuries, and was very underweight. She took a few days to settle down and accept human touch, but now she is a purring sweetheart! Saffron has been dewormed and will be vet checked & vaccinated. When she's a little stronger she will be seeking a very special home, where she will be adored 🥰

While we initially set out to save wild and dumped kittens out here on Kaitorete Spit, we've had several adult cats come in who were caught in live traps and spared by the trappers when they realized the cats were friendly or at least non-aggressive, which is amazing and we're so grateful to these compassionate trappers for the time and effort to determine this and transport them directly to us 😇 These lucky adults, like Mufasa here who was saved in January 2023, are incredibly special and while often requiring vet treatment (Mufasa needed tooth extractions and antibiotics) with time and TLC they flourish ❤️‍🩹 Mufasa's family gave us this update: "He's king of the house, obsessed with his (human) Dad and a great boy!" Isn't he magnificent? 😍

Gorgeous Frodo getting smoochy with his new family 💘 Frodo's Mum says that he's now super smoochy with the whole family, including the kids, and even visitors! Yay Frodo!!! 💙
Yet another case of a wild kitten making that transformation into an adorable pet 🐾🥰 Feral cats are not 'different' to your family cat (as so many organizations will have us believe) they are just scared and in survival mode... in fact, they could BE your next family pet, if you give them a chance 😉 And you'll never regret it

Adopted 🧡 Pumpkin Latte 🧡
This little kitten was found dumped and alone- at just 8 weeks of age! Luckily he was spotted meowing for help and rescued when he was, as he would not have survived another cold night on the streets! Rushed into the nearby vet clinic, Pumpkin received a health check and some much needed warmth, food and TLC by the kind vets and nurses ❤️
Extremely underweight and starving, Pumpkin was otherwise uninjured and was taken into our care. An extra special foster family offered to care for him 🥰 These tiny kittens with unknown histories need round the clock monitoring and care and weighing only 560 grams on rescue, Pumpkin was a worry. Fortunately in experienced hands he flourished! It was no surprise when Pumpkin's foster family decided they couldn't let him go and wanted to offer him a forever home 💝
Congratulations Pumpkin! Your new family has done an amazing job and you've stolen a few hearts along the way 🧡 A big thank you to Vetlife Pets for their compassionate services!

Adopted ❤️ Frodo ❤️ We are SO happy that this little guy has found his forever home!! A wonderful local family gave Frodo the chance he needed and took him on trial. Like so many of our Kaitorete Kittens, who were once living in survival mode in the wild, Frodo needed time to get used to a new environment and bond with his new family once he left his foster home. But bond with his new parents he did 🥰 and Frodo continues to make steady progress with his human siblings! Thank you to his family for saving an x-wild kitten 💙 and a big thank you to Vetlife Pets for providing his veterinary care.
