🚨 Tiny Emergency From Joe Slovo This Morning 🚨

This little girl came in today after a report that she couldn’t walk and kept falling over. She’s now at the vet for a full assessment. 💔
She has a noticeable head tilt, her little head keeps jerking from side to side, and her pupils are different sizes. We can only hope she wasn’t kicked in the head and that whatever is wrong is treatable. She deserves every chance.
We can’t help babies like her without your support. Every donation—big or small—helps us give them the urgent care they need.

This boy came in from Joe Slovo this morning for sterilization.
We wouldn’t be able to help these cats without Busie’s help. She lives in the area and is a huge cat lover. She’s also helping with educating people about diseases and sterilization. Thank you, Busie! 👏

🌟 From Fragile to Flourishing! 🌟

Our 10 little warriors are finally thriving! After a tough start, they’re all doing so well and are steadily packing on those much-needed grams. Every weigh-in shows another little victory. 💛
The bigger litter is officially ready to leave for their forever homes, and the younger babies are almost ready to start their own new lives too. It’s been such a joy watching them grow stronger, braver, and bouncier by the day!

If you’ve been thinking about adding a little purr-machine to your family, now’s the perfect time. These babies are so deserving of all the love in the world. 💕

🐾 Tiny Fighters With Big Personalities 🐾

Our sweet little crew is keeping us on our toes! Their weights are still a bit up and down, but you’d never guess it from the way they play, explore, and zoom around like they own the place.
They’ve become so used to their twice-daily weigh-ins that they now sit perfectly still in the bowl… and some even climb in all by themselves! It’s as if they know they’re little superstars. 😍
These babies are busy, bright, and absolutely too cute for words. We’re giving them all the care and support they need to keep growing stronger every day.

💛 If anyone would like to help with the cost of their food, litter, and ongoing care, we would be incredibly grateful. Every bit truly helps us keep these little ones thriving.

UPDATE: HOMED

💔 Misty Is All Alone… Can You Help? 💔

Misty’s two brothers have both found their forever homes, and while we’re thrilled for them, our hearts are aching for this little girl. She’s suddenly on her own, and she’s really struggling without the companionship she’s always known.
Misty is a soft, sensitive soul who loves company. She follows her foster mommy around, looking for reassurance, and cries when she’s left by herself. She just wants a family to love.
If you have space in your heart and home, please consider giving Misty the comfort and security she’s longing for. She deserves her chance at happiness too. 💕

"THE FANTASTIC FOUR all grown up"🎉
Coming up on their one year adoption anniversary! 🎂

This litter was born on the 14th of October 2024.
The foundation honours the family that were willing to have them homed responsibly. 👏🏻
Unfortunately their female house cat fell pregnant and they notified us when she gave birth. 🐈🐈‍⬛🐈🐈‍⬛ Mom and babies did well all the way till the litter was 7 weeks old. Mom was sterilisised and the babies were vet checked.

On the 2nd of December 2024 this healthy and happy litter joined a brand new foster mom. 👩🏻 They were already used to kids and well socialised. Which made such a lovely first journey. 🎀🫶🏻🎀🫶🏻🎀

Proud to say one year later that they are all doing incredibly well! 🩷They are so loved and so spoilt in all the best ways. 😘
Above we see from the top:
*Pixie* who charms the socks off of her family and loves her furry siblings.
*Princess Lola* who is adored and constantly doted on.
*Caspi and Astro* the dynamic duo who were lucky enough to start life together in the womb and get adopted together.

We thank each of these families who gave us and these kittens a chance.
And thank you foster mom Schenelle for doing an excellent job with your first litter! 🩷

UPDATE: Both ginger boys are booked. Little Misty, the tabby girl, is still available

🌟 Our Little Fighter Needs a Name! 🌟

This tiny boy has been through such a tough start, but he’s showing us what real courage looks like. 💪
After days of syringe feeding, he’s finally started eating on his own — and even gaining a little weight! 🩷
He’s still small and fragile, but his will to live is huge. We’re so proud of how far he’s come!
Now he just needs one more thing — a name to match his fighting spirit. 💫
