Choco the Tux… 🍫

So named because he turned out NOT to be Sweet Chocolate, the elusive Kulin mumma we were after. *sigh*

However, any stray (off the streets) is a good stray, right? 👍

Spooky, shy and shut down, Choco is

s.l.o.w.l.y coming around. 👌

He’s now been neutered and tested positive for FIV. ➕

What does that mean for Choco? 🤔

That his chances of adoption go down ⬇️ unfortunately. 😢

Which is SO sad, as FIV really isn’t ‘all that’.

Choco is young and the FIV isn’t causing him serious issues…

(Just a little eye discharge when he’s stressed).

He has his WHOLE life ahead of him. 🤗

He’s also a gentle lad who would rather hide than hurt anyone. 💗

One day soon a penny will drop, he’ll hand in his feral card and then we’ll be looking for someone willing to open their heart and home to a gorgeous Awesome Funky FIV Cat! 🤩

Flashback Update…

Sweet Wimbles, sister of Wembles, has improved greatly in health and confidence in the last week.

🎉

I came across these older photos and it made me realise that despite still having some nasal discharge 🤧 she’s now a lot brighter and bubblier. 🫧

Though not as outgoing as her ‘life of the party’ brother, Wimbles is a darling who wants to love. 💞

Until it’s medication time… Then out come the panther sized ‘murder mittens’ lol.

🐾

She’s now graduated to a larger crate.

And has worked out what ping pongs balls are all about! 😃

This current group of Kulin kittens has kept me busy!

😮‍💨

Wimbles and Wembles.

Cinnamon, Nutmeg and Paprika.

Two sets of siblings with health and confidence issues.

When it comes to colony cats, being ‘born free’ is not all it’s cracked up to be. 😔

Check out Wimbles learning what to do with toys… 🎥 ⤵️

Kittens galore… ☺️

Aren’t they just the sweetest? 🍭

These babies won’t know the hardships their parents faced.

And that’s what #EndingTheCycleOfSuffering is all about. 👌

Yes, kittens CAN and SHOULD be sterilised.

It’s safe, sensible and sooo necessary! âœ

These tiny tots are genetically programmed to start reproducing in around 8 more weeks!! 😱

And they’ll become more difficult to contain the closer they get to that time. ⏰

Which means there’s no time like NOW to sterilise!

Don’t worry, kittens can bounce back a lot quicker than adults after a spay or neuter, so there really isn’t any reason not to sterilise. 🤷

One event that changes a life forever… 💛

Vet runs aren’t just about one day.

They’re about setting a cat up for life.

A life in a forever home. 💝

A future without suffering.

We drive (and drive and drive) cats and kittens to and from their sterilisation appointments every week. 🚗

Bullsbrook, West Swan, Midvale, Belmont, Bentley, York.

SAFE Avon Valley veterinary partners are what makes rescue possible. 👏

Without them, there would be no hope for many of these precious souls.

Shout out and immense gratitude to all the vets in WA who partner with animal rescues…

You’re making rescuing animals a reality. 🌟

‘Vet Runs’ are a huge part of cat rescue. 🚕

Every week there are cats and kittens needing to get from their foster homes to their sterilisation appointments.

And back again. 🔄

It’s just another way that we can all pitch in to help get cats off the streets…

And into homes. 💞

Many (wheels) make light work… 😻

So if you have a car and a couple of hours spare, please consider becoming either a regular, or an emergency, cat transporter. 🤗

Welp folks, we had Fox pegged as a boy…

But he’s a she. 🙀

And she’s not been well. 😟

Poor Fox(y) has been 🤮 and 💩… 😭

So we darted over to our veterinary pals at Heartlands Veterinary Hospitals York.

As you can see, Colin is happy to be there.

Foxy? Maybe not so much haha.

BUT, she behaved like a perfect angel! 😇

And we now know that she has FIV. ❤️‍🩹

Feline Immunodeficiency Virus.

Which means that her immune system won’t be quite as robust as the average cat.

However with a low stress lifestyle, high quality wet diet and regular veterinary check-ups, Foxy has a good chance of living a happy life! 😍

How did she get FIV? 🤔

Most likely from her mumma. 😪

But many adult cats become infected when they fight with and are bitten by an FIV cat. 😱

Which is why sterilsation and containment is SO SO SO very important! 💯

We’ll be watching Foxy closely over the next week to ensure she fully recovers. 🧐

And managing her home care (keeping her hydrated, offering appropriate plain food and giving her loads of love).

Please send plenty of positive vibes her way!

Sultan… A Class A cat! 👌

This feral lad from SCAN is a sight to behold.

Magnificent in every respect… 🥇

I’ve been on the lookout for the perfect

‘Void Cat’ to use as a drawing reference.

And I’ve found him! 💯

Meanwhile, Sultan has been quietly processing his new foster home.

Not a single hiss or spit…

He’s truly a perfect gentleman! 🎩

This is a cat who felt very feral when first trapped. 😾

And who is beginning to show us how he feels now.

His fur is thick and soft.

And his personality is calm and considerate. 🤗

It will be an honour to work with this amazing creature.

Whomever adopts Sultan will have a friend for life.

💞

My photos really don’t do him justice though!

Check out his reels here… 🎥 ⤵️
