    Playing with a kitten… ðŸ˜

    Playing with a kitten… ðŸ˜

    Earlier this year.

    I *think* this might have been a

    Bin Baby from Quairading.

    Cardboard rolls are SO much fun (for simple people like me 😂)

    The Bin Babies have had their vet work done and are at SAVA – Saving Avon Valley Animals looking for forever homes. 🤗

    #PleaseAdopt if you can

    And #Share if you can’t

    We have more kittens needing to move on to adoption (like the Bush Babies).

    And people are asking us to do a trapping trip to collect more strays (from 3 separate locations) 😬

    But we can’t until we have the space.

    🤷

    So every adoption is one step closer to another cat being rescued.

  • Granny 'Mumma Ginger' Update… 🧡

    Granny 'Mumma Ginger' Update… 🧡

    Granny ‘Mumma Ginger’ Update… 🧡

    (Day after spay)

    Surgery can be hard on the elderly strays with FIV. 🥺

    But Mumma is coping quite well.

    She was still feeling the effects of anaesthesia in this reel, so I was able to get a little ‘hands on’ and check her incision site.

    (Mumma is an independent lass who has opinions about people and prodding lol) 😾

    Her body is working hard to heal and adjust.

    She has a goopy eye as a result of her FIV issues, which I will keep clean and seek veterinary assistance for if symptoms don’t improve. 👩‍⚕️

    But on the plus side, she’s active, eating, eliminating… 👌

    And VERY happy to be back with her family of female offspring. 💞

    Mumma’s veterinary costs are expected to come in at around the same as Spicette’s…

    $250 for Spay and Snap test.

    We’re fundraising now for these costs also.

    Two spays needing full sponsorship at the same time! 🫨

    There’s a reason for that.

    We’re on a tight time schedule to get all of our unsterilised and ‘less adoptable’ fosters to the vet before kitten season begins again in September.

    🫣 😧

    Of course, every other rescue and carer in Perth is trying to do the same thing. 😬

    And there are only a limited number of veterinary partners available.

    We have 6 adult sterilizations pending…

    Spays…

    * Spicette

    * Cali

    * Noirette

    Neuters…

    * Big Blue

    * Herman

    * Roger

    It’s less than other years (👏) but still a challenge.

    So full steam ahead… 🚂💨💨💨

    I have one of those crazy dogs… 😘

    Love him SO much, but he tried to eat the darn litter, like… Why?

    Does it smell that good?? 😳

    Trouble and Trix really absorbes well, btw!

    We’re all still fascinated with the automatic litter box. 😄

    And $70 has been raised so far for Spicette’s spay! 🙌

    Thank you!!

    #PleaseKeepSharing peeps…

    We’ve got a vet opportunity coming up soon.

    And I don’t want Spicette to miss out!

    Spending time with Spicette… ☺️

    She’s over her flu and flirting with Fred! ðŸ˜

    Thank you AFF supporters for helping us with her veterinary medication. 🫶

    Spicette is our only foster from the

    2023 / 2024 kitten season that didn’t get adopted through a registered rescue.

    Because…

    She can be a spicy lass lol. 😼

    (Mumma Ginger’s great granddaughter).

    Though not HALF as spicy as she used to be!

    I remember when we first trapped her in Kulin. She was tiny. 🥹

    But was a force to be reckoned with!

    After escaping the trap into the colony caretaker’s laundry room, she bit me on the finger as I tried to catch her. 😬

    I rarely get bitten, so it’s not something I’ll easily forget. 😄

    Hear her trilling away to Fred?

    She’s rather keen for affection lol. 😽

    Now that kitten season is over and there are more vet spots available, her spay is a priority!

    But we aren’t rolling in cash (unfortunately)

    🫤

    We buy second hand enclosures (well used) and our floors aren’t professionally polished.

    So Spicette needs her spay to be sponsered please! 🙏

    That’s why I blog. To raise support.

    An estimate of the cost for her spay and

    FIV / FeLV test is about $250.

  • Big Blue… 🤩

    Big Blue… 🤩

    He’s a character this one!

    Talks… A lot.

    Wants to be everywhere at once lol.

    Too-doodles around the house with his fluffy ‘pants’ swaying behind him 😆

    He wants to smooch the dogs but isn’t sure how.

    And doesn’t mind being carried like a baby…

    As long as scritches are involved.

    This lad needs a full time family to cater to his every need (😅)

    #PleaseShare! 🙏

    Let’s find this lad a home asap!

    Transporting SAVA kittens to the vet this evening… 🚗💨💨

    They’ll be spayed and neutered tomorrow.

    The miniature tabby nearly deafened us ðŸ˜

    Quite the character that one!

    Crazy that kittens are still available this time of year hey 💁

    Let’s all spread the word…

    #FixByFour ‼️

    So we have less kittens to transport next summer! 🤞

    Mumma Ginger is doing well!

    🧡

    Thank you Swan Veterinary Hospital in Midvale 🙌

    This elderly lady is a legend!

    Matriarch of Kulin, descended from Queen Kulette herself 👑

    She’s had so many litters I wouldn’t dare hazard a guess as to how many 😵‍💫

    When we *finally* trapped her (after years of trying) she was surrounded by nearly 30 kittens, grandkittens and great-grandkittens.

    😳

    And now she’s spayed.

    The end of an era.

    And the beginning of her official retirement.

    She did test positive to FIV (which we suspected).

    And she does need a professional dental clean! 🪥

    (More on that to come)

    But for now, we’re homeward bound (after we drop off some kittens to Forestdale Vet).

  • Mr Darcy's day at the vet… 🧡🦷

    Mr Darcy’s day at the vet… 🧡🦷

    * Want to help? See bottom of post for Darcy’s Fundraiser… ⤵️

    Recently, his bottom tooth has been getting ‘caught up’ in his top lip. (Ouch)

    Leading to some irritation and thickening of the skin. 🥺

    This happens fairly commonly when a top tooth has been removed apparently.

    And Darcy had a cracked top incisor removed in 2023, around the time he was neutered.

    We don’t know how his tooth got cracked as it happened while he was a stray. 🤷

    The most viable option is to have the bottom incisor on that side removed also.

    This is an expensive surgery however, and can come with some complications to the jaw.

    So for now, we are keeping a close eye on the situation and treating him with an anti-inflammatory when required.

    He’s still an active, smoochy lad who loves his food and is happy to chew his way through a meal.

    Thank you Heartlands Veterinary Hospitals York for supporting our funky cats! 💕

    Darcy’s backstory is a little different to many of our other fosters.

    He is the only stray we have ever found on our own property. 😳

    And gosh, was he feral!! 😂

    Nearly ripped the microchip reader apart.

    😬

    But he was a great mouser around our hay shed!

    Those days are well behind him now though. 🫶

    We suspect Mr Darcy is FIV+, which means (unlike his namesake) he isn’t a ‘highly adoptable’ cat.

    But that’s OK.

    He has a home here with us and our

    ‘Funky Troop’ for as long as he needs it.
