Luna

Luna

Domestic Short Hair - female - 1 year and 2 months

This is Luna. She is a desexed female cat, originally found in Bondi.

Luna loves head-scratches and sitting on laps. She is a great substitute for a hot water bottle when working from home. She is very affectionate and loves to cuddle in bed. She's also a foodie and loves cat biscuits.

Luna is good with kids and loves to play. Her favourite game is fetch. We hope to find Luna a good home where she will be loved.

Located in Kingsford.

Note: This is an assisted rehoming / private listing.

Rusty & Dora

Rusty & Dora

DSH - male - 1 year and 8 months

Rusty (male) and Dora (female) have been in the same foster home since 5 weeks old and, although initially timid, are now loving, cuddly house-trained cats. The siblings are used to being together and are well-bonded.

They are house cats but do like to spend their evenings outside smelling the plants and soaking up the sunshine in their enclosed garden. Rusty, the male, is adventurous and playful. He takes some warming up to new people but once you have his trust he will follow you around like a shadow. He's a fluffy and gorgeous little chap! Dora, the female, is calmer than her brother and likes to spend hours curled up in your lap. She likes most people and things, except the vacuum cleaner! They are very cute and responsive to their owners, they even come running when their names are called.

Rusty and Dora are both wonderful companions and will make any home better. Looking for a loving home that would eventually allow the cats to roam safely outside (during the day only) as well as lounge inside, and without dogs (as Rusty isn't a fan).

Sabrina

Sabrina

Domestic short hair - female - 1 year and 6 months

Sabrina came into DCH care as a young mum of 7 kittens with cat flu. Sabrina and 4 of her kittens survived cat flu under DCH care. She recovered within a week, without any lasting effects. She is a beautiful, smoochy, friendly cat who loves nothing more than to cuddle and snuggle with you.

She is an extremely friendly cat. She is fantastic with children and adults. She is friendly with other cats when introduced properly. She is currently untested with dogs. She loves to play with cat toys like plushies and balls. She also likes climbing cat trees and sitting next to you when you're watching tv or reading.

Sabrina is litter-trained, quiet, and loves dry and wet cat food. She is respectful of furniture, clothes and shoes. She does love a good scratch on a scratching post. She has been microchipped, vaccinated and desexed. She is ready to join her forever family now.

If you are looking for a cat who is serene, calm, smoochy and low-maintenance, Sabrina would love to meet you.

Sabrina has been in foster care since 25 February 2024, for 5 months

Skye

Skye

Domestic short hair - female - 5 months and 3 weeks

Skye is a very special kitten and is looking for an extraordinary family to love her. She came into DCH care with her mama (Sabrina) and 6 siblings, all suffering from cat flu. Whilst Skye was one of 4 siblings who survived cat flu with mama, she suffered permanent blindness in her left eye, and was also born with cerebellar hypoplasia (aka "wobbly cat syndrome"), a rare neurological disorder that causes swaying while standing or walking/running. However, the disorder is not progressive nor contagious, and she is perfectly fine in every other way.

Skye is playful, affectionate, sweet and obviously a warrior. She has plenty of spirit and personality and never lets her physical challenges get her down. She loves climbing cat trees, playing with her siblings and kitten toys (such as balls and plushies), and coming in for cuddles and snuggles.

She loves wet and dry kitten food. She is toilet-trained on pellets and crystals. She is respectful of furniture, clothes and shoes. She is fantastic with other kittens, cats, children and adults. She is quiet and incredibly inspiring to live with - she never lets anything get her down.

Skye will be available to join her forever home in August 2024 after she has an operation to remove her blind eye (she needs to be 6 months for the operation to have a best chance of success). Looking after Skye is just like looking after a normal kitten. She is strong, can see clearly in her other eye and is getting better at controlling her wobbliness.

If you are looking for an extraordinary kitten who is sweet, affectionate, playful, and brave, Skye would love to meet you.

Skye has been in foster care since 25 February 2024, for 5 months

Daisy

Daisy

Domestic Short Hair - female - 7 months and 4 weeks

Daisy should have been named Dennis-the-menace as she is the most playful kitten her foster carer has come across!
She is constantly running around the house, jumping on toys, wrestling the resident cat, climbing onto the indoor pot plants, batting at your toes and loving life. She is a super energetic cat and LOVES playing...whether it's chasing toys, climbing the scratching tree, swiping at feathers or jumping on your head as you sleep.

Daisy likely won't be a super snuggly, cuddly type of cat, but she will have a snooze beside you, and you can pick her up for a smooch and a cuddle....she would just rather be active and playing! She starts purring instantly whenever you pat her, and she will definitely keep you entertained with her antics.

Because of her outgoing personality she must be rehomed to a household with an existing cat, and a strictly indoor only home. (She would be a proficient hunter and decimate wildlife if allowed outside!) Daisy is going through a phase of playing and trying to wrestle with your hand so is better suited to a home without young children at this time.

Daisy has never had a toileting accident and always uses her litter tray, and we're teaching her to use her scratching post consistently. She is available to meet and greet in Riverstone, NSW and will be able to go to her new home as soon as she is desexed.

Daisy has been in foster care since 06 March 2024, for 4 months

MIRROR MIRROR ON THE WALL WHO IS THE SWEETEST OF THEM ALL ???

Well that would be little Juno . Without a doubt one of the loveliest sweetest kittens I have ever had in care. Juno was found with her sister Cookie in a box on the side of the road , they are both just lovely.

Juno can be a little reserved around strangers but once comfortable her beautiful personality shines through.

Lupa

Lupa

Leonberger x Pyrenean Mountain - female - 8 years and 9 months

The beautiful Miss Lupa is sadly in need of a new home for her retirement years.

After 8 years she has suddenly developed a dislike for her owner’s 15 year old staffy girl, who is quite frail, quite possibly she is re-acting to the staffy being unwell. Her owner understandably needs to put the staffy first and thus sadly needs a new home for Lupa.

Lupa has otherwise always been good with other dogs. She is a bit shy meeting new people but quickly warms up to them, including kids (this can be quite typical of the breed). It is unknown what she is like with cats, but she does not chase Roos. She loves swimming, going to the park and is fine with vet visits. she is desexed and passed a vet check very recently.

Ideally a home for her would be one experienced with big dogs, with no other girl dogs to be on the safe side - perhaps a male of similar size would be ok. She is currently located in the ACT. Please contact me if you think you are the right home for this beautiful senior girl and I will put you in touch with her owners for a meet and greet.
