ZOHAN

DOB: 12/09/2023

Describing how awesome Zohan is a challenge, but we'll give it our best shot!

Since settling into his foster home, Zohan's loving and playful personality has only grown brighter by the day. Like many young cats, he's absolutely smitten with toys, often seen carrying them around in his mouth and proudly trilling to announce his latest "catch" before diving back into play. He's also a bit of a prankster, enjoying a game of hide-and-seek in his tunnel, waiting to surprise the other cats as they pass by.

But Zohan's not just a mischief-maker; he's also a master snuggler. He's discovered the joys of comfy beds, cat scratcher hammocks and warm laps, and he's totally hooked on his foster mum's heated blanket – who can blame him? He also likes it when new people come to visit to give him even more attention and playtime. You only have to look at him and he will start purring as loud as possible. He loves to be patted and get scritched behind his ears. He will flop onto his side or smooch your phone, hand or head to ensure you are giving him enough pats.

As affectionate as this little guy is, he much prefers to give his love with his feet on the ground so he will need a home with humans old enough to understand that he doesn’t want to be carried around like a toy. Zohan absolutely loves his feline foster siblings and will need a home with another active and playful cat to keep him company. He’s not met dogs while in our care but he would likely be fine with a proven cat-friendly doggo with a slow introduction.

When he arrived, Zohan was suffering from a severe case of Stomatitis which led us to the decision to remove all of his teeth, except for his canines. This has made a huge difference to his quality of life and now he is pain free and won’t need any ongoing care for this condition. He is still able to eat wet and dry food easily so is in all other ways a ‘normal’ cat. Zohan’s coat is high maintenance and he had to be clipped on arrival due to severe matting. Once his coat grows back he will need daily (at minimum) brushing to ensure that he isn’t put in that painful position again. We would recommend keeping his coat short with regular grooming to reduce the workload on him.

Zohan is of course, desexed, microchipped and up to date with his vaccinations and parasite treatments. He is in care in Narre Warren South and looking for a home within Victoria.

THEO

DOB: 18/11/2013

Do you have room on your bed for a real life black teddy bear?

Hi, I'm Theo and nothing makes me purr more than a snuggle in bed with a human! I am on the hunt for my forever family who is waiting for me to be their hot water bottle. My foster parents say that I have been the best behaved, most gentlemanly guest with them. I'm pretty chilled out and super gentle, not even too bothered by my foster brother and sister cats initially growling at me. Although I'm much bigger than them, they've quickly realised that I'm not a threat and we even play chasey at night time now.

My human foster brothers and sisters think I'm pretty cute too like a fluffy bear cub. I have tolerated the 2 year old boy's hugs and have really enjoyed sleeping with the 6 year old girl on her bed! They sometimes play with me with some cat toys and I love it. I've recently had a vet check, a dental clean with some extractions and the doctor thinks I'm in pretty good nick for a 10 year young cat! I really look forward to my meals and will flash you the cutest, widest yellow eyes I can muster up. I'm not even too fussy either and will eat both wet and dry food.

I am a Persian cat so I will require regular brushing and grooming, in the past the humans have taken me for haircuts and this has really helped me because my hair just gets way too long to cope with. I tolerate brushing while waiting for my dinner, but a bribe with some tubey treats always goes down well - yum!

We are looking for a home where Theo will be a valued member of his family as he has been in the past. He especially likes to be able to sleep on the bed and get lots of cuddles. Theo is desexed, microchipped and up to date with vaccinations and parasite treatments. He is accepting applications from Victorian homes.

🥝 KIWI 🥝

DOB: 29/03/2016
Sex: Male
Breed: Exotic Shorthair
Coat: Short
Microchip: 934000090113209
Location: Ascot Vale, VIC

Adoption Fee: $800

Kiwi is a sweet, soft, chonk-headed angel who’s looking for a quiet, loving home where he will get all the pats and tummy rubs he could ever want.

Kiwi is such a gentle, unassuming boy, who takes a little bit of time to warm up to new people, but once he does, he’s all about pats please! Kiwi is an exceptional housemate, he’s neat and clean and not overly rambunctious. As well as receiving the love, Kiwi also like to dish it out, taking any opportunity to give your hand or fingers a lick to show you he cares!

While Kiwi would be fine with an existing cat friendly cat who keeps to themselves, he’s not looking for a sparring partner or a snuggle buddy, he’s happy doing his own thing and would very happily have a home all to himself. We think he would be ok with a calm, older dog as long as he wasn’t forced to interact. This quiet soul is looking for an equally quiet, mature home without kids or lots of noisy activities, to distract him from his window naps and Netflix marathons.

Kiwi’s eyes need a wipe once or twice a day which he’s happy to have done and he occasionally needs some crusties brushed out of his cheeks. He also needs a daily brush to keep his soft coat nice and plush. While in care, Kiwi has had a dental scale and polish with one extraction, so his teeth are now in tip top shape and he’s a healthy, happy boy, ready to find his perfect forever home.

Kiwi is, of course, desexed, microchipped and up to date with parasite treatments.
