Ann and Dean are looking for a permanent foster home!
Looking for a permanent foster home
Dean and Ann are two incredibly special kittens looking for a new foster home where they can continue to thrive. They arrived into our care as tiny kittens with the rest of their siblings and their parents. All seven were born with a neurological condition, which means that they aren’t as steady on their feet as other cats. Both are so gentle and loving and it’s easy to fall in love with them. Their current long-term carer has had a change in circumstances so we are desperately hoping we can find them a stable foster home as consistency and continuity are the best thing for them.
Dean is a happy, energetic boy who loves to hop around and play. He has a super playful nature and he’s even been known to somersault during playtime! Ann is the quieter of the two, but she’s just as affectionate. She adores mealtime and loves a good cuddle session. While she’s the most stable on her feet, her balance can be a bit wobbly at times.
Obviously as they are wobbly this can mean they can sometimes make a mess. Their foster family needs to be willing to show them compassion and understanding and work with us to find a setup that works for them in the new home. Both Dean and Ann experience occasional seizures, which are managed with medication. They require a foster home that can provide twice-daily medication in their food, a safe and stable environment, and, most importantly, plenty of love and patience.
Squishies Flat Faced Animal Rescue will provide all necessary supplies, vet care, and ongoing support to ensure their foster home has everything they need to care for these special kittens. If you’re in Melbourne or surrounding suburbs and can open your heart and home to Dean and Ann, please reach out. They’re looking for a foster family who will cherish their unique quirks and provide the stability they need. The rest of their family have loving permanent foster homes and we know that these two deserve it too.
If you are keen to foster these sweethearts or have questions you’d like to discuss before moving forward then please fill in the form below.
🍭 Chupa chup 🍭
DOB: 02/04/2018
Sex: Female
Breed: British Shorthair
Coat: Short
Microchip: 956000016637741
Location: Brighton, VIC
Adoption Fee: $800
Chupa Chup is a classic British Shorthair: plush, poised, and packed with personality. At seven years old, she’s got enough wisdom to know what she likes and the confidence to claim it. She was surrendered to the pound due to her owners “allergies” but because of a dot in her eye they reached out to us so we could get her the care she needed.
A suspicious dot in her eye turned out to require laser surgery, and thanks to Animal Eye Care, her vision has been preserved for now. Her post-op recovery is going beautifully, and she has a follow-up appointment booked in late August. The appointment, conveniently located in Malvern, is fully covered by us. Her adopter will need to keep an eye (pun intended!) on her long-term eye health and be prepared for possible eye removal in the future if it becomes necessary.
But don’t let that slow you down. Chupa Chup certainly doesn’t! This curious adventurer loves to explore, scale shelves, perch on benches, and claim your bed like the queen she is. She’s especially fond of shoulder-sitting while you work, and may even have a quick nap there if you let her.
Chupa Chup is also a bit of a shadow. She loves to be wherever you are, and will happily follow you from room to room, just to stay close and see what you’re up to. Whether you're working, relaxing, or heading to the kitchen for a snack, she’ll be right behind you, ready to supervise.
She’s seeking an indoor-only home or one with a secure outdoor cat enclosure where she can safely sunbathe and birdwatch to her heart’s content. Sunny windows are a must, as she loves a good perch with a view.
Chupa Chup isn’t keen on other cats and would prefer a home where she’s the only feline ruler. She might tolerate a very respectful, quiet dog who knows their place and gives her space. She’s also confident enough to live with older children (10+) who understand that when a British Shorthair says “no thanks,” they mean it.
She comes desexed, microchipped, vaccinated, and up to date on parasite prevention, all ready to start her new life.
PRINCESS PIXIE
DOB: 12/07/2024
Sex: Female
Breed: French Bulldog
Coat: Short
Microchip: 956000016637741
Location: Carnegie, VIC
Adoption Fee: $2000
Princess Pixie is a young, affectionate, and spirited pup with a personality as big as her name suggests. She adores human company and thrives in a home where someone is around most of the time, whether working from home or willing to take her to the office with them. Loyal and loving, she’ll happily follow her people from room to room, snuggle in close at night, and shower her family with affection.
Pixie’s early months were eventful. At around four months old, she broke her elbow, which unfortunately led to an amputation when the original fix was unsuccessful. Despite this, she is as playful and active as any dog, though her new family will need to help her protect her remaining front leg and ensure she doesn’t overdo it. Fetch is her favourite game, but she needs the humans to tell her when it’s enough or she will go forever!
Her time recovering from surgery meant missing out on some important early socialisation, which has left her a little anxious, particularly around other dogs. She has been working with a trainer to build her confidence and would benefit from ongoing positive reinforcement training in her new home. Pixie is best suited to a home without dogs. She is not a dog park dog, but with consistent training and careful introductions, she may be able to have a calm, well-matched doggy friend in the future.
Pixie would prefer to be the only pet. However, homes with one calm, dog-friendly cat may be considered if the cat can be kept separate for a prolonged period while she adjusts.
Medically, Pixie has already overcome significant challenges. She was originally surrendered to Squishies by her breeder due to a congenital heart condition (pulmonary stenosis), which has since been surgically corrected. Her heart specialist is pleased with her progress, with only a follow-up check recommended at two years of age. She is otherwise healthy and has been desexed, vaccinated, and kept up to date with flea and worming treatments.
Her ideal home will have adults or teenagers (no young children), minimal stairs, and a secure backyard where she can safely run and play. We are happy to consider homes who would like to ‘foster-to-adopt’ Pixie and Squishies will provide access to her trainer to help ensure a smooth transition into her new life.
Pixie is currently in foster care in Carnegie, VIC, and is looking for her forever home in Melbourne or nearby suburbs.
🧡 FLOW 🧡
DOB: 06/03/2016
Sex: Female
Breed: Exotic Shorthair
Coat: Short
Microchip: 991003000149378
Location: Collaroy, NSW
Adoption Fee: $600
👑 Introducing Flow 👑
Say hello to Flow, a delicate and loving lady who radiates soft, feminine energy and wants nothing more than to be the centre of your universe. Once settled in, this stage-five clinger is the ultimate lap cat, always close by for pats, affection, and affirmation that she is, in fact, your favourite being in the world.
Flow would flourish in a quiet, mature home with someone who works from home or is retired, where she can be your ever-present shadow – until she’s ready to claim a sunny window for a solo nap. She loves affection but on her own terms and in her own time. Flow is incredibly sweet and trusting once she feels safe, though she may need patience and time to adjust to a new environment.
She’s not a fan of loud or unpredictable settings, so a dog-free, calm home is ideal. While she’s been fine with visiting children, her sensitive nature makes her a better match for older families or individuals who can respect her boundaries and routine. She has previously co-existed with another cat but isn’t interested in being their bestie. She may be happy to exist with a similar natured cat in her new home but would be perfectly happy to be the only cat.
Like so many squishies, Flow needs help keeping herself pristine – twice-daily gentle eye wipe and weekly mail and ear care. Her litter box habits and scratching post use are perfect, so your furniture is safe!
She is of course, desexed, microchipped and up to date with her vaccinations and parasite treatments. She is currently located in Collaroy, NSW and looking for a home within reasonable driving distance.
Flow is being rehomed through an assisted adoption as her loving owner is relocating overseas. While Flow will remain in her current home for now, her adoption will be supported by Squishies Animal Rescue, and her fee will go directly towards helping other pets in need.
💛 Flow will remain under the Squishies safety net for life.
