Some little munchkins are just blessed.
This is Dodge with Charlotte.

Dodge has been in care a matter of days, desexed and off to start a new life with Charlotte.
Charlotte is currently studying veterinary science so Dodge will always have the very best care.

Like I said ... some are just blessed 😻

Meet Dodge 💙

He came into care this morning after making his presence felt at a house just out of Narrandera.
He was trapped last night but very friendly so an easy catch.
On closer inspection he seems to have been recently desexed (around a month ago possibly) but after chip scanning him has not been microchipped.
That's unusual for folks to do unless he is a TNR but no tattoo can be seen and both ears are intact.
So it's obvious he has been someone's kitten at some stage ... being probably around 20 - 24 weeks old now.
Folks don't realise you have to confine recently desexed kittens for at least 4 weeks,
It takes that long for males to adjust hormone levels or they will wander, females no ovaries means no eggs so pretty much good to go once the wound heals.

Shame because he is a beautifully natured kitten slightly under nourished in need of parasite control was lost and scared.
Already beginning to show signs of normal kitten play even in this new environment and a car ride this morning Dodge is a confident kitten and ready to tell the others he is in town.
There is always an alteration in pecking order when you introduce someone new and the next few days will see him muscle his way around a tray at dinner time like everyone before him did.

He will be vet checked early next week, desexing confirmed if that's the case,
Desexed if it's not - and parasite controlled.
Microchipping will be done prior to any adoption.

Dodge will be looking for a home very soon so please share ... if you care 😻

Inbox me or the Old School Cats page if your interested in giving Dodge a new life.
He will not be an expensive adoption if he has already been desexed, the greater cost beside vaccination.

Riverina based.

He will be needing to see your CV's though 🤣

Don't you just love it when a pair of bonded kittens can go into such a loving home?

Little Tigger and Peaches were found in a poor condition been left alone on a dam bank for some time at a local fish hatchery.
Brought in for care feeding and vetwork they grew into very confident little kittens ready for a new life.
That started this morning and how happy are they going to be with 2 children who just love them.

Happy Days 😻

Simon says 'arms up' 😸

This is Shiraz ... AKA Lil' Razz.
She came into care very recently after being scooped up in a vineyard and went through the harvester.
Miraculously she still has all her legs and tail and even more remarkable to find a cat friendly young girl working the weighbridge at Yenda who saw her mixed in the load of grapes cowering in the corner of the truck body and scooped her out.
The universe was in that little kittens favour for the next truck in was being driven by my mate Mick who told the girl in the weighbridge to ring me.
Later that morning the girl brought her over and she has started to respond to touch.
Scampers on sight but once she is touched the motor starts and it's looking for more.

Happy Days for Lil' Razz.

She will hopefully continue to grow more accustomed to human interaction and will be vet worked ready for a forever home.

Is that with you? 😻

Resident cat Scoop 💙

He's our scaredy cat who lives daytime's next door hiding in a large shed full of all sorts of things then as the sun goes down he rolls in and feeds off the BBQ table hangs around in the verandah and lays on the mat at the door.

He has always been flighty,
Here for 5 years and his demeanour hasn't changed.
Sure he loves a pat ... but he is always ready to scoot out of touch reach in a flash.

I'm no expert on cat behaviours but have a pretty good idea.
Could I suggest he has a vision issue,
In fact cross eyed and would probably have difficulties with depth of field and ranging distance, so always guarded.

It is what it is,
He was overlooked so many times before he came to me.
He would simply hide and wasn't given a chance to be the confident cat that lives within.
He is happy as he is here so I accept that's the life he chooses to lead.

Bittersweet day at Old School Cats.

While a new one caught up in a grape machine at Yenda is being brought in for care one of our resident cats Garfield is leaving us for the peace he needs after a long illness.
Garfield outlived his previous owner and came to us in 2019 already an elderly cat himself.
A laid back fella who just fitted right in.
Ash Dickinson nicknamed him 'The General' for his demeanour wandering slowly everywhere inspecting everything.
I'm sure when Garfield arrives old mate Ash will see him and take him in, they were mates too.
GBNF 😞

It never stops,
The endless cycle of kittens and cats needing help food love and a safe place.
Satisfying that need builds such a bond that when they leave it's devastating.
The heartbreak is real.

Little Nicks is growing fast now she has fully recovered from her flea infestation.
Up to 900gms currently and beginning to put that fat back on the bones.

Desex your cats please.

These came locally again and there's always more.
Did I say please desex your cats?

These little critters were saved by a lovely lady who brought them back to health but unfortunately can't keep them or find homes even though she has tried for a while.
I picked them up this morning with a hope someone will want to love at least one of them.
They need every chance at life just like we do.

Dougie 💙 Daisy ❤️ and Peaches ❤️

They will be quarantined here for a month and desexed / microchipped and parasite controlled in that time.

They will be needing homes so please share this to help find them the right hooman 😻
