2nd Chance Cat Rescue

This ginger ninja is Corona! Yes I know- what's with the name!?

The truth is Corona is current being treated for FIP and she still has another month to go. She is pretty skinny for a 6 months old but she is also a fighter. If you saw her, you wouldn't have known she is not well - she lives life 100%. She actually worked out how to play Pogo - the game she is sitting on in the photos. She is just such a joy.

She will be available once she completes her treatment and get all vet works done.

Do you recognise either of these beautiful girls from our adoption listings or previous posts?

The shocking thing is they're not related at all! One is from inner Melbourne, the other from the Western suburbs. But the young adult instantly took a mothering role to the older kitten and her sisters when they entered care.

However both girls are ready to find their forever homes.
Both would love a cat friend in their new home (or could be adopted with most of the fosters available in the Brunswick West foster home if you want two).

Talia (adult with green eyes) had a rough start to life. We organised to take her when she was pregnant, but she miscarried her one baby the day before she was scheduled to be collected. She is more shy with new people, but has learned to love pats. She is absolutely adorable when asking for a cuddle.
She also loves lurking nearby when her carer is having dinner, patiently waiting to lick the bowl. At least she is polite!
Her younger siblings were fantastic when adopted.

Zatanna is also shy with new people, but will let strangers give her treats. She'll curl up near her carer and enjoys her company, but isn't at the cuddle stage yet. However her sister who was the same became extremely cuddly after being adopted. Zatanna just needs a calm home to flourish in.

Both girls would take a couple weeks to settle in, but will become wonderful girls once they know and trust you.

Meet Mumma Bear

Mama Bear and her sister, Honey Bunny, arrived at our rescue heavily pregnant after living in a colony where inbreeding was unfortunately widespread. Between them, they gave birth to ten beautiful kittens. Tragically, despite appearing healthy, eight of the kittens passed away one by one. Even after many years in cat rescue, it was a heartbreaking experience and a devastating shock.

The two mums shared the responsibility of caring for their babies, feeding and nurturing them together. As an experienced foster carer, I was left feeling just as heartbroken and helpless as they were.

Mama Bear holds a very special place in my heart. She is a sweet but shy young girl who has clearly experienced hardship and unkindness from people in her past. If she could tell her own story, she would speak of the sadness she has endured, but also of the love, care and attention she has received since coming into rescue.

Although she can be timid, Mama Bear has blossomed with patience, kindness and plenty of TLC. She loves retreating to her favourite hiding spot, but she is also happy to come out and quietly observe the world around her.

With a loving family, a positive environment and someone willing to give her the time she needs to trust, Mama Bear will become an incredibly special companion. Just look at her stunning fur coat and those gentle, heartwarming eyes—love is written all over her face.

Mama Bear is waiting for someone to show her that people can be kind and that she truly deserves a safe and loving home.

Most of my volunteers have met April. When she first came to the rescue she was a very timid kitty, but look at her now. A confident loving girl which loves pats and tummy rubs.
Her sister May got adopted month ago.
