Someone please tell Jayce that babysitting doesn't involve actually sitting on the babies.
(Eskel and Yennefer are fine)

It's hard to play with your favourite kittens when they've been banished back to baby jail for the night. Though the nice fresh bedding is still comfortable from the outside apparently.

Jayce has been in foster care since he was a little kitten himself. He came from the streets and was unsocialised, but now he demands a nighttime routine of kisses.
There is no denying he is absolutely adorable. However he has a fatal flaw that caused him to be returned when first adopted- he is extremely shy with new people. He will take a few weeks to settle into a new home, but once he trusts you, he'll love you unconditionally.
While he hides from new people, he comes sprinting to greet the foster carer's friends and give them kisses and headbutts. Proof he will love you with time.

He gets along great with all other cats in care, and would love a friend. A confident cat or kitten would help him settle in. If you don't already have a cat and are after two kitties, he has adult and kitten friends. (Bean and Yennefer are two examples!)

Daily kitten chaos with Eskel and Yennefer (and Jayce wanting to join in!)
Don't be fooled by Yennefer chewing on Eskel's head, he is usually the stronger one during playtime!

Jayce, the big orange, is obsessed with the babies. We'll post some photos of the big boy in the coming days trying to play with them from a different angle. He loves kittens so much.
Jayce: https://www.petrescue.com.au/listings/1088976

Yennefer is officially ready for expressions of interest! She is being desexed 17/11/26, and will be ready to go to a forever home from the 19th.
(In an ideal world, she'd love to stay with Eskel). But she LOVES older cats and kittens, and would be happy with any cat friend. She is very energetic and loves food.
The application link can be found in the profiles of either boy cat.

Eskel is still looking for a home too. It is important applicants read his profile. There are things he needs and things he doesn't like. We know he's adorable, and a sweetheart with his carer, but he did used to be a street kitten.

Introducing the adorable Shanks, a gorgeous 2-month-old ginger and white tabby boy who is ready to steal your heart!
✨ A little about me
Hi, I'm Shanks! I'm a tiny bundle of ginger and white fluff with a BIG personality. I'm full of playful energy, love exploring the world around me, and I'm always ready for my next little adventure.
But don't let my playful side fool you — I'm also an incredibly affectionate little boy who loves attention and being close to my humans. I have so much love to give, and I'm hoping to find a family who will cherish every cuddle, every purr and every silly little kitten moment. 🥰
🐱 A few things about me:
• I'm a handsome ginger and white tabby boy.
• I'm very playful, affectionate and full of kitten mischief.
• I'm vaccinated, microchipped and desexed.
• I'm ready to find my very own forever family!
🏡 My dream home
I'm looking for a loving, safe home where I can grow, play, explore and be showered with affection. A family who understands that kittens need patience, care and lots of enrichment would be perfect for me.
I'm only little, but I have a whole lifetime of love to give. Could you be the one to give me my happily ever after? 💕
💌 ADOPT SHANKS
If you're looking for a sweet, playful and affectionate little companion, I might just be your perfect match!

Let's find Shanks the forever home he deserves. 🧡

This is Calanthe's first ever time on a couch.
We think she liked it!

As Calanthe is just a kitten, when her babies are fully fed and asleep, she's allowed out of the nursery to play and get cuddles. She has the best zoomies during these moments.
(You might recognise her four babies, two tabbies and two tuxedos from a post the other day).

We are so excited for her babies to grow, because it means getting closer to the day Calanthe can find a home!
She was a street cat being cared for by a lovely lady, and you can tell that lady loved her and cared for her so well, because Calanthe is such a friendly and sweet baby.
She loves pats, kisses, treats, and being with you.

Her babies are two weeks old, so in about 4 weeks they'll start to wean and we can start considering homes for this beautiful girl. She is good with other cats, and gets along great with the other fosters, but would also be happy as a single girl.

But for now, she will be showered in love in her foster home and experience this sweet first moments.

Every day these beautiful little babies are growing bigger, stronger and cheekier! 🐾❤️

Their little personalities are starting to shine through, and it’s so much fun watching them discover the world around them. Even beautiful mum is getting in on the action, playing and enjoying some fun with her little crew. 🥰

What a gorgeous little family they are! And believe me, there’s never a dull moment with this bunch — they’re keeping us entertained every day! 😂🐈

They’re not quite ready for adoption just yet, but there’s plenty of growing, playing and mischief to come before then.

I’ll keep you all updated as these precious little ones continue their journey. ❤️🐾

Aydin is the perfect choice for a home already blessed with dog and cat fur children.

Aydin, the last of his litter to be born, and the last to be ready for adoption. Born in care and raised with lots of other kittens to play with and cats to mother him (his mumma didn't mind sharing 😂) and dogs to sleep with too.
This charming little boy is absolutely adorable who is also very cheeky and extremely playful. He purrs non-stop, which is a sign of contentment and happiness. Suitable for any home type.

Located in Hampton Park, his adoption fee is $280.

The time has come!
Three legged Eskel is officially open for applications.
While he still needs another week or so to finish healing, the application process can begin.

A recap: Eskel was found as an injured stray baby at 8 weeks old on the streets, and a kind person handed him into his foster carer's local vet. His front elbow had been dislocated and wouldn't go back in (turns out his ligaments and muscles had also detached from the bone). The very next day his leg was amputated as it couldn't be saved.
He's spent the time since learning to be loved and trust people. He still has a little bit of progress to make, but last night he fell asleep in his foster carer's arms while purring. He'll he a bit scared at first in a new home, but with love, treats, and a calm environment he'll adapt in no time.

Eskel LOVES other cats. He plays with his younger best friend Yennefer (available to adopt mid November), but also loves to be doted on by the older cats and kittens. His happy place is curled up next to another cat.

His second favourite thing is treats. His foster carer won his trust and easily gave him his post amputation medication by hand feeding him tube treats on her fingers. He was scared of hands at first, now he associates them with yummy food.

To learn more about Eskel or apply, check out either of his profiles for the details.

Please be patient with receiving a reply to applications, the foster carer has a busy weekend with cat rescue tasks.

For those interested in both Eskel and Yennefer together, let us know in the application and the carer will happily give more information about Yennefer (she is friendly and full of energy).

Four baby boys growing strong ❤️

In order: Lambert, Dandelion, Eredin, and Letho

Their eyes have now opened! They can't see very far, but their vision will properly develop in the coming week. Soon their ear canals will fully open and they'll start to hear.

Their personalities haven't appeared yet, but if they're anything like their mama Calanthe, they are going to be super sweet. Letho likes to complain the most when picked up for kisses, and Dandelion seems to be the most alert. Dandelion is also the heaviest! He reached 354g at 11 days old, 50g heavier than his brothers.

These guys won't be ready for adoption until they're 10 weeks old. They were born midday 17/10.
When we say kittens aren't ready yet in a post, we genuinely do mean they are not ready for adoption. Enquiries and applications will be told to wait for posts where it clearly says the kittens are ready for applications. (Not reading or ignoring info on a post doesn't look too good either).

But follow along to watch these boys and our other kittens grow! And to be the first to see when kittens are ready for applications ❤️
