Meet Maple! 🍁❤️

Maple is a young cat with the gentlest soul. She’s calm, affectionate, and loves a quiet cuddle once she feels safe. Maple has done an amazing job raising her babies and now deserves a home where she can finally be the one being looked after.

She would suit a relaxed household and would love a family who appreciates a sweet, easy going companion. If you’re looking for a loving cat with a heart of gold, Maple might be your girl!

*Maple is looking for an indoors only home where she can feel safe and secure.

She’ll be at the adoption day tomorrow at Cemetery Road, Cranbourne from 11:00 - 1:00 pm. Come say hello!

Meet Atlas, an outgoing and charming kitten ready to embark on new adventures with his special person. This captivating feline thrives on social interaction and has a heart as large as his curiosity. Atlas gravitates towards his human companions, showering them with affection and making his presence felt in the warmest way possible.

Recently, Atlas has been purring a lot, revealing his playful side. Once he settles into a new home, expect him to be a regular purrer, soothing you with his gentle vibrations. He has a delightful habit of nibbling at fingers and toes, not to cause harm, but just enough to elicit a playful giggle.

While he may not be one for being held, Atlas has plenty of love to give through snuggles and attention. When he's by your side, looking for some affection, Atlas is sure to melt your heart with his endearing antics. If you're searching for a sociable and engaging companion who brings joy and laughter to everyday life, Atlas is the perfect match. Give him the love and patience he deserves, and he'll undoubtedly reward you with endless affection and companionship.

Cutest king of the castle

Jason Todd has been in foster care since two weeks old, but is ready for his forever home!

He is more relaxed and chilled than the other kittens his age... but also much bigger than them due to a few growth spurts. (He might be a big cat!)

Jason loves pats, playing, treats, and other cats. He's just a simple gentle little guy living his best life.

If you're after a sweet orange kitten, Jason might be the one for you!

Another sleepy kitten

Little Wally West will be available mid January for adoption.

Wally is a sweet little guy. He's shy at first with strangers, but can be easily won over with treats.
He's one of the kittens who loves hanging out on the couch with his foster carer, and has also started sleeping on her legs at night.

He's an easy going kitten who also gets along perfectly with the other cats and kittens in foster. If he's not napping with the carer, he's playing with the others.

He's had one vaccination, and will get his second when desexed.

To express pre adoption interest in him, apply through the below link:

Callie is due for her veterinary appointment next Tuesday. The rescue organization that the foster carer collaborated with previously hasn't gotten back about providing support. Knowing which group it is, they probably would've cited her appearance as a reason for not taking her in. Shall we prove them wrong? Isn't Callie just the most delightful young kitten? Potential adopters are invited to our adoption event this Saturday. To proceed, kindly fill out an application, and we'll pass it along to the foster carer. If you can't make it, we can facilitate alternative meetups. Www.2ndchancecatrescue.com.au

It's not raining kittens, it's pouring. This mother and her kittens came to the rescue yesterday. I can't express how many requests we have to turn down. It's a heartbreaking task having to decline all the requests we receive due to a lack of foster carers. People are reluctant to commit to long-term fostering.

About 2nd Chance Cat Rescue..

Founded in 2011, 2nd Chance Cat Rescue is a not-for-profit organisation dedicated to the rescue, rehabilitation and re-homing of abandoned, stray and surrendered kittens and cats. Our rescue is run entirely by volunteers in the south-eastern suburbs of Melbourne.

2nd Chance Cat Rescue has a pro-life approach, with well over 2000 feral/stray and abandoned kittens successfully socialised and re-homed. We have found that even the most apprehensive or timid animals can become wonderful companions if enough quality time is spent with them and our carers go to great lengths in doing so. All potential owners are screened using a comprehensive questionnaire designed to ensure that the cats and kitten(s) are suited to their new environment and owners before leaving 2nd Chance Cat Rescue. All our cats and kittens available for adoption are listed on https://www.petrescue.com.au/groups/10215/2nd-Chance-Cat-Rescue

Our rescue relies on the support and generosity of all of our followers. Donations can be made via GiveNow https://www.givenow.com.au/2ndchancecatrescue

Purchase your wine online through https://goodwillwine.com.au/charities/2nd-chance-cat-rescue and they donate 50% of the profits back to us!
