You have got to be Kidden me!!

We have so many Kidden’s in care, our shelves are stocked to the brim! 😅

These are just a few pics of our (many) babies who will be ready for adoption in the next two to three weeks

If you would like to apply to pre-adopt, please email us at [email protected] – Sorry, no ‘Black Friday’ discounts on our bubs.. You can’t put a price on a loyal companion - Our adoption fees are simply to cover vet work costs ❤️

Update on our baby boy, Teddy🧸🩵

Teddy was discharged yesterday afternoon, as he remained bright, active & alert, and was eating well

The vet decided against the Ultrasound on his heart, due to his size, and again, they were unable to take bloods.

Teddy has an appointment with an internal medicine specialist on Tuesday, so we will see if we can get some answers then. (I have been through all possibilities with the vets, including Liver Shunt, but without being able to take bloods, we don't know.. FIP is not on the cards as he would not have 'recovered' as he has

Teddy is doing well and has had no further episodes since coming home yesterday.

The video is of when he got to rejoin his two sisters yesterday.. You wouldn't know it was the same kitten

Thank you to everyone for their support & donations - It means EVERYTHING

And just like that, Teddy, who is one of the 5 kittens saved by an old German Sheppard, went from a happy, healthy kitten, to suddenly showing neurological signs 🥲

(The video may be hard to watch)

Yesterday, Teddy’s carer Anna noticed that Teddy suddenly became flat and would not lift his head

Teddy was taken to a local vet, but by this stage, he was back to his normal kitten self. The vet gave him the all clear

Today, things took a turn for the worse - Teddy had another neurological episode, but this time it was much more severe. He couldn’t lift his head and could barely walk, falling to the side and then just collapsing

Anna took him back to the same vet clinic. A different vet saw him, and she called me to say that he had gone blind and the best thing to do would be to put him to sleep

I cannot and have never given up on a cat or kitten, just like that.

Teddy was taken to the Geelong Animal Referral Emergency clinic. The vet there also didn’t hold out much hope for Teddy, but they were going to do what they could to see if they could get an answer

Four hours later, my phone rang. My heart sank as I answered the call, expecting the absolute worst news. The news that makes your stomach jolt up into your chest and grabs your heart

The lovely vet sounded surprised as she told me that Teddy was back to his normal kitten self and had also scoffed some food. I asked, ‘Is he still blind?’, and she said no, his vision was fine

The possibilities of these events may be due to heart issues or Liver issues

Teddy will spend the night in the Emergency, where he will be closely monitored overnight, and tomorrow he will have an Ultrasound on his heart. They will also attempt to take blood again, but due to his size, it is extremely hard.

With Teddy’s hospital stay, tests, and Ultrasound, the cost will be in excess of $2,500, likely higher as the inpatient care is charged every 12 hours

✨ Meet Skylar - 480 days in foster care✨

Skylar is a truly special girl — affectionate, playful, and deeply devoted… just not to humans! 😸 Her heart belongs to her feline friends, and she’s searching for a home where she can be a loving companion to another cat in need of a buddy.

This beautiful girl would be perfect for someone who works long hours and simply wants a cat around for company — for both you and your resident cat. Skylar isn’t a fan of being held and prefers to be admired from afar (and honestly, she wears that “look but don’t touch” attitude beautifully!).

She thrives in a calm, mature home where she can bird-watch to her heart’s content and chat away to the feathered friends outside. 🕊️ You’ll often find her perched by the window, quietly enjoying her world.

While she’s not a lap cat, Skylar has the sweetest little meow — especially around mealtime — and she’ll even give you slow blinks to show her trust and affection in her own special way. Those who truly understand cats will see just how much love she has to give. 💛

If you already have a cat and want to give them the perfect feline friend, Skylar might just be the one.

🐾 Ready to meet this gorgeous, independent girl? She’s waiting to find her purrfect match!

At first glance, you may think that our beautiful Calico rescue girl, Samaya, is the mum to these ginger bubs..

But, on further inspection, you will see that the mum is her gorgeous sister, Juniper

Samaya does not have kittens, nor is she pregnant. Samaya & Juniper are just so close that they look out for each other. Even when Juniper went into labour (sadly, her first bub was born sleeping), Samaya was there to help clean the bubs

Juniper & Samaya are approximately 9 months old, only babies themselves. They were found in someone's front yard, on a busy road

These sisters are as close as they come, and they will not be separated

We know there are rescues, especially the ‘big’ shelters, that are happy to adopt out single cats (& kittens), without taking into consideration the bond that many cats have

WE will NEVER do this, even though pairs can take longer to adopt

Our priority is, and has always been, what is in the best interest of our Cats & Kittens ❤️

Please enjoy this clip of pure love & thank you to our wonderful foster carer, Michelle, for taking in these lovely sisters ❤️

In the middle of Saturday night’s storm. A deaf older German Shepherd delivered two wet baby kittens to his owner, whom he was gently holding in his mouth. (There was no harm to the kittens at all) Bless him ❤️

The owner of the dog then located another three drenched kittens hiding behind his shed.

There was no mother cat in sight, and a quick decision was made to bring the five 3ish week old kittens in to dry off & warm up, as they would not have survived in the storms

Three of the kittens are with a new carer, and the other two are in care with one of our long term foster families
