Talk about photogenic😍 - NOW ADOPTED!

Meet Simon🩶 He loves treats, play, hot water bottles and sunny spots… also partial to a shoulder perch and always nearby owing to his naturally social nature😊 He might take a minute to acclimatise to a new space but quickly comes out of his shell once he’s mapped the area and realised you’re all good🙌 Friendly to anyone that greets him warmly, and especially to anyone who offers treats or play, this little guy is a total honey🥰 From his single grey toe to his heart shaped nose he’s full of sunshine and is just a lovely dude to have around😘 He has a ready purr and if you’re not quick enough to administer pats he’ll leap gently into your lap, he’s already adept at doing this with soft paws, bonus points if he discovers you have a hot water bottle! He’s been known to gaze lovingly into your eyes, bunt your hand or nudge your cheek🤗 When it’s playtime he’s adorably serious and loves to run, leap and pounce! He’d make an awesome addition to most households but especially ones that can shower him with love😽
Send us a message if you think Simon could be a match for your family!

Mumma Embers has done such a wonderful job feeding, grooming and watching over (like a 🚁😆), her babies🐱
But she desperately needs to start focusing on herself and gaining some much needed weight!
So it's time those little ones fly the coop🥰

The lovely Cat Minding with Jennifer donated these two awesome cat houses to TKO last week😍
Being insulated and waterproof, they will be perfect for some of the community TNR cats we are supporting🥰

Thank you so much again Jennifer😘

Happy Monday from our beautiful Riley😘

Did you know that black cats are often the last to be adopted from rescues😔 Some people still associate them with bad luck, while others find they are harder to photograph🤔
Whereas in a lot of cultures, black cats are actually considered lucky, and a sign of good fortune🙏
And in Japan, black cats are seen as romantic good luck charms for single women😉

There’s also evidence that black cats may have certain genetic mutations that make them less susceptible to some diseases🖤

From our point of view, all felines deserve a happy and loved life, so no matter their coat colour, we love them all🥰

Mr Grey Tom (presumed Bandit's dad), was trapped this week and went in for desex, vaccination and a flea and worm yesterday🩶

Many don't realize how important it is to neuter males, not only to help control the feline population, but to prevent testicular cancer and reduce the risk of prostate problems, as well as combating behaviors such as roaming, spraying, and aggression, leading to cat fights.

Mr Grey is currently in the care of TKO so we can assess if he does in fact want to be a house cat, but if he doesn't, he has a beautiful big property to go back too with wonderful people watching over him and letting him live his best farm life🙏

We are on the hunt for our missing traps😬

If anyone has borrowed one from us and not returned it, could you please send us a message so we can organize getting it back🖤

During winter we are looking at multiple TNR projects and unfortunately we currently don't have even a quarter of the traps we did😕

Introducing Oscar Piastri🧡

This young man became part of the TKO family yesterday after being presumed a "stray", and handed into the wonderful Te Puke Vets.
Not desexed or microchipped, nervous of people, covered in fleas, and very skinny🥺
But after being shown some calm love, listen to that beautiful purr already🥹
We are so happy you aren't out in this cold weather any longer buddy🙏

During the cooler months when thankfully, not as many kittens are being born, the faces we see coming into care, are a little more nervous🫶
They are not necessarily your confident, brave, all-rounders that we see in the warmer months, when there is an overload of unwanted litters coming in the doors daily💔
These more cautious souls take time, patience and gentle reassurance🥹 But they will flourish, they will grow into affectionate, loving, trusting and loyal companions💖
If you've ever gained the trust of a timid cat, you'll know they are worth the wait🥰
If you are looking to adopt, please don't overlook the shy ones, they will be forever grateful... in time x
