Frequently Asked Questions

Do you have a physical location I can come and visit?

We are run purely by the help of foster carers who care for the animals in their home. We do not have a physical location.

Where are you located?

We have foster carers in every point of Melbourne including Berwick, Croydon, Heidelberg West, Coburg North, Pascoe Vale South, Yarraville and Geelong.

I live interstate, can I still apply to adopt a kitten?

Unfortunately no. We do not do interstate adoptions. Check local rescues in your area for adoptable kittens.

What is your adoption process?

If you are interested in adopting one of our gorgeous cats you will be required to fill out an adoption application which you can find here. From then, if we believe your home and lifestyle is suitable for the kitten of interest we will contact you for a phone interview. If your phone interview is successful we will then organise a meet and greet. This allows both parties to decide if the adoption is a purrfect fit.

Please note that due to an overwhelming amount of enquiries, we will only be contacting shortlisted applicants at this time.

Why do I have to fill out an adoption application?

An adoption application gives us a good idea of the type of lifestyle you lead, the other pets you have in your home, family members etc. Each kitten has a different personality so it is very important that we match them to a family who will compliment them. If you are unwilling to fill out an adoption application you will not be considered to adopt the cat.

Can I fill out an expression of interest form?

We don’t accept expression of interest forms. Applications are only processed if we have listed cats or kittens ready for adoption.

I only want to adopt one kitten and I have no other pets, can I still apply?

Yes, you can. Sometimes we get kittens into our care that will thrive better in a home where they are the only pet. It is worth noting though that kittens most often work best in pairs and if you are open to a dual adoption, that is highly favoured upon.

What kind of medical care is provided to the kitten before adoption?

We worm our kittens every 2 weeks from the ages of 6 weeks-12 weeks. From then they are wormed monthly. We flea treat our kittens every month from 6 weeks of age. At 8 weeks they receive their first vaccination (FVR, FCV & FPV) and at 12 weeks they receive their second vaccination (FVR, FCV, FPV). They are desexed once they are over 1kg and upon their desexing day they are microchipped.

Adult cats receive the same medical care, minus the second vaccination.

We may also provide additional care such as antibiotics, physical therapy or surgical procedures.

What kind of medical care do I have to provide once I adopt my kitten?

If you are adopting a kitten you may choose to provide them with their third vaccination at the age of 16 weeks. Some adopters don’t choose to do this as not all vets vaccinate three times. You will need to take your cat back to the vet each year for a booster shot of their vaccination. If you adopt a female cat, you may need to take her back to the vet shortly after her adoption so her stitches can be removed from her desexing surgery. You will need also need to continue with their monthly flea and worm treatment.

You must remember that animals get sick like humans do so you may be required to take your cat to the vet for other reasons besides the ones listed.

What is a pre-adoption?

A pre-adoption is the process we usually follow for our kittens. When the kittens are 8 weeks old and have received their first vaccination we will then list them for their pre-adoption. This allows us to secure a family for the kitten/s before they are ready to leave foster care. They usually spend a further 3-4 weeks in care after the pre-adoption. The time between the pre-adoption and the adoption day allows for the new family to visit their kitten and familiarise themselves with the kitten and vice versa. It also gives the new family an opportunity to bring items that smell like their home or current pets to ensure a smoother adoption transition. We have had a lot of success in doing adoptions this way which is why we continue to do so.
