Sydney Pet Rescue & Adoption Inc.

Princess was born approx 14/8/08 and is a lovely sweet, quiet natured girl, mainly white with very pretty calico markings. She was a favourite with staff at the pound.
4/10/09  Princess  presented us with a little baby boy, white with black spots. (World Animal Day).  He has been named Christian after Christian the Lion, as this baby was a miracle. We had no idea Princess was pregnant and she was booked in to be desexed so was a very lucky girl..
6/10/09  Princess became the surrogate mother to 3 male black and white orphan kittens -Benny, Johnny and Panda. born approx 18/9/09. She accepted them straight away into her family. She is a wonderful mother!!
Benny, Johnny & Panda were surrendered to Sydney Pet Rescue when they were just days old after being found on a building site. The building site owner was threatening to drown them when they were rescued and brought to us.
Kerryn advises -
Princess - is an affectionate, beautiful cat who is now seeking a home for herself and her son Christian. They still become somewhat distressed if parted for any length of time. Christian is spending more time away from mum in an outside enclosure with his fellow kittens Benny, Panda and Lil. He can usually last a couple of hours before he starts calling for his mother. While he is away, Princess can explore her environment in peace. She has a little nap or 3 does some relaxing stretches on my pilates apparatus and then goes for a chat with the house cats. Princess doesn't like to be picked up at the moment but does love a scratch and a pat. She enjoys some one on one attention.

Christian - is a funny little man who loves to be involved in all that goes on around him especially if it has anything to do with the other kittens. He is learning to trust me and now enjoys a pat and a scratch but does not yet like to be picked up. I am spending more time with him to get him used to being handled. He definitely does not like the dog! Won't even tolerate her. He growls, spits and hisses at her. His fur is such a length that when he bristles up he looks like an echidna. He loves rough and tumble games and will often launch himself onto whoever is playing and join in. He is not afraid of the other cats in the house, he just does not like the dog.

Both Princess and Christian have pink on their noses and/or ears so they will have to be indoor cats  to avoid getting skin cancer from exposure to strong sunlight..
These two will make loving pets when they have found their perfect family.

Panda & Benny - Are inseparable mates. More than just brothers, these two spend hours in their games of rough and tumble, sometimes the other cats join in too.

Benny - is the more affectionate and outgoing of the pair. He was the first kitten to approach my dog Maggie (12 yo cattle dog). He is wary, probably due to her size, but he is not afraid. Benny has long fur and requires a brush every now and then. Luckily he likes this. He also loves to explore and his favourite hidey hole is IN the couch. Benny is a smoocher and he would like nothing more than to snuggle up on your lap with his brother Panda and spend an idyllic life with you.

Panda - is quieter than his brother but just as much fun. He doesn't like the dog but will tolerate her presence. Panda's fur isn't as long as Benny's but he likes a brush as well. He loves getting up to mischief with his brother and his favourite hidey hole is my cane laundry basket. He likes to hide in it and jump out at his victims - usually me. They also like to play in the book case. Like Benny he would like nothing more than to snuggle up with Benny on your lap.

Ideally these two bundles of fluff would be best homed together as they would keep each other company and would provide your family with hours of entertainment.
Both Benny and Panda have pink noses so they will have to be indoor cats.

Princess & kittens are with Kerryn in Mount Annan
02/12/09 Johnny has been adopted by Brad and family from Theresa Park

14/11/09 Bill has commenced his adoption trial with Trish and family from South Windsor

Hans is a handsome shorthaired black & white boy with long white whiskers. He is friendly and loves to talk and tell you about his day. He is approx3yrs old.
Hans is currently with Wendy in Padstow.

Scotty is an absolute sweetheart with a lovely temperament. He was rescued from the pound as he was such a delightful boy who deserves to find his own special family. He is a shorthaired tabby and white boy approx 1-2yrs old.

Simba: is a ginger/white shorthaired boy. Simba had a broken tail when he was surrendered to the pound and half of his tail had to be amputated but this just adds to his amazing personality. Simba is such an affectionate kitten and never stops purring. He is loads of fun to play with and will keep you entertained for hours. He also loves nothing more then a cuddle.
 
Jewel, Gem, Meg and Saphire are all from the same litter.

Saffy (Saphire): is the most beautiful looking calico I have ever seen. she has a great personality and loves pats, cuddles
and playing with anything that moves. She is just gorgeous.
 
Gem and Meg: are pretty much twins joined at the hip. They are blue torties and absolutely adore each other. they sleep, eat and play together. They are also absolutely beautiful and very affectionate kittens who are looking forward to a new home together. Gem has a similar stripe on her face like Jewel.

Jewel is a bit of the odd one out. She is a long haired dark tortoiseshell (black & cream) and has a very unique stripe on her face which makes her look adorable. She's the shyer kitten of the bunch but nothing a little TLC won't take care of. She was born 6/10/09
17/12/09 Jewel commenced her adoption trial with Helen from Exeter
They are in care with Maria in Belmore

Moby is special, a lovely lovely boy, the pound staff advised us, another favourite of theirs... He is short haired, mainly white with blue/grey markings and is approx 12-18mths old as at 28/8/09.
He should ideally be kept as an indoor cat because of his pink nose & ears which are susceptible to sunburn and possible skin cancer
Moby is with Ally in Leichhardt

Millie-Mo is an outgoing talkative little monkey.  Loves: cuddles (climbing on shoulders) food, (chicken is a fave) playing with her brother, soccer and climbing. She is very inquisitive and loves to know what is happening. Her curiosity didn't kill her but saved her! It was her bold, curious nature that led the abandoned pair to be discovered!
Remy is a shyer little man. Loves: cuddles, food (chicken is a fave), playing with his sister, soccer, climbing. Just goes with the flow but is starting to take the initiative and not just do what Millie does. He lets you know that he enjoys being held and cuddled by the automatic purr he does when he is picked up.
 
They both love human company and watch everything that we do.
They are progressing well and love their playtime. Abigail, their tabby kitten sitter, has lost ownership of her tunnel and all of her toys. They love jumping on the lounge to say hello to us when we are sitting there, then they jump off and continue playing. The tall scratching post is their favourite item.
They are with Annemarie & Linda in Narwee

Lovely Tabitha is approx 2yrs old at Oct'09. She is a very pretty tabby and white shorthaired cat, and is now looking for her fur-ever home, perhaps with you?
-Simone says - "Tabitha is a gentle girl and likes being held like a baby in your arms. and enjoys being petted. She sprawls out next to me during afternoon naps when its hot. She'll sleep sometimes on the bed or on the floor or on my computer chair, or sit in the bathroom or by the window sill. Sometimes, but very rarely, she will come under the covers when I go to sleep.
She steals my computer chair as soon as I get up :)  and likes to look out the window occasionally.
She loves the feather duster type toy best but will play with balls and string... the cardboard toilet roll inserts... anything. She just loves to play
She likes raw meat and tuna & Whiskas cans. She doesn't seem to like dry food too much at all or loafy style meals in cans... she likes the meals from cans with sauces and gravy best.
 Tabitha is very quiet cat and has a soft meow which is the cutest sound. When in the pound she seemed fine with other cats."

Tabitha is with Simone in Marrickville

 RONIN- black with white socks & tummy, male, born approx 10/10/09 - Ronin is a little ninja and very outgoing, he was straight out of the carrier when we got home. Within 15 minutes he had climbed the wall of the cage, fallen in the water bowl and climbed up and all over my partner. He loves to explore and is discovering how much fun toys are! He is very affectionate and head butts us constantly when he is not practising his ninja skills. He has gorgeous long white whiskers and vague tabby marking in his sleek black coat. He has a very powerful meow for one so small, and loves to let you know how he is going and what he wants.
-Ronin has been named after a rank of samurai-
Ronin is currently with Michelle in Sylvania and being treated for an eye ulcer. His appeal is featured on the 'Pets needing urgent Help' page.

SAMPSON - male, born approx 17/9/09 - Sampson is a very handsome ginger kitten, with gorgeous marmalade coloured fur, with stripes and dots throughout it. He makes sweet little chirping and chortling noises while he plays, and loves to bat around the ping pong ball, wrestle with Will or hunt any moving object. He has an adventurous streak and is willing to climb anything at least once. He also has a cuddly side, and loves to sit on your lap and be patted or curl around your shoulders. He can be a bit shy around new people and fast grabbing movements can make him nervous so he would be best suited to a home without small children and another cat for company. It would be wonderful for him and Will to go to a new home together.  Once he knows you he is truly a delight and will make a wonderful addition to your family.  Sampson has been named after Sampson the Church cat from the Church Mice Book Series by Graeme Oakley

WILL - long hair ginger & white, male, born approx 10/10/09 - Will is a little gentleman with a mischievous side, he loves to wrestle with Will and explore his surroundings and will never turn down a play or a pat and often he is your little shadow and he always wants to be right in the middle of what you are doing. After a hard day of playing, he will curl up on your lap and have a snooze, he is particularly fond of head scratches which will send him into a blissful state of purring. He can be quite independent, but likes to be around you, even if its just to keep an eye out on you in case you do something interesting. Since he has a long coat, he will need to brushed regularly to keep him looking his best. - Will was named Will because it seems to suit him, and it's a gentleman's name.
Sampson and Will are with Lilli in Leura

"Frida and Zelda were rescued by a kind member of the general public who saw their mother attacked and killed by a dog in an attempt to protect them.They were born approx 10/10/09
Frida is a very pretty tabby with some prominent ginger splashes on her face, whilst Zelda is a lovely white kitten with a number of torti splashes on her body. Both girls are surprisingly well socialised and have adjusted to their new home with a minimum of fuss. Neither has had any exposure to children and would be best suited to a home together without young children. They are indoor kittens so will be well suited to apartment living. Being kittens they have abundant energy and curiosity, and keep each other amused with constant play. Both have healthy appetites and are making very good progress in care in Newtown. They should be ready for re-homing around 20/12/09 if they continue to make the progress they have made thus far. If you would like to provide them with a furever home you will be rewarded with the love of these two beautiful little girls"

31/10/09 -These 3 cute little sisters were born approx 27/9/09 & were surrendered to us to find them a loving home.
Bindi is on the left and is a calico tortoiseshell with a white face
Mila is in the middle at the back and is also a calico tortoiseshell with a ginger fringe.
Zosha is on right and is a beautiful blue/white tortoiseshell.
Bindi would like to be re-homed with one of her sisters if possible.

23/11/09- Mila, Bindi and Zosha are all growing fast and developing well. Mila is clever, adventurous and independent – she climbs the highest, explores the furthest and is the dominant sister. All play fantastic games together, but often Mila and Bindi tumble with each other while Zosha plays independently. Zosha is slightly more people-oriented and will bond well with a new owner. Bindi is still dependent on the others for company but is becoming more confident; she has a red ball that she simply loves and she wrestles the pot of cat grass non-stop.
They would be suited to a household without very young children as they are not happy being with children at present. Possibly this may change in the future.
They are ideal as indoor cats because of their pink noses which are susceptible to sunburn, this can lead to skin cancer with repeated exposure to strong sun.
They are currently with Kathi in Petersham

Daniel is a magnificent looking boy with a feather duster of a tail.
Lynn says "Daniel is a handsome lad with silky soft fur and a magnificent tail. Whilst not overly affectionate, he likes to be near "his" people and enjoys a good pat. Just recently he has been sitting on my lap at night for a short time - maybe he likes to share warmth??  He always comes and sits on the end of the bed at night while I read and is always waiting at the top of the stairs for us when he hears the car.
While he doesn't like to be picked up, he will sit on your lap while you pet him and purr happily until he's had enough. He also purrs when being brushed.
He is a real entertainer and keeps us well amused with his antics with his ping-pong ball and imaginary prey. He also enjoys hunting a bean - that's right, a fresh green bean - which he bats around, throws in the air and usually loses under the fridge or sideboard.
He sleeps in the laundry at night and this is not a problem - in summer he ignored his bed and slept on the washing machine. As the weather is getting cooler he is now using his bed.
He isn't fazed by visitors and is usually around to see what is happening although a little shy at first. He is a little fussy with some food but always likes his bickies.
Because he is still not much more than a kitten, his playing can sometimes be a little rough so he is best suited to a home with older children. He is quite playful and doesn't mean to hurt in his games. If his claws are kept clipped this would prevent any 'accidents'. "

Cats with pink noses/ears are more susceptible to sunburn. Repeated sunburn can lead to skin cancer, so it will be important to make sure that Daniel is not left outdoors in the sun for long periods. He will need regular grooming to keep his coat and his gorgeous tail looking their best.
Daniel is currently with Lynn in Bexley
