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!

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 cat and 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?

The short answer is yes, you can absolutely still apply! However, we do have a specific policy when it comes to the age of the cat you’ll be able to adopt.

As a general rule, we do not adopt out single kittens into homes without another feline companion. We strongly prefer that our kittens go to homes in pairs (with a sibling or a foster friend) or into a home that already has an existing, friendly cat.

Why Two is Better Than One: "Single Kitten Syndrome"

It might seem like adopting just one kitten is easier, but it’s actually the opposite! Kittens are bundles of energy and learn how to "be a cat" through socialisation.

  • Behavioral Health: Kittens teach each other boundaries. Without a buddy to wrestle with, they often direct that playful biting and scratching toward human hands and feet.

  • Mental Stimulation: A lonely kitten can quickly become bored, which often leads to destructive behavior like scratching furniture or knocking things over.

  • Happier Adopters: Two kittens actually keep each other entertained, meaning less demand on you to be their 24/7 playmate!

Our Recommendation for Single-Pet Homes

If your heart is set on adopting a single companion and you don't have other pets, we highly recommend looking at our juvenile kittens (older than 6 months) or adult cats.

Why choose an older cat? Older kittens and adult cats have already developed their independent personalities. Many of them actually prefer to be the solo king or queen of their castle and would be thrilled to be your one-and-only!

When you fill out your application, just let us know you're looking for a solo cat, and we will happily match you with an amazing adult or teenager who fits your lifestyle perfectly.

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

We worm our kittens at 6, 8 and 12 weeks of age. 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?

Our kittens typically follow a pre-adoption process to ensure they find the perfect match before they are ready to fly the nest. Once a kitten reaches 8–9 weeks of age and receives their first vaccination, they become available for pre-adoption.

This period usually lasts 3–4 weeks and serves several vital purposes:

  • Bonding Time: Families can visit their kitten frequently if they wish to build a bond before move-in day.

  • Scent Familiarisation: Families can bring items from home (like blankets) to help the kitten adjust to the smells of their new environment and existing pets.

  • Peace of Mind: This process secures a loving home early, allowing for a seamless and stress-free transition.

We have seen incredible success with this method, as it creates a much smoother move for both the kittens and their new families.
