CLEO:... has been with us for quite a while and we very quickly grew to love her and admire her continued optimism that she will find her new home soon - she really does have a beautiful personality. Cleo is a gentle, mature, calm lady who swishes her tail with pleasure when she meets you - she   is still young at heart because she loves playing.  We are hoping that her new forever family come to find her soon.

Cleo will be happiest in a home with children over 12 years please as she is not as young as she used to be and lots of noise and activity are not relaxing for her.

CASPER:...has happily been with his foster family for a few weeks now and we feel it best that he is adopted straight from his foster home as he becomes a little stressed around too many cats. Comments from his foster Mum:

.
"It only took a few hours for me to fall head over heels in love with Casper and I think he is absolutely gorgeous - I will certainly miss him when he is adopted into his new home. His lovely copper coloured eyes are just captivating and his fur is such an incredible glowing white. He is quite a fastidious boy, he does put quite a bit of effort into keeping himself so white. He has the most delightful bushy tail - when it is up while he is walking it curls over at the end and sways gently. I am so impressed by his elegance and dignity and I am certain there is some pedigree Turkish Angora in his lineage - maybe granddad managed to give his family the slip and had a night out on the town!

When the mood takes him CASPER is very playful and quite mischievous and always totally delightful. He adores the great outdoors but does not stray far from home and checks in every half hour. During summer you will need to keep him indoors during the hottest part of the day and he will happily accept this as he is usually sleeping then anyway. He actually prefers being close to 'Mum' and keeps me company most of the time. I always have a companion when I am sitting at my desk or on the sofa in the evening. His lovely face, with those huge eyes looks up at me as if for permission to jump up.

He is not a lap cat but I think with encouragement he will be because he reaches out to touch my knee as if testing the idea. He is an independent boy and will happily amuse himself while you are out but when he is in the mood he is quite smoochy and will accept being picked up for a quick cuddle. He does prefer smooching at ground level and will touch foreheads with you if you put your face down to him. He is a very courteous and quiet, sweet and gentle boy and will quickly settle into your home and into your heart. ... come and meet him - you will not regret it.

Casper will need regular grooming and sun screen on his ears and nose when he ventures outside. He will happily share his home with another cat, another white cat would be ideal, but no dogs please.

Please give Jenna a call if you would like to meet CASPER and she will arrange a time for you to visit him at his foster home.

LEXI is our cuddly, playful girl who is lots of fun.

She takes a while to gain her confidence so for this reason we are adopting her from her foster home.
Lexi's foster family have given her a wonderful home and lots of love but now it is time for her to have a home all of her own.

NOTES FROM LEXI'S FOSTER MUM

"Lexi is a shy but very cuddly young girl.

Lexi loves to curl up in your arms or sit on your lap while you are sitting down relaxing.

Chasing string and ping pong balls about the house is a one of her favourite past times. Very playful when she is relaxed. Jumps into the empty washing basket everyday and chases that long twitchy thing behind her. Very funny. Likes to also play hide and seek with me then run past at full speed to get in front then hides again.

She shares her foster home with 4 cats and 2 calm dogs and gets along with all of them. Always tries to copy what the big cats are doing. Too small to jump as high but bright as she will find another way to go to where they are. Discovered jumping on their tails isn't such a great idea. Stalking the cats then pretending she is innocent of such a crime is her idea of a good game at the moment.

Purrs loudly and snuggles into you when you pick her up and meows ever so sweetly when she sees you. Welcomes me with one of the longest meows when I go into her room to greet me in the morning.

Takes her time till her confidence is 100% that everything is ok. After that she is a normal cat who runs about with her tail up high owning the place. Doesn't stop her from being curious and finding adventures and making her own fun. She just takes things at a slower pace.

Patience is a must with Lexi and she rewards you with total trust and millions of cuddle rubs.

Very easy to care for and eats well. She also likes to steal biscuits from the big cats bowls then sits proudly with them in their room like a big girl.

I have had Lexi for a while and she trusts me. I can rock here like a baby, rub her tummy and massge her paws. Whoever adopts her will get one beautiful cat. I believe that her new owners will be besotted with her personality once she trusts them. Her stunning spotted and striped coat, lovely eyes and her quirky little faces that she expresses when doing what she does, will delight and amuse anybody.

The only reason I am not adopting Lexi is I feel that I would not be giving her the best life possible. She needs to go to a quiet home with less animals so her true self can shine. The lucky person who adopts Lexi will have a fantastic life with millions of cuddles, laughs and true companionship with her in it.

So come and meet her. Just call Jenna at the SPCA on 09 2567300 and she will arrange a time for you to meet Lexi at her foster home.

CLAUDE:.

CLAUDE:...when Claude first arrived he was quite shy and disconcerted about being here but he has since figured out that sitting in his kitty cruiser and watching the world go by is not the way to find himself a new family so he has completely come out of his shell (and box) and is now at the front of his cage enthusiastically greeting everyone who walks past.

We are delighted at the change in him and really enjoy his company. You will too so come and meet this brave boy. He will flourish in a loving home with the attention he deserves.

Claude will need regular grooming to keep his fur smooth and he will be happiest in a home with children over 8 years.

MABLE:...is a cuddle cat who encourages your strokes and scratches and trills with enjoyment. She is patiently waiting out her time here and we would really love to see her go to her new home soon. It is sad seeing such a lovely cat not getting as many cuddles and smooches as she is used to and loves, and deserves! She is happy pottering around inside but does appreciate being able to go outside when she feels like a quiet stroll around her garden.

You will love having her as part of your family.

PUSKIN:... has had a previous owner who adored him and he obviously had them wound around his little paw because he is rather solid around his middle. Puskin has a sad expression on his face at the moment because he is missing his home comforts and the love and attention he is used to.

He would be eternally grateful if you could come and meet him as soon as possible so he can go home with you.

CHEESY:...is a very cruisey and gentle boy who enjoys human company but is also just as happy hanging out in his bed if you are too busy. Cheesy loves a good smooch and will happily sit in your lap for a short smooch but prefers being next to you on the sofa.

He is a little bit coy at first meeting but this does not last long and his true, friendly, nature soon asserts itself.

SMOKEY:...everyone who meets Smokey thinks he has a great personality - he is chatty, full of energy and loves being the centre of attention. When he was with his foster family he was the star attraction at their parties and was good at mixing and mingling and making everyone feel welcome. He loves sleeping with you at night and is a very considerate bedfellow. He will be there to greet you joyfully every evening and he will be a loving and amusing companion.

SMOKEY would be best in a home with no other pets and children over 15 years and he will need regular grooming to keep his good looks intact - he does regard it as a game so you will both enjoy it.

WILLIAM:... is a little bewildered at present but this quiet boy is a sweetie and just needs a gentle approach to coax him out of his kitty cruiser. He appreciates the opportunity to sniff your hand first but he does loves scratches and rubs around the ears and will encourage you with a squeaky little meow that is delightful.

When you leave him he reaches out to touch your hand with his paw, and that does make it difficult to walk away.

LATTE:... is such a big purrer and a totally loveable boy. He is an extremely handsome Persian - calm, friendly and loving. His previous owners describe him as "...very nosey, he likes climbing inside bags [to investigate], and he loves chasing leaves...". He enjoys having access to outside but really feels he is a little too delicate to spend much time out there and really does prefer the comforts of indoors. LATTE will need regular grooming to stop him getting tangles and quite enjoys being brushed. He would be happiest in a home with no dogs but he is happy living with other cats.

Previous breed experience preferred.
