Rescue and Ex-Breeding Cats

WNCA also maintains a listing to help breeders place ex-breeding cats who are ready for retirement and cats that are rescued by the various breed associations or by WNCA members.   Please contact the person/s listed next to each cat's description and although most breed associations have a Distress Fund to cover the costs of rescuing cats it is still an expensive operation, especially if desexing, vaccinations and checks by vets are involved.  Therefore we ask that you make a donation to cover these costs and suggest that $200 is a reasonable amount.   Most breeders will also ask a similar small amount for ex-breeding cats to cover the cost of desexing etc.

The reason that ex-breeding cats become available is because not all breeders can desex their cats and make a home for them in their houses or gardens.  Often the only option is to keep them in cages or locked into parts of the house away from the queens and their kittens.  We don't see this a good reward for the work they have done in supplying kittens for people's enjoyment and although it is hard to give away a lovely queen or a gorgeous stud it is better for the cat to go to a loving home where they are free to roam around and be with their human family.  It is doubly difficult when you are in a "breeding program" which is either breeding up a new breed or introducing a new lines, colours or patterns into an existing breed.  There you only need the queen/stud for a couple of years and what better reward for their work than to find them a home where they can be loved and spoilt for themselves.

Many people ask us if we have adult cats to place in homes as often a kitten is not suitable for their lifestyle or they do not want to go through all the stages of kittenhood before they can enjoy their companion cat.   For older people it is often better to have an older cat which will not get underfoot as kittens so often do - with disastrous consequences and sometimes broken bones.  Older cats will fit into a household almost as readily as kittens and will be as affectionate and loving to their new humans as you would expect from kittens.  If that is for you then we have the cats for you.

05 Dec 09 Hastur Silva Tobias, born 5 October 2002.   Toby is black shaded Burmilla who is looking for a very special home. His elderly owner is currently in palliative care and he is living in a cattery while we are minding him. While he seems happy he does get lonely. He is  used to living indoors with access to a CatNip Pet PlayPark. He is looking for a home with a retired person or couple who would pamper him and allow him to sleep on the furniture He is used to small cat friendly dogs but is not suitable for a family with children. He wants to be the baby.  We are  looking for someone who would not let him roam and who would  be prepared to have his PlayPark installed in their garden so he can continue to spend some time outside in safety. We would pay for this installation in the right home. For the right person, if needed, we will also offer assistance with ongoing upkeep costs.  We live in the lower Blue Mountains so someone in that general region would be preferable.  If you think you might be able to give Toby the love and attention he craves please phone Dorothy on 4739 0510 or email starex@hotkey.net.au

Willow, Holly and Ashton They are lovely Australian Mist cats and I really hope that someone else can appreciate them as we have. All three have been very spoilt over the years and sleep inside (with bed warmers in winter!). They have not been exposed to other cats. As they are now seniors they are sleepy and love to laze around under the sun. They have had access to the garden during the day but are well trained with the inside litter tray. They are all microchipped, desexed and vaccinated. Willow (mum) 9 year old female blue spotted  (DOB 16/2/2000) Good health. Approximately 4kg  She is intelligent and curious by nature. She loves routine and patrols the house checking that all is in order.  She tends to attach herself to one person more like a Burmese cat.  Likes to carry toys in her mouth while meowing (behaviour she preserved from her days of being a mum)  Not so well suited to children as she has given a few nips  over the years.  We bought Willow as a queen from Rachel in Plumpton. She has papers. We bred her with a stud 'Quentin' from Truda Straede. Holly (daughter) 8 year old female blue spotted (DOB 23/4/01) Very healthy. Weighs 7.5kg.  She is timid by nature and would be a great companion cat to an elderly man or woman. She has in the past often been dominated by her brother or sister and would prefer to be the only cat in the house. She is scared of children and loud noises. Likes a lap at night.  Ashton (son) 8 year old male blue spotted  Big beautiful lap cat who loves company.  Used to a quiet home and a readily available lap.  Loving and gentle by nature. He is a real sook and has been treated like a big baby.  Unfortunately Ash is diabetic and requires 2 insulin injections daily. Despite needing the injections his diabetes is well controlled and stable (5 units insulin morning and evening) and easy to manage. He was diagnosed October 2007. Willing to help initially with the cost of his medication. Please call Alison on 0413 290 446 or her father Wayne Burgis on 02 9544 0164 or 0411 333 886 or email Alison Burgis at alisonmed22@yahoo.com    if you can give any of these three a new home
