Welcome to your new forever home Kelis!🩷

Kelis has been in her new home for a week now and has settled so well…her new mom is besotted with her and the 2 of them are already glued to each other…I can see that Kelis is going to be spoilt rotten. 😀

Thank you Lazahn for opening your lovely home and your heart to this special girl.

Go well beautiful girl. 😻

Still no home for this girl. 😢

Please read her story….her life depends on it!

I found her roaming around the parking lot of Pick n Pay Panorama in Cape Town on the 1st of August…she was heavily pregnant but so sweet and super chilled…I unfortunately could not take her home as I have cats and 2 of them are very old and 1 is not well.

I did the only thing I could think of at that moment and took her to the Panorama vet and proceeded to post on all the northern suburbs groups for in case someone was missing their pregnant dog but as I thought nobody came forward.

She was obviously sent to the SPCA by Panorama and today I received a very disturbing message from the SPCA saying that nobody had claimed her and they would humanely euthanise her!!!!
I immediately called the SPCA to find out if they had already euthanised her as it was supposed to happen today but they had not gotten round to it so she is still alive…I have no idea what has happened about her babies as they did not disclose that information but I’m pretty sure they would have aborted them and euthanised them.

I had someone who was willing to adopt her but her landlord said no…I have asked the SPCA just to give me 1 day to see if I could find a home for her.

So here I am asking…NO begging for someone to adopt her please or she will be put to sleep within the next day if I don’t come up with a home.
I had foster care in place for her but the SPCA won’t release her to foster care.

Please can someone help me save her life..she is so sweet and does not deserve to die. 💔😢

Please help Cape Town!!!

ADOPTED!

UP FOR ADOPTION!

Kelis is an 8 year old sterilised Sphynx girl who is sadly for the 3rd time looking for a home. 😒

Her 1st home rehomed her when her owners emigrated to Australia and now her 2nd home has moved into an apartment after the landlord agreed she could keep her 2 cats has now changed his mind saying that they cannot keep the cats so she now needs to be rehomed again!

Kelis is a very loving girl and loves to cuddle and sleep under the duvet with her humans

Please note that I am looking for a Sphynx experienced home that knows and understands the breed and obviously this is a strictly indoor cat so please don’t apply if you are not an experienced Sphynx owner.
NO dogs and no very small children please.

Please WhatsApp me telling me a little about you environment and experience with the breed…if I don’t respond then it means that I feel your home is not correct for this particular cat.

Kelis is based in Cape Town and will be placed in Cape Town only.
Strict home checks apply.

Sadly all the Persians rescued from the breeder in Kempton Park were put to sleep.

Persians do NOT do well in a welfare environment and will deteriorate…they should have been in foster care.
The breed also needs people who understand the breed and the common Persian breathing problems they have.

I’m sure if these cats were placed in foster care with experienced Persian owners or Persian rescue they would all be alive today.

The cats seen in the pics below do not look like they are severely ill…my heart is so sore for the life these cats had and how their lives ended…they never knew love and were never cared for.

RIP beautiful angels…I pray the humans will pay for the harm they brought upon you all. 😢💔

Beautiful Coco has been adopted.

Coco went to her new home today and is already starting to explore.
I have placed her in one of my Sphynx homes that already has Sphynx adopted from me….thank you Emile and Salome, I know that Coco is in amazing hands! 🩷

Thank you to all the lovely Sphynx homes that came forward to adopt…I’d love to consider your homes in the future for a Sphynx. 🙂

Go well Coco! 😻

ADOPTED!

Up for adoption!

Coco is 4 years old and is currently looking for her new forever home.

Please only contact me for adoption if you are an experienced Sphynx owner and are very well aware of the breed’s needs and requirements.

Coco will not be placed in a home with dogs or small children, she will need to be in an indoor only home preferably with someone who is home during the day and not left alone for long periods.

Preference will be given to homes that have already adopted Sphynx from me otherwise very strict home checks apply…Coco will only be placed in Cape Town.

If you are the correct home please WhatsApp me telling me a little about your environment and other pets and family.

Up for adoption!

Diva is a sterilised 7year old Chinchilla girl and Lucy also 7 years old sterilised Calico Persian are sadly looking for a new home.
Their mom lost her husband 11 months ago and feels that she emotionally can no longer care for her cars.

These girls are currently indoor only cats and need to go to a home together where they will either be indoor only or on a cat proof property. They cannot be placed in a home with dogs or young children.
A quiet stable environment please…Chinchillas bond with one person and struggle in new homes so it is going to be very stressful for the Chinchilla to move. 🙁

I am preferably looking for a Persian experienced home however will look at a home that has not owned the breed as long as they are willing to learn and be dedicated cat lovers…these cats require intense grooming and regular veterinary care as well as a veterinary diet.

If you are willing to adopt these two girls and fit the requirements please WhatsApp me a little information regarding your home environment at 083 269 4304.

Please note if I don’t respond to your WhatsApp I am not being rude it’s just that I feel your environment is not correct for these 2 particular cats…I don’t have time to respond to every message unfortunately.

Strict home checks apply.
Cape Town area only please.

My name WAS Charlie and this morning I woke up just like any other day in my big lovely house like i have been for the last 12 years with my best friend the poodle…care free and not in anybody’s way just doing cat things and living my best life.

How was I to know that this would be my last morning…you see the lady I lived with that fed me every day and cared for me whom I loved and trusted decided she no longer wanted me and took me for my last trip to the vet, I have no idea what I did wrong or why she no longer wanted me all I know is that I never got to say goodbye to my poodle friend and tomorrow my friend will wake up and I’m not there….my life was taken from me for no apparent reason other than I was just no longer wanted!

I was contacted today by the lady’s daughter in-law for help and I contacted my friend Nikita who actively and fiercely helps domestic cats and she let me know this evening that she had a home for him but when I let the daughter in-law know she let me know that sadly Charlie was taken to the vet earlier to be put to sleep.

We were too late to help Charlie…I wonder if people realise how this affects cat lovers like myself and Nikita and how for nights to come we don’t sleep….we were only contacted a few hours ago for help but we weren’t quick enough and now Charlie is dead!!

Cats are not objects they are living, breathing little souls…they are NOT there to be disposed of like trash when you no longer feel the need to care for them.

I have been doing rescue for +- 20 years and I STILL can’t understand how people can be so disgustingly cruel, cold and inhumane!!

Thank you Nikita and Nicky for trying! 🩷

I am sorry Charlie we failed you! 💔
