REALITY CHECK
 
Pets are not disposable.

Over 250,000 unwanted pets are killed in pounds and shelters in Australia every year, just because they can't find homes.

These are innocent animals, whose original human companions did not take responsibility
for them.

Be part of the solution. Adopt a rescue pet.

Sponsor a catIngrid and the cats would like to thank the Robertson, Devagnanam, Reddi and Shaw families for their generous donations. They couldn't pick just one cat to sponsor, so the donation is to help all!
A very generous donation has been made to the Haven in memory of Glenda Boscoe, a lady who loved animals all her life.



 
GladysGladys
Gladys, the purring cat. Gladys is middle aged, loves people and has a sunny out look on life. She moved in at the shelter, took every day as it comes and immediately made friends with many of the other cats she shares her enclosure with and she is always available for a cuddle. Gladys is a relaxed cat and would suit in any kind of household but Gladys has got the aids virus. The virus has not taken hold but being a FIV cat she must live inside, her worming, vaccinations must be up to scratch, she should she her vet twice a year, she can live with other cats provided they are vaccinated against the virus. Please google FIV, it is not a life sentence that must end with euthanasia, instead these cats can live long happy lives and it cannot spread to humans. Take the ignorance out of the word aids and so many of these cats could find lovely caring homes.

Gladys is proudly sponsored by Helen, cat Mindy in memory of Lucky.

RosaBjorn
Björn is a little bit lost but he is a purring machine. His coat is semi long hair, he hasn’t got a bad bone in his body and it wasn’t his fault he was taken as a free kitten and then got abandoned as soon as he became inconvenient. When you move it is very easy to put the cat in the carrier and take the cat with you. No rocket science there. Unfortunately Björn’s and almost every other cat I have here have faced the same fate.
What kind of lesson are these people teaching their kids?

Bjorn is proundly sponosred by Graham, Carlee, cats Daisy and Willamina.
 
 

ClaudiaTara
Tara, well, she is unhappy and that with reason. She was thoughtlessly and cruelly abandoned to the pound to be destroyed by strangers. Her owner didn’t even have the guts to be with her when she was to be put to death. Tara is named after a beautiful woman I know and this will help her into a brighter future and a home that will put her previous one to great shame. Tara should be an only cat at least to begin with, she needs to get some order in her life and then add a kitten or more.

Tara is proudly sponsored by Catherine and Justin, and cats Omah, Tula and Ned.


Ian needs your loveRonnie
Ronnie a few years old and the most wonderful cat, really no need to adopt him as I will miss out on him then. We are in love, he is my shadow whenever I am in his enclosure. But Ronnie was very sick a year or so ago. He was tested for everything, his mouth was raw and in the end we put it down to calici virus which will test negative once it is chronic. I ended up having all his teeth removed, it hasn’t affected his smile at all but should he live with other cats these cats must be kept vaccinated as well as Ronnie himself. He eats wet food but also inhales dry food. He is like a new cat and I have a feeling he would be the happiest with an owner all to himself though he gets on well with other felines.

Ronnie is proudly sponsored by Emma, in memory of Zona.
