GUTTER KITTIES

Adoption fees help us to recover some of our costs associated with vet bills (desexing, vaccinations & emergency treatment), flea and worm treatment, food and litter whilst in our care.
All cats and kittens will be desexed, microchipped, registered on the NZ Companion Animal Register, have at least their first vaccination and be up to date with flea & worm treatments prior to adoption.
All cats and kittens adopted from Gutter Kitties are now entitled to 30 days free pet health insurance!

Lucy and Fern
These two lovely ladies are seeking a super special home, together or separately, where they will be loved and accepted for who they are. Both Lucy and
Fern are very timid. While they have made progress in foster care, they require adopters who won’t expect too much too soon and are willing to put in the work and be very patient in earning their trust. In return, we know they will blossom into gentle and loving family members with time. As many people who have chanced adopting shy souls like these two know, sometimes the best things in life take time!
Lucy is the more confident of the two and has become brave enough to enjoy pats and chin scratches from her foster family. While still enjoying the outdoors, she is mainly an inside cat and loves to relax by the fire in the evenings; while she may not be a lap cat yet, she enjoys the company of her humans in this environment.
Fern is timid and gentle, but luckily very food motivated! This will be key in earning her trust, which will take plenty of time and patience. She is an inquisitive little lady and enjoys exploring both indoors and outdoors. While she doesn’t enjoy being picked up, Fern
is affectionate to her foster family and will give bunts with her face and loves firm strokes in return. Fern
is still growing in confidence; her latest achievement in foster care was her brave ascent onto the couch, where she sat next to her foster mum!
Both girls are still on high alert to perceived danger such as strangers and loud sounds, as they are still learning to feel fully safe in their environment. Their confidence will grow with time and stability in their forever homes like it has in foster care. They sleep in their foster parents' room now and won't go downstairs without one of them where they hang around and can be quite loving.
While Lucy and Fern may not be the easiest choice, we know their perfect home(s) are out there somewhere. Will you take a chance and become the happily ever after they deserve? Lucy and
Fern are fostered with a calm and cat-friendly dog and are looking for a quiet and gentle home.
Adoption Fee: $300 with Fern or $180 on her own

Female
Minnie is a sweet older lady at around 13 years young. She arrived as a stray but has obviously been somebody’s beloved pet, as she is very comfortable indoors and around people.
She vocalises to let you know if she wants food (meows) or to play (a small yowl), and headbutts for affection. Her favourite toy is a ‘mouse’ on a string, and she keeps her foster parents busy chasing it up and down the hallway after breakfast.
Minnie hasn’t often leapt into a lap, but she’s becoming more inclined to lap-sit as the weather cools. She is affectionate and enjoys spending time with the humans in her foster home.
She’ll move out of range of a boisterous child, but she is happy to be petted by a gentle one. Scratches around the head and chin will have her purring ‘full noise’.
Minnie may be allergic to flea or mosquito bites, so exposure to them should be avoided where possible.
This lovely lady will make an excellent companion or someone wanting a mature cat who still loves to play.

PUGSLEY AND FOREST - TO BE ADOPTED TOGETHER
Pugsley is a super handsome dude with a charming personality. He is an amazing snuggler and biscuit maker. Although he is shy to begin with, he is an attention seeker once he knows you love him. He is best suited in a quieter household or with older children. “Brother” Forest is a gorgeous wee man that is very placid and sweet. He can be a bit shy but loves cuddles once he trusts you and has the greatest purr. Best suited to a home with older children. We would love if these two boys could be adopted together as they have formed a beautiful little friendship.
Adoption Fee: $300 for the pair

Meet Andy – long term Paw Pad graduate and your future reality-TV buddy
Andy is wonderful boy with a big personality and an even bigger love of cuddles. His favourite place in the world is your lap, especially if there’s reality TV on. If you’re settling in for an evening on the couch, Andy will happily join you as your loyal viewing companion.
Andy is a real character. He has some very particular habits — including putting books in his litter tray and carefully separating his pees and poos (a tidy gentleman!). He also loves to follow his humans around the house, especially if food might be involved.
Because Andy prefers to be the centre of attention, he’s looking for a home with no other animals where he can truly shine.
Andy hasn’t had a permanent home before, so he will need a patient family while he learns that a whole house is his to explore. In foster care he settled in quickly with his people, although he only had access to part of the house at the time. With a little patience and kindness, he’ll grow in confidence before eventually transitioning to outdoor access.
Andy has so much love to give and is ready to find the home and family he truly deserves. If you’re looking for a cuddly companion with a quirky personality, Andy might just be your perfect match.

Looking to adopt? Look no further Nala is ready for you!
Nala (formally known as Chicken) is a happy, energetic kitty that loves to play. If you enjoy playing games, being entertained and will be a one cat household, Nala is the best family addition for you!
She loves to make up her own games, play fetch, kick a ping pong ball or any object she can flick around and chase. Zoomies is one of her favourite past times and when she is ready for a rest she will go to a quiet spot on her own - this could be tucked up in the linen closet or inside the duvet cover! Nala will sleep on her chosen bed for the night and will wake and get up when you do. She is not really a lap cat but will sleep and sit close to you where she can still get her expected pats and occasionally show off and sit on your lap but only while you're in a zoom meeting to get the extra attention!
Nala can be cheeky and can test the limits but makes up for it by falling by your feet, rolling around for pats and being all smoochie. The majority of the time she is well behaved, always uses her litter tray, keeps herself clean and is just such a joy to be around. Nala is best suited to a calm, easy going household with teenage children who will give her all the love, energy and attention she deserves. She does not like other animals.
