SPECIAL HOME NEEDED FOR A VERY SPECIAL KITTY

The beautiful Bella has been at Purrs & Beans since she was a wee 3-week-old so she has been waiting a long time for her forever home! Bella was born with no muscle control in her rear which has resulted in her being fully incontinent. She doesn’t know she’s any different though and is truly the ideal companion kitty - she’s a sociable sweetheart who likes being around people (+ other cats), she loves laps and she still enjoys playtime.

To keep her happy and healthy, Bella needs humans who have the time and capacity to manage her day-to-day / ongoing care. Please message Purrs & Beans directly if you want to know more about her condition and what’s involved - all extremely manageable and Bella will more than make up for it with her winning personality!

MILO AND MURPHY - TO BE ADOPTED TOGETHER

​

Murphy is out going and curious. He likes to check everything out and get up to mischief while Milo is happy to sit back and watch his brother get into trouble. Both boys are super playful, chatty and love pats, they'll even compete for attention from their humans. They are a very cute and entertaining pair with crazy antics like chasing tails... well Murphy does that, Milo is just too dignified  They are incredibly bonded, always near each other and even use the litter box together  so we won't be separating them. They would suit a home with older children as they can both be nervous around new people or loud noises.

Henna is a gorgeous, super affectionate Mumma cat that has done a great job raising her babies but it's time to find her own loving family to pamper her and spoil her rotten. She was so hard to photograph as she just wants to smooch and roll around. She is so lovely that she would suit most households.

I am a playful and sweet little bean. I am confident and have a lot of energy. I love other cats. I am not a kitty that loves to be picked up but I LOVE to climb on my humans and cuddle up to them when they are sitting still.

Fudge is a playful boy that loves other cats. He is curious and sweet but is not particularly fond of lots of pats and doesn't like to sit on your lap. He will sometimes come for short pats when you're sitting quietly. He really needs an understanding, quiet, single or couple who are prepared to give him time to blossom and become more affectionate, as he has shown signs that he can be.

Fudge will do best being adopted with his brother Benji or with joining an existing cat household. He is not suited to a household with young children and we are not sure how he would go with a dog.

Sharon is a super affectionate and chatty lady who believes everyone she meets is a potential new friend. She's a real character with a loud and gravelly voice and she gives her opinions freely. She's very playful and through play she is slowly but surely learning to use the scratching post.

Sharon loves to give smooches and will bestow her affection without expecting anything in return. She is prone to giving love bites when she just doesn't know how to contain her affection (or she's had enough pats) but these don't hurt and she never breaks the skin.

Sharon is being treated for a suspected flea allergy so her fur is a bit patchy and she has the odd bald spot at present but this is getting better every day. The flea allergy means her forever family will need to be diligent in keeping her flea treatments up to date and she may need the odd steroid treatment if it flares up again in future.

Sharon is not a fan of other cats and hasn't been around dogs. Otherwise she will be a great fit in any type of cat savvy household.

DAVE AND WOLF - TO BE ADOPTED TOGETHER

​

These foster brothers and best mates bonded at the shelter. They often groom each other and curl up together after a playful rough-and-tumble session. They’ve settled into their routine nicely since they arrived at their foster home in September 2023.

Dave (tabby) is three years old. He’s shy with new people at first, but once you earn his trust he’s a big soft purr machine. He loves his pats, the blanket on the couch, and exploring the house. He’s discovered the human’s bed isn’t a bad place to chill either.

Wolf (black) is two years and five months old. He’s confident with a streak of sass, is fine with meeting new people, and sometimes he’ll give you a friendly tap on the arm if you aren’t paying him enough attention at pat time. You might even get a high five now and then if he likes the treats!

Davey and Wolf need to be adopted together, and would thrive in a home with enclosed outdoor access. Unsure how they would feel around other animals or young children, but with plenty of patience, love, and guidance, this duo will be great companions for the right people in their forever home.

Daisy is a very smart, inquisitive cat. She is gentle natured and mostly well behaved. Daisy is shy at first but once she trusts you, she is very loving and cuddly. She is not suitable for young children or dogs and would prefer to be the only cat in the household.

At first James was very shy, needing quiet and time until he was ready to trust. Now that he's settled, James is very curious around the home and relies on human company, whether in the office, or going to bed. He likes his routine and will come running for a treat when called. He is an affectionate boy who loves rubs and scratches all over his body, and face to face smooches.

James will need patience and understanding as he adjusts to a new home with new people. He would prefer a quieter household with a single or couple, and is not suited to dogs or children. He could possibly be ok with other cats if introduced slowly and correctly. Once James has settled he will make a loving and loyal companion.

Benji was super shy when he first arrived and didn't like to be touched very much. After lots of patience and TLC he is now starting to tolerate pats and comes and sits next to you on the couch. He needs a quiet, loving family that is patient and willing to help him continue to come out of his shell. He is not particularly playful but sometimes has a little play fight with his roomies.

Benji would do best being adopted with his brother Fudge or to a home with another cat. He is not suited to a household with small children and we are not sure how he would be with a dog.

STELLA AND TUI - TO BE ADOPTED TOGETHER

​

This adorable pair have been waiting more than 8 months to find their loving forever home 😿 could you be their knight in shining armour?

"Hi everyone, Stella and Tūi again! We're officially 1 year old, we recently had our birthday with our foster family over the Xmas Holidays! Our New Year's Resolution was to find our forever home but that sadly still hasnt happened!

We have both made great progress and worked hard on our shyness. We still don't like strangers, but who does? We are funny, and cute, and playful, and snuggly, you just need to build our trust first.

We love to help out in the office, cuddle with you while you watch tv, give you pointers in the kitchen, and play for hours if you wish! We're happy being by ourselves and will keep each other entertained while the humans are at work. Though we love nothing more than to help out if you're working from home! I've been the star of a few Teams Meetings, Tūi prefers to type out his contributions.

We've decided the outdoors isn't for us, we won't rush to get outside and are happy with the luxury of a window for our neighborhood snooping. Indoors is where all the treats are anyway!

We are both expert bug catchers. We'll hunt down that beetle, spider, or moth, so you don't have to! I have great eyes and will usually let you know we're on the case with my chittering. Tūi prefers a stealthy approach, appearing out of thin air.

We love our foster home and know they will be able to help our forever home bond with us well. They want nothing more than to see us happy with our family.

We'll probably sit still on the stairs during your visit, and might let you have a scratch or two - like I said, we've worked hard on our shyness!! Our foster family will walk you through how to bond with us and are happy to help you bring us out of our shells.

It's been hard watching every other kitten go to their forever homes, we're ready for our family too!! Help us achieve our new years resolution and give our foster mum a call ❤️"

Kevin and Clover are graduating from The Paw Pad!!

They are best of friends, and Clover especially loves his Dad/Uncle/Grandad/Brother (they are two of a big colony we are working with so who knows their true relationship!).

Kevin is around 18 months old. He has a beautiful nature. Very relaxed and chilled, absolutely loves company and if you are there, so is he.

Clover is around 5 months old. He is still full of kitten mischief. Very affectionate but still nervous at this stage with loud noises and fast movements but is taming all the time, and loves people once he settles!

We won't be separating these two so they are a package deal!

Lichen is a beautiful cat. She has been a fantastic mama to her litter of 5. Lichen is a gentle, sweet and kind cat who has a lot of love to give however she is reserved and can spook easily but does love being petted. She’s not ready to climb into your lap but she is ready for lots of love, cuddles and care. She has the potential to be an amazing pet to someone who has time, energy, patience and love to give to her. Ideally she would be adopted with her son Perry or to be an only pet. Suitable for a quiet house only.

Cleo is a beautiful, sweet and gentle lady. She is a real chatterbox and isn’t afraid to let you know what she is thinking. Whilst she isn’t technically a lap cat she loves to be near her human and will happily curl up beside you on the couch or on the floor at your feet. Her gentle nature allows you to pick her up and give her cuddles which she pretends she doesn’t want but actually quite enjoys.

Cleo has done an amazing job raising her four babies and is now looking for a home of her own where she gets the love and attention she deserves. She is good with other cats but hasn’t been around dogs and would suit any type of household.
