Meet Abyss,

At first, Abyss might seem a little reserved, watching the world with wide, curious eyes from a safe spot. He’s a cautious little guy, but give him a bit of time (and maybe a fun toy or two), and you’ll see his confidence bloom!

Once he feels safe, Abyss transforms into the sweetest cuddle buddy. He’ll chase after toys, pounce with excitement, and then curl up for snuggles—rewarding you with the softest purrs to show his trust.

Abyss is a gentle soul who just needs a little patience to show his affectionate side. If you're looking for a loving, playful, and oh-so-sweet kitten, Abyss is ready to be your new best friend!

Abyss would be suitable for most homes. He would make a great mate for kids and is open to meet children of any age as long as they are understanding of his needs.

Just like all kittens, Abyss would love a cat tree to climb on and scratch, and an assortment of toys to play with. He should be fed kitten food multiple times a day to ensure that he grow up big and strong. Abyss is already litter trained, but it’s best to show him where the litter tray is when you get home to minimise any accidents.

If you’ve got other animals at home, that’s okay, just make sure that they have a slow & controlled introduction.

Recovered Cat Flu: Historically cat flu has had a negative reputation and can often deter people from adopting; but you wouldn’t actually be able to tell a recovered cat flu cat from a non-cat flu cat. The truth is that many cat flu cats will live happy, healthy, long lives in their new home. So, what is it? Cat flu is caused by a virus. Humans can’t catch it, but other cats can; but only if the cat is showing flu symptoms. Stressful situations like desexing, or a dramatic change in environment can lead to a recovered cat experiencing cat flu again, but this is usually short lived and rarely requires medical intervention. Most cats will recover on their own providing their vaccines are up to date.

Post Adoption Life: With all animals it’s important to understand that going into a new environment with new people may not be as seamless as we want it to be. It’s important to know that these animals have unknown histories - most are left in the shelter by their owners. The information we have is from observing the animal’s behaviours & reactions to certain stimuli whilst in our care. Adopted animals can take up to 3 months to properly decompress from post-shelter life & a lot of behaviours & quirks may surface during this time. All that we ask is that their new owners have an open mind & are patient.
