Meet Flip,

Flip might be a little shy at first, but give him a moment, and he’ll start purring like a tiny motor, melting right before your eyes in anticipation of love!

This sweet little guy is as gentle as he is affectionate. He enjoys batting at his toys with the softest paws, but when playtime is over, he’ll come straight to you for snuggles and pats. Flip isn’t the loudest kitten in the room - he’s a quiet, loving soul who adores his carers and has a special way of making you feel truly cherished. If you’re looking for a best friend who will warm your heart (and your lap), Flip is ready to flip his way right into your life!

Flip 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, Flip 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. Flip 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.
