The Cat Protection Society of Victoria Needs New Homes For Kittens Like These

Is there a fluffy, cat-shaped hole in your life? Have you been looking for an excuse to fill it? If so, consider this your calling.

With the annual kitten season in full swing and an influx of rescues on its hands, the Cat Protection Society of Victoria (CPSV) is putting the call out for feline-friendly homes, mainly for kittens, but also some Mama cats. Most of the animals are either surrendered as kittens or rescued by Council rangers and in need of TLC, medical attention and loving new homes.

If you're keen to adopt one of these furballs, it'll cost you $120, which includes all the necessities — microchipping, desexing, vaccinations, parasite treatment, a full vet check and a two-week health cover. Recently desexed cats will also get free follow-up vet care and CPSV will be on hand to help out with questions and follow-ups long after each adoption is complete.

You'll also need lots of toys for them to play with, proper food for them to eat and plenty of attention to give. In return, you'll score a new best mate and a whole lotta cuddles.

"Kittens are highly interactive and playful so make a great new addition to the family," said Natalya Dundovic, Animal Behaviour Consultant at CPSV. "As they're easy to toilet train, are small, need less formal exercise and eat less than dogs, they can make the perfect pet."

With the local kitten season running from September through to April, and cats able to give birth to as many as three litters in that time, the CPSV needs your help big time, hoping to find homes for more than 700 kittens this season alone.
