Cat Adoption in Sydney

Posted by Dr. Kristie Mientka on 29-Mar-2017 15:28:53

A recent study estimates there to be somewhere between 2.1 and 6.3 million feral animals in Australia. PPVH is committed to helping decrease this number by working closely with organizations such as the Community Cat Carers and Cat Rescue 901. We vet check, desex, vaccinate and deworm the animals, with the intent of finding them all homes. 

Having never interacted with humans, the cats often come in to the clinic scared and shy, but we work diligently to get them used to the human touch. Sometimes you'll even see us carrying around small kittens in our scrub tops! This gets them used to the sound of human voices and our scent. 

Currently, we have a litter of three (previously four - one just got adopted!) very sweet, 4 month old kittens. They have turned into very well socialized and affectionate cats. 

Check Me-owt! I'm up for adoption (along with two siblings- see below!) at Potts Point Vet. Come and meet me today!
