KOBE AND KENTUCKY - TO BE ADOPTED TOGETHER

Kobe and Kentucky are just the sweetest, most gentle boys, beautiful grey n white lads. Kobe is the braver of the two and loves a head rub and cuddles and is first to greet any visitors. 

Kentucky is more shy, especially with strangers, but when he knows you he will just flop at your feet for a cuddle and snuggle into your shoulder purring flat out! Kentucky had flu badly after being rescued from the side of the motorway in winter last year and has been left with a bit of a chronic snuffle but doesn’t require any meds for it.  

These two are brothers and bonded so will need to stay together as Kobe is Kentucky's support cat. They are good with other cats and with dogs but haven’t met children so would suit a quieter house.

PUGSLEY AND FOREST - TO BE ADOPTED TOGETHER

Pugsley is a super handsome dude with a charming personality. He is an amazing snuggler and biscuit maker. Although he is shy to begin with, he is an attention seeker once he knows you love him. He is best suited in a quieter household or with older children. “Brother” Forest is a gorgeous wee man that is very placid and sweet. He can be a bit shy but loves cuddles once he trusts you and has the greatest purr. Best suited to a home with older children. We would love if these two boys could be adopted together as they have formed a beautiful little friendship.

FLICK AND DASH - TO BE ADOPTED TOGETHER TO AN INDOOR ONLY HOME

​

Flick (blank and white) Dash (tabby and white) are a bonded pair that must go together to an indoor only home. They are special cats that need a super special home. Flick has a neurological issue which means she wobbles when she walks. Our vet believes it is a congenital condition which makes her a bit uncoordinated but shouldn’t require ongoing medical care.

Flick and Dash are both super playful and happy. Shy to begin with, Dash is the braver of the two and likes most people on her own terms. She likes to check everything out! Flick takes a little longer to trust people but will generally watch and follow Dash. When Flick gets zoomies nothing stops her! They are curious and a bit mischievous, they like watching TV with their foster parents. Both love to play and then sleep and solar recharge in the sun. They would best suit a home without kids or other animals.

Lumos first came into foster care at Purrs & Beans as a feisty wee 3-month-old kitten. She was adopted shortly after however earlier last year she was unfortunately returned to Purrs & Beans, through no fault of her own.

It has been a traumatising experience for her, suffice to say. The team has poured in a lot of time and effort to really love on her and get her confidence back as well as resocialise her. It's been quite the journey but she is in a good place now and ready to start her new chapter with a new forever family.

Lumos is a chatty gal who shows affection by way of head boops. When she's feeling extra smoochy, she enjoys hopping in your lap for a snuggle. She is also an avid baker so if she is not on your lap, she can often be found 'making biscuits' on her favourite bed.

She will be best in a quiet home (adults only, or teen children will be OK) and one in which she'll have a set routine in place. She is all good to be the only cat in the home, or equally fine with other cats of similar age (3+) as long as the time is taken to introduce them properly - you will be provided guidance on how to do this. Most importantly, her humans must be in a stable, settled living situation and home environment, committed to providing Lumos with the best care and all the love she deserves for her whole lifetime. The last thing we want is for her to be returned again so we are looking for serious, experienced cat parents who will have the time and patience to get her settled back into home life.

Sushi (previously Snow) is a kind little soul that has graduated from the Paw Pad and moved into foster. This little lady was initially quite scared and spent a lot of time hiding under the bed until we brought her home a naughty tortie kitten friend to show her the ropes. Sushi has come on in leaps and bounds and is now found chasing (or being chased) around the house by the kitten and loves saying hi to everyone, especially around dinner time! She's very smoochy, gentle and kind natured, and loves a head and back scratch! If you have a packet of temptations she will be anyone's friend! She's currently living with 6 adults and a kitten and would be best suited to a quiet life without kids but gets on well with other cats.

Cleo is the sweetest cat, she loves hanging out with her humans. She's been a caring mum to three kittens and is now longing for her new home. She has a talent for high jumps and you'll find her asleep in the highest grounds, but any call for her and she'll come right to you! She's very soft and loving, yet playful. She is fully litter trained. She does not get along with other female cats.

Pat is an inquisitive cat, very gentle and great with other cats. He loves to chase and play. When he gets used to you, he is snuggly and affectionate. He is a good-looking boy with beautiful markings.

OSIRIS AND NEITH - TO BE ADOPTED TOGETHER 

Siblings Osiris and Neith are a gorgeous, fun and adorable duo. Osiris is sweet, gentle and a bit of a shy guy and Neith is independent, confident and super affectionate (once she gets to know you). They are both very playful and love exploring the outdoors. Whilst not lap cats, or cats that like being picked up and cuddled, they are both very affectionate and adore belly rubs. These 2 have been with the same foster since they came into Gutter Kitties care at 7 weeks old so are going to need time and patience in their new home to adjust and accept their new family and environment. Neith is a stubborn wee thing who will remain very aloof until you prove you're worthy but once that happens she becomes a wee snuggle bug who demands to sleep in the bed with you. Osiris is shy and it takes a bit to get over his fear and meet new people but is all affection once he accepts you as his human - he will greet you with a roly poly to demand belly rubs. Osiris and

Neith are best suited to a quiet home with no young children and humans who are willing to put in the time to settle them in and win their trust. They are not suited to be indoor cats and will need cat savvy humans to help them adjust to their new home.

TRIPP AND DAISY

​

BONDED PAIR LOOKING FOR AN INDOOR ONLY HOME

Despite a rocky start, being rescued from our recent South Auckland colony, Tripp and Daisy are thriving! Daisy is missing one eye, and Tripp is missing a limb and an eye, with limited eyesight in the remaining one. For this reason they require an indoor only home, a catio would be an awesome bonus.
Don't be fooled by their 'disabilities' - they are super active and as far as they know they are just kittens. The thundering through the house at 4am is proof of that! They are both excellent with litter trays, adore other cats and have mastered using scratchers.
They are probably better with slightly older kids who are more responsible about keeping them inside. A cat savvy dog could be discussed.

BIRCH AND ELM - TO BE ADOPTED TOGETHER

​

Birch and Elm met in their current foster home and hit it off straight away. Brothers from another mother! Birch is the more out going of the two and loves head and chin scratches, he is so curious when you’re doing things around the house and will roll on his back playfully if you ignore him and he wants pets. Elm is a bit more timid than Birch, but loves a chin scratch and plays very nicely with Birch. He’s a big purrer! He is also extremely chatty and chirpy which is absolutely adorable considering how shy he is. Elm gains a lot of confidence off Birch. They will need a quiet patient home with no kids, however would do well with a quiet calm dog who give them their space. They are fostered with other cats and a dog which they are unbothered about. It will take them a little while to settle into their new home, but once they do they will be amazing companions.

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.

Steve (or Estefan, his self-selected name around the house) is a handsome boy full to the brim with love - when he’s not being lovingly chaotic. He’s chatty, a picky eater (chicken/chicken flavor only please and thank you), and has some allergies/dangerous farts, but his favorite place in the world is a warm lap (so much so we found it difficult to find photos with him not in one). He’s a bit of a tripping hazard too - if he’s not in your lap he likes to be glued to your ankles, so he’d be best for young families where he can get his fill of affection and not endanger any elderly hips. He’s been raised indoors, so indoor homes preferred.

This smoochy girl is quiet at first, but quickly warms up to everyone, purring as soon as she sees you, and wants endless amounts of cuddles. She will happily curl up in your lap or on your shoulder and purr in your ear. She is great with kids, including young children.
Will suit most homes.

Birch is a very sweet boy and will roll over and expose his belly to you once he trusts you. He is shy at first, he can even look a bit grumpy, but is very happy to get pats from people he trusts. Every day he is getting friendlier and his foster mum gets to see a beautiful personality which his new family will enjoy once he’s settled. He is getting more confident with the resident dog but a slow introduction and a calm dog is necessary if you’re wanting to welcome him into a home with a pre-existing dog. He plays nicely with his foster siblings so would do well in a house with or without other animals. Because he can be timid, he would be best with older calm children who will give him time to settle in.

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.

FUDGE AND BENJI - TO BE ADOPTED TOGETHER

​

Fudge and Benji are brothers whose confidence and love has grown tremendously in a quiet, patient home. At nearly two years old, they are both very laid-back, reserved cats but have unique personalities. Fudge is very food motivated and will try to entice you into an early dinner by asking for lots of head pats. He loves chasing a laser pointer, stringy toys, and batting around a cork bottle stopper. He is very curious, and always looking out the window for a bug to jump at. Benji is a bit slower than his brother and prefers to lounge on top of his cat tree or on any cushion he can find. You can always find him sitting in funny positions. He also enjoys playing with the same toys, but prefers if he doesn’t have to move far to catch them. Neither cat likes to sit in a lap just yet, but every week they are joining us on the couch and bed more and more to ask for pats and sleep near us. They are also fantastic at only scratching up their cat tower. They are quite shy with strangers so will need time to warm up, but they are starting to say hello to guests when they come over.

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.

Scar is a handsome, friendly and sociable boy looking for his forever home. He is very playful, but also loves to curl up on your chest or lap for a nap. At his current foster home he has lived with another male cat and they get along famously. He’s a very special boy and his foster family will miss him lots.

He is not a fussy eater and has been enjoying a mixture of biscuits and wet food.

Although he has previously been an outdoor cat, his foster family have kept him indoors. He has had not issues with using his litter box.

Bickie is a confident and loving young lady. She's done her dash with children and is looking for a place to retire and enjoy the good life after raising her four boisterous young ones. Bickie loves a smooch and a scratch. She doesn't mind being held and will happily rub against you while you do. She's a loyal girl who will follow you around with a story to tell and is always happy to rub up against a leg or hand. She's very food motivated and will befriend you instantly for a treat. She doesn't shy away from visitors, anyone can be a friend as long as they bring snacks! She will do fine in a house with kids, she's been there already! She'll do fine in a house by herself, she may need some introduction time with another cat before she settles in. She would not do well in a home with dogs.

Syd was an extremely shy boy on arrival...it took home a few weeks to settle in but he loves a pat now. He is wary of new rooms/places and meeting new people. He will take some time and patience to settle in his new home. He is rooming with Mario & Lucy so could be adopted with one of them but will be fine on his own in a quieter home.

Elm was the shiest in his litter, he is getting more confident day by day but needs a loving supportive home that will help him continue to grow. He is a purrer! His foster mum will pat him and he will purr instantly, she thinks he is the sweetest boy and in the right home he will be an amazing companion. Elm will take time to settle so a patient, calm household is a must. No dogs or children would be ideal as they can overwhelm him. He does zoomies with his foster siblings at early hours of the morning and loves his treat puzzles
