Animals in our care

Name: Ken

Breed: Chihuahua Cross (Possibly with some Foxie mix). Ken has more of the mix in him than his sisters. His sisters have mostly Chihuahua traits.

Age: Approximately 3.5 months

Personality Traits: Ken is a gentle-natured puppy who thrives on human and dog companionship. He is very sociable and loves being around people and other pets. Despite his young age, he has a calm demeanor and is eager to please. Ken would make a wonderful addition to a family or to anyone looking for a loyal and affectionate companion.

Background: Ken's journey hasn't been easy. He was found abandoned in a park, along with his sisters, during a rainy day. Fortunately, they were rescued and taken to an animal welfare vet where they received treatment for hypothermia. Afterwards, Ken ended up in a council shelter as a stray where he was taken into rescue care and completed his impound time in the comfort of a foster home. He has since recovered and is thriving, gaining weight and growing stronger every day.

Health: Ken has been desexed and has received his 1st and 2nd vaccinations. He is now a healthy and happy puppy ready to find his forever home.

Ideal Home: Ken is looking for a loving home where he can be both an inside and outside dog. He enjoys spending time outdoors and is used to having the freedom to come and go during the day, preferring to sleep inside at night. He is still a puppy and will need training, including attending puppy school, to help him learn and grow into a well-behaved adult dog.

Training and Motivation: Ken is full of energy and loves to play. He is highly motivated by dry liver treats and milky sticks, making him a joy to train. With consistent guidance and positive reinforcement, he will thrive and become a wonderful companion for years to come.

If you're looking for a loving and loyal puppy to join your family or brighten your life with companionship, Ken might be the perfect match for you. Reach out to DCH Animal Adoptions to learn more about Ken and how you can give him the loving home he deserves.

Location: Foster Home in the Quakers Hill area

Skye is a very special kitten and is looking for an extraordinary family to love her. She came into DCH care with her mama (Sabrina) and 6 siblings, all suffering from cat flu. Whilst Skye was one of 4 siblings who survived cat flu with mama, she suffered permanent blindness in her left eye, and was also born with cerebellar hypoplasia (aka "wobbly cat syndrome"), a rare neurological disorder that causes swaying while standing or walking/running. However, the disorder is not progressive nor contagious, and she is perfectly fine in every other way.

Skye is playful, affectionate, sweet and obviously a warrior. She has plenty of spirit and personality and never lets her physical challenges get her down. She loves climbing cat trees, playing with her siblings and kitten toys (such as balls and plushies), and coming in for cuddles and snuggles.

She loves wet and dry kitten food. She is toilet-trained on pellets and crystals. She is respectful of furniture, clothes and shoes. She is fantastic with other kittens, cats, children and adults. She is quiet and incredibly inspiring to live with - she never lets anything get her down.

Skye will be available to join her forever home in August 2024 after she has an operation to remove her blind eye (she needs to be 6 months for the operation to have a best chance of success). Looking after Skye is just like looking after a normal kitten. She is strong, can see clearly in her other eye and is getting better at controlling her wobbliness.

If you are looking for an extraordinary kitten who is sweet, affectionate, playful, and brave, Skye would love to meet you.

Madeleine is one of 4 surviving kittens from a litter of 7 rescued by DCH. She is the most ladylike and gentle of her siblings and just loves to cuddle and lie next to you. She is a stunning-looking kitten with soft white fur, with a grey tail and grey tips on her ears.

Madeleine contracted cat flu at 2 weeks of age but she fought it bravely and has recovered within 2 weeks without any lasting impact. She loves to eat wet and dry kitten food. She is litter-trained on pellets and crystals. She is fantastic with other kittens and cats as well as children and adults. Despite being the runt of the family, she is also the most adventurous, wanting to explore her surroundings and follow you around. She is also respectful of furniture, clothes and shoes.

Madeline has been microchipped and has received her first vaccination. If you are looking for a sweet, gentle, ladylike kitten to join your household, Madeleine would love to meet you.

Sabrina came into DCH care as a young mum of 7 kittens with cat flu. Sabrina and 4 of her kittens survived cat flu under DCH care. She received within a week, without any lasting effects. She is a beautiful, smoochy, friendly cat who loves nothing more than to cuddle and snuggle with you.

She is an extremely friendly cat. She is fantastic with children and adults. She is currently untested with dogs and would need to be introduced to other cats slowly if she is in the company of her kittens. She loves to play with cat toys like plushies and balls. She also likes climbing cat trees and sitting next to you when you're watching tv or reading.

Sabrina is litter-trained, quiet, and loves dry and wet cat food. She is respectful of furniture, clothes and shoes. She has been microchipped and vaccinated and will be ready to join her new family in June once she has weaned her kittens and been desexed.

If you are looking for a cat who is serene, calm, smoochy and low-maintenance, Sabrina would love to meet you.

Flynn is a beautiful, adventurous, playful kitten who came into DCH care with his mama (Sabrina) and 7 siblings with cat flu. Flynn recovered from cat flu within 2 weeks with no lasting effects. He is friendly, playful and strong.

Flynn likes to climb cat trees and play with kitten toys such as balls and plushies. He loves to eat dry kitten food and is litter-trained on pellets and crystals. He plays hard but also sleeps hard. When he is tired, he likes to sleep next to you as you watch tv or read.

Flynn is quiet and respectful of furniture, clothes and shoes. He is fantastic with other kittens, cats, children and adults. He has been microchipped and received his first vaccination.

If you are looking for a beautiful kitten with unique markings, who is playful and affectionate, Flynn would love to meet you.

Daisy should have been named Dennis-the-menace as she is the most playful kitten her foster carer has come across!
She is constantly running around the house, jumping on toys, wrestling the resident cat, climbing onto the indoor pot plants, batting at your toes and loving life. She is a super energetic cat and LOVES playing...whether it's chasing toys, climbing the scratching tree, swiping at feathers or jumping on your head as you sleep.

Daisy likely won't be a super snuggly, cuddly type of cat, but she will have a snooze beside you, and you can pick her up for a smooch and a cuddle....she would just rather be active and playing! She starts purring instantly whenever you pat her, and she will definitely keep you entertained with her antics.

Because of her outgoing personality she must be rehomed to a household with an existing cat, and a strictly indoor only home. (She would be a proficient hunter and decimate wildlife if allowed outside!) Daisy is going through a phase of playing and trying to wrestle with your hand so is better suited to a home without young children at this time.

Daisy has never had a toileting accident and always uses her litter tray, and we're teaching her to use her scratching post consistently. She is available to meet and greet in Riverstone, NSW and will be able to go to her new home as soon as she is desexed.

Pilkington is a stunning, cheeky, resilient, champagne ginger kitten who was found by a compassionate member of the public at an abandoned housing estate, alone and hungry. He came into DCH care and has thrived.

Pilkington contracted cat flu from some other foster kittens but he recovered within 3 days with no lasting effects. He is playful, cheeky and affectionate. He is fantastic with cats, kittens, children and adults. He loves climbing cat trees and playing with kitten toys like balls and plushies.

He loves eating dry and wet kitten food. He plays hard and sleeps hard. When he is pooped out he loves to cuddle and lie next to you. He is litter-trained on pellets and crystals. He is also respectful of furniture, clothes and shoes. Pilkington will be ready to join his forever home from 17 April 2024 after his desexing procedure.

If you are looking for a friendly, playful, strong kitten, Pilkington would love to meet you.
