Domestic short hair - male - 1 month and 3 weeks
Marlow has arrived - complete with a beautiful grey and white coat and chocolate-speckled freckles on his nose! Marlow and his siblings were found in a plastic bag by the side of the road at 2.5 weeks of age. Under DCH foster care, Marlow (as well as his siblings) have transformed into healthy, strong kittens who are very friendly to humans and get along with other cats and dogs.
Marlow is a playful, cheeky and independent kitten who loves to play with cat toys with humans (as well as on his own), climb cat trees and explore his surroundings. He will also seek cuddles with his human family when he wants to chill. He loves wet and dry kitten food, is litter-trained and will meow softly when waiting for his food. He is also up-to-date with his flea and worm preventative treatment.
Marlow is microchipped and has received his 1st vaccination. If you are looking for a sweet, fun kitten with a keen sense of adventure, then Marlow would love to meet you.
Marlow has been in foster care since 28 May 2022, for 1 month

Maltese x Shih-tzu - female - 9 years and 6 months
Hi all, I'm Chelsea. I was a puppy when given to my human for companionship, however my human will be moving to a Nursing Home next month so I'm on the lookout for a home that will look after me. I am a very healthy 9kg 9 year old placid girl. I'm not used to visitors so will bark for awhile but I'm okay once I'm used to them.
I do have a few kilos to lose before my beach body is exposed and I'm hoping my new owner can take me for plenty of adventures to burn off my curvaceous waist. I had not been walked on a lead for a few years, however the carer who picked me up walked me for a block or so and I did famously. I saw a dog but didn't react then I saw another one and wanted to go the other way because it barked at me.
I am developing cataracts but who doesn't at my age? I am allergic to flea bites so a monthly flea tablet is needed to keep my sensitive skin at bay. I can be left alone for short period of time but as you can appreciate, I was with my human all the time so life is strange to me at present and I'll need time to adjust.
As you can see, I'm a bit like Marilyn Munroe so will need a groom soon, however I have never been to a groomer, however I have been shaved twice by my Vet. I tolerate a bath. I love belly rubs and will sit on your lap. I love to play with my toy and like to be chased as I will not bring it back to you. **I have a meet and greet on 6th July**
I travelled well in the car for an hour, had a break then travelled well again for another 20 minutes until I got to my carer at Wollongong. Thanks for taking the time to get to know me. Should you wish to meet me, please contact my carer and we can arrange a meeting. Mid-week would suit best as my carer works every 2nd weekend.
Chelsea has been in foster care since 28 June 2022, for 6 days

DSH - male - 6 months and 3 weeks
Poor Flash came into care after being found during a storm in an industrial site. He arrived extremely skinny and sopping wet. He was found after meowing at strangers for help and so he found his way into care and he's blossomed into a healthy young man, full of beans and ready for his forever home to come along.
Flash took about 24hrs to trust his foster family but he is the sort that will be a bit spooked by visitors. Once he gets to know you however his true, super friendly nature comes to the fore. He is an affectionate boy who is easy to handle but is generally more interested in playing than getting cuddles (although he will settle on your lap when it suits him so he's not always on the go). He isn't noisy unless he thinks his dinner is late and then he'll greet you with a little meow. He has a SUPER soft lovely tabby coat with spotted belly and he's quite the purrer when he's in a calmer mood.
Flash is a go-getter so not suitable for small apartment living and while he currently lives with primary school age kids and is absolutely fine, it's the adults he tends to bond with most.
Flash gets along really well with other cats and would probably enjoy another young cat to rumble with. He should be ok with dogs once he gets to know them too. He is a great all rounder and will make a wonderful addition to any family after a playful, sweet natured cat who is willing to allow him that initial period to settle into his new home.
Flash has been in foster care since 19 March 2022, for 3 months
