my origin:

hand-rear

about me...

I was all alone in my litter, but was hand-reared with lots of love. When I was tiny, I used to snuggle up to a teddy bear. And now I am twice the size of that bear. I am known for my 'manly roar'-- my meow is just a tiny squeak!

birthday:

what i look like:

long haired
grey

my nicknames:

my origin:

adopted (kitten)

about me...

I was up for adoption with my littermates. Grey cats were in high demand, and I was also a very fluffy kitten. Due to being such a 'high demand' cat, I was kept in a separate room of the house for my entire kittenhood. To this day, I struggle with socialisation and am a very nervous kitty.

what i look like:

short haired
brown tabby

my nicknames:

my origin:

adopted (adult)

about me...

I was being given away because my owner said that I was a mean cat who did not get along well with the kids. These days I can be found sharing affection with everyone and everything. The slightest hint of happiness has me purring up a storm and drooling everywhere. I get so happy that I can't help it.

long haired
white and ginger
giant

my nicknames:

my origin:

failed foster

about me...

When I was younger, I was given away because I was said to be too aggressive. Not true! And the proof: I was supposed to just be a foster cat, but I was so friendly and sweet that I never left. Now that I am older, I am a little grumpier, but I take defending my family very seriously.

Badger

birthday:

14/09/15

what i look like:

long haired
black and white

my nicknames:

my origin:

hand-rear

about me...

Me and my three siblings were the first to be hand-reared! We were found just a day old, abandoned in a bush near the road. Someone found us and gave us to the vets. He asked if we could be reared until we were old enough to be ready to adopt... and then be given back to him! Of course, the vets did not want that to happen. They told him "sure, you can have them back" and then they never saw him again.

My siblings were all found homes but for some reason everyone had taken a liking to me. I stayed!

In 2017, I became lost for two weeks. I was (presumed) locked inside a garden shed for this time, surviving on nothing but rainwater and bugs. When I escaped and made it home in the middle of the night, I was a changed cat. Ever since, I have struggled with PTSD and became very clingy. I do not like seeing closed doors or being alone. Most days you will find me following around my favourite human for comfort.

Bramble

birthday:

05/06/21

what i look like:

medium haired
brown tabby
three legs

my nicknames:

my origin:

failed foster (developed medical problems)

about me...

I was just a kitten when I was fostered! But it took a while for me to be ready to be adopted because I had continuous problems with adjusting to my new diet... I had trouble with my digestive system. But then, when I was finally well enough, I started limping! My adoption was put on hold again until my leg was all healed up. But it wasn't healing...

I had to get checked at the vets, and they found out that my femur was growing sideways!! I was considered to have a super big surgery that would correct the bend, as well as put my kneecap back in place (it had slipped away from all of the limping). But, ultimately, it was decided that it would be better for me to have my leg amputated. The surgery recovery would have me in a cage for a long, long time, and I love to run around too much! Meanwhile, healing from the amputation would be much easier for me. I was also still very young, which would make it easier for me to adjust to only having three legs.

These days, I can be spotted sprinting at incredible speeds, faster than I ever did with four legs. Nothing stops me!

hand-rear, failed to be adopted

about me...

Me and my sister Inky were hand-reared! But when it came time for us to be adopted, nobody wanted us. We had to go together because we are best friends, which stopped some potential adopters who wanted just wanted to take me! A long time passed and still no one wanted us, so we stayed.

Lando

birthday:

what i look like:

long haired
Ragdoll

my nicknames:

my origin:

hand-rear

about me...

I was found with my two siblings in a dump after a cat breeder raided by the RSPCA tried to get rid of the evidence. We were all very malnourished and struggling to survive. Unfortunately, both of my littermates passed away. I continued to struggle to survive, but thankfully managed to make it! Some people wanted to adopt me, just because of my fancy coat, but I stayed where I was because I had gone through so much to survive kittenhood.
