Would you like to help a rescued cat but are unable to care for one in your home?
Many of our cats require extended stays with their Little Paws Carer for various reasons such as age or health problems. You can assist the carers by sponsoring a cat for $20.00 a month. This amount will go towards the cat’s upkeep. This would include things like food, litter, vet care and medications. That’s less than 68 cents per day and the rewards for the cats are greater than you can imagine. YOU CAN HELP GIVE HOPE AND LOVE TO THOSE THAT TRULY DESERVE IT.
Once you become a cat sponsor, you will receive details of your cat and a sponsorship certificate. You will have the opportunity to visit your cat and even take it home one day if your circumstances change.
We currently have a very long list of cats and kittens that need sponsoring and We have listed below just a few of our current long term residents looking for sponsorship! You can also contact our co-ordinators at any time for more information or email littlepawskr@gmail.com.
Please Fill out our Sponsorship Form if you see a kitty you would like to sponsor!
CATS LOOKING FOR SPONSORSHIP
Megan – 9 week old female kitten (pictured above)
Little Megan was just 6 weeks old when she came into Little Paws, found by the side of the road, covered in fleas and badly anaemic. Some kind soul mistakenly decided to give her a Capstar tablet for the fleas, and the chemicals were too strong for her little body, and by the time she came into us she was very sick, so weak she couldnt even stand up, and it was touch and go for 48 hours as to whether she would make it or not. It took her over a week to start to get better, but she did with a lot of TLC. However, her carer knew there was something not quite right still with her back legs, and after 3 vet visits, and eventually x rays, we found out that she has an old break to her femur and her leg isnt sitting properly in the socket to her hip bones. She may have been hit by a car, kicked or thrown to the ground…who knows? She is too little to operate on yet, so she will stay in long term foster care until her expensive surgery can be carried out. If you would like to sponsor this poor little cat for $20 a month to help cover her vet costs, or would like to make a one off donation, please email littlepawskr@gmail.com
Monty 18 mth old Silver Spotted Tabby (Pictured below)
This is Monty and he is a long term Little Paws resident that is looking for sponsorship! Sponsorship is $20/month and goes towards Monty’s food, flea and worm treatements, and his general care. Monty came to little paws as a 3 month old kitten in a possum trapping cage. He had been trapped from a feral colony and was absolutely terrified! Monty is a very sweet and gentle cat but is still very scared of strangers! He has bonded with his foster mum and will happily let her pat him and do his flea and worming treatments. He is 18 months old now and happily living in foster carer but is unlikely to be available for adoption in the near future… if ever as he is just very very shy! We are looking for sponsorship for Monty.
Cell – 5yo Tortie female (Pictured Below)
Cell was surrendered to little paws at the age of 5 because her owner had gotten a younger kitten and didn’t want her anymore! Cell is in foster care and looking for a “forever” home but due to her age she will most likely be in foster care for quite some time and we are looking for a sponsor for her to help with some of her on-going costs. Cell is a great cat – friendly, easy going, and good with other animals. She would love an occasional visit from her sponsor for a pat!
Teeny – 9 month old female ragdoll x (pictured below)
Teeny was rescued in January 2011 from Logan Pound. She was only ten days old and had four other litter mates. Her mamma was a purebred ragdoll but was ever so thin. Teeny was the smallest, weighing only 95 grams and was half the size of her siblings. All bubs were very sick with cat flu and Teeny was so tiny, we though she wasn’t going to make it. She was bottle fed by her surrogate foster mamma due to her size and illness, she was just too sick to compete for food with her other litter mates. Teeny has now grown into a lovely healthy girl but due to her slight brain damage, she will live out her days with her Little Paws carer. If you’d like to help sponsor this gorgeous little girl, please contact Lynde on 07-5543-6453 or email watsonn1@bigpond.com.au.
Flossie – fluffy torty female (pictured below)
Flossie was found in a park in Brisbane by a kind lady walking her dog. She was being tormented by children, had tick paralysis and was pregnant. After months of special treatment and care, she blossomed. Her kittens were luckily born healthy, although Flossie suffers from Irritable Bowel Syndrome, and thus lives permanently with her carer. She requires a special diet and with this, she is able to live a happy healthy life. If you’d like more information about Flossie, contact Lynde on 07-5543-6453 or email watsonn1@bigpond.com.au.
Cleo – siamese female (pictured below)
Cleo was rescued from Logan Pound, very emaciated with a hernia and a cough, which got worse after the anaesthetic of her desexing operation. This developed into pneumonia and Feline Asthma. With lots of medication and nursing, Cleo is able to live a normal life, however she does experience severe flare-ups of asthma, so lives permanently with her carer. If you’d like to help with the financial cost of Cleo’s medication and care, please phone Lynde on 07-5543-6453 or email watsonn1@bigpond.com.au.
Lucinda – approx. 12-15 year old female blue and cream torty girl (pictured below)
Lucinda was dumped at the pound by her owners who no longer wanted her. This ancient girl is very independant and likes to sunbake in front of the window. Lucinda tolerates her foster cat and dog siblings but prefers her own space. We’re unsure if she has some old age senility issues so Lucinda will most likely stay with Little Paws unless someone very special comes along to take her on in her twilight years. If Lucinda steals your heart and you’d like to help her, please text Tennille on 0450 785 861 or email tennille.cat@gmail.com.
Queenie – 1 year old DMH (pictured below)
Queenie is a ginger domestic medium hair desexed female. Only approx. 12 months old and still a kitten herself. She was rescued out of Logan Pound with her bubs who have all found homes. Queenie was very sick with the flu and could not eat for 9 days. She had fluids and lots of medication along with small amounts of nutrient rich food force fed to keep her alive. It really was a terrible time for her and we didn’t think she would survive. Queenie is still suffering bouts of sneezing and isn’t available for adoption until she’s healthy. Please contact Lynde if you’re interested in sponsoring this pretty lil survivor. Lynde on 07-5543-6453 or email watsonn1@bigpond.com.au.
