  Partner had never had a cat and was hesitant when I proposed the idea. He said yes after a few weeks of thinking, and I immediately jumped on petrescue to look 😂

  I saw Mickey’s picture, he was 4 months, give or take a few weeks, and was (IS) gorgeous. I called the rescue group, had a little phone convo, and booked to come in to meet Mickey and see if he liked us.

  As soon as the animal attendant opened his enclosure door, he trotter out up to me. Put his front paws on my thighs and mewled. I melted. I picked him up and he was instantly purring and dribbling, making biscuits. Partner held him and the same thing. So we took him home that day 😂

  Pepper popped out from under a hire car at Melbourne Airport. She then ate a Turkey sandwich and a muffin and made her way home. Did all the due diligence because she had a collar on but given the location we’re pretty sure she was dumped. This is her in the truck on her way home.

  Toby!

  spoiler

  I met Toby at an animal shelter in Bendigo while dropping off a donation one day. Decided to cheer myself up and pat some dogs while I was there. There was 2 rows of kennels and all of the dogs were barking as I walked through. About three quarters of the way down, there was a kennel with a little white dog that was just sitting on the ground, no barking, no jumping. I decided to say hello to him and when I went into his kennel and sat on the ground, he immediately got into my lap and tilted his head back to look at me and I just fell in love. While I was sitting in there with him, the shelter photographer came by to take Toby’s promotional photos and I panicked and said not to because I was going to adopt him. Honestly don’t even know how I passed the adoption process, but I came back a week later to pick up my little man who became the absolute love of my life. Image

  Alfie!

  spoiler

  Alfie is Boyo’s cat. My best friend worked with a pet rescue and messaged him one day about 7 years ago and said “I’ve got a cat for you, his name is Alfie” and sent him a photo of a tiny little kitten. Boyo was unsure about the cat, unsure about to name, but met him and absolutely fell in love. Image

  I have no baby picks of the current two as they were adopted mostly grown. WhiteBoy I got as a tiny one from Lost Dogs. We went in to get a friend for another cat who was rather brain broken after being locked in the neighbours basement for much of a week. a mostly white kitten

  Here’s my old kitty Sheba. Met her at a very nice (and proper) breeders place in geelong. Place was absolute chaos w/ all those cats (all abys). As soon as I walked in one jumped on me from the top of a door lol. Sheba though was just sitting there all quiet. Nicest cat I’ve ever had, but she was fearless. Used to jump off the second story for fun. She also didn’t like silverside and would only drink water on the bench out of one specific cup.

  If i get another cat it’d be that breed.

  Randomly my landlord rocked up one day and goes, do you want a cat? Daughters friends cat had kittens.

  I thought about it for a couple of mins and was like, yeah sure why not.

  Went to kmart, filled a trolley with cat stuff. Went over to meet em all and Gibson just kinda waddled over.

  She fit in my hand pretty much but she was weaned, eating solid food and toilet trained.

  And so began the adventure lol

  Misha showed up randomly in our back yard after the neighbors moved out, moved into our yard then promptly got railed on the hood of our ol’ datsun. Which is where Cerys and Punkin came from. And others.

  So I got ALLL the baby pics.

  I was pet sitting for a neighbour while he was in hospital, and helped care for them after he got out. Because he was terminal he began rehoming the pets to ensure they would be looked after when he went. I adopted the senior kitty - Melbcat.

  I was shown her baby pics briefly in a photo album but unfortunately don’t have them. I’m not sure what happened to that

  My kid wanted a dog. I tried to convince her that there were other pets out there like fish, stick insects and silkies but apparently you can’t cuddle them so they’re not worthy.

  So the man and kid went to the RSPCA where little dog was located. The man thought “he looks more robust than the chihuahua that we had previously looked at. Atleast she won’t kill him on his first night home”.

  He has not forgotten the “wheelie bin incident”.

    Good choice. Sounds like she’s the CEO of your house.

    The number of times I tripped over the cat or accidentally yeeted her down the hallway when she walked in front of me, makes me think a small dog wouldn’t survive in our house

      Same. Then acts like I’m a monster.

      Then I have to apologise and bribe her with treats lol
