[Adopt] Tiny Tim, the Black Panther

If you are looking for a feline hero, Tiny Tim is the one you are looking for.

Dressed in black fur from head to toe, he has the spirit and confidence of the Marvel Comics character. He is an active and boisterous 5 month old kitten. He can often be found play-fighting with other cats and enjoys being the little alpha cat of his foster household.

Tiny Tim was first found at a school car park located along Turf Club Road when he was about three to four weeks old. He was found with conjunctivitis, but recovered under the diligent care of his foster parent.

Tiny Tim was so named because he was small in size and a little shy at the beginning, and he fell sick a couple more times along the way, suffering from diarrhea, then flu, and possible feline herpes.

Feline herpes, also known as FVR, is non-contagious to humans and dogs; however it is contagious to other cats. It is easily managed with a nutritious diet and a stress-free environment, and Tim will still live his life to the best of his potential.

Despite some setbacks on his health, Tiny Tim is a warrior and fighter. He still is energetic and loves feather wands and toys that make sounds. Not only is he fun to be with, he is also an easy-going cat. Tiny Tim does not make a fuss about bath time and will follow you around the house, always ready for a new game. He is friendly with children, and will be a great playmate for families with kids as he loves to play as much as he loves being snuggled and carried around.

 

If you think Tiny Tim is the addition to your household you have been looking for, you’re in luck. Tiny Tim is up for adoption! He has been fully dewormed and vaccinated. Please read the info on the adoption page carefully and answer the adoption questionnaire. Any questions can be sent to Diana at adopt@lovekuchingproject.org.

[Adopt] Keira and Kafka, the Wonder Twins

Looking for the purr-fect pair of playful twins to liven up your home? Look no further than here, because Keira and Kafka are in town!

Keira and Kafka were rescued from Sungei Kadut, after their mother was killed by a stray dog. When they first came, they were quiet and a little shy, but it didn’t take long for them to realize that the cattery was theirs for the taking! Keira and Kafka soon began staking their claim, running around and climbing cages, batting the tails of other cats for fun, stealing food--and our hearts--along the way!

Peekaboo! It's me, Keira!

Keira is the leader of the two, often putting Kafka in his place during fights, pinning him down and swatting him on the head. She’s fiery and talkative, and loves meowing to let people know to pay attention to her and give her cuddles… before she gets distracted by a toy and runs off again.

Kafka looking ready to pounce!

Kafka, while every bit as playful and eager as his sister, has a mellower side to him, often being the first to doze off after a playing session. He’s also the bigger eater of the two, often sneaking bites from other cats’ food bowls, and sometimes even climbing onto the counter to “help” with food prep!

This dynamic duo always liven up the cattery with their boundless energy. They know how to keep themselves busy, and are content with even the simplest of toys. They’re also curious and mischievous, always being the first to poke their nose into something new!

Keira and Kafka would do well in a house with other pets, or a house that’s all to themselves! They’ve been seen playing with our other kitten admission, Tiny Tim, and are quick to get used to the presence of other cats.

Kafka and Tim having a battle! Raar!

Besides being high energy, both Keira and Kafka also love being snuggled, and are happy to be picked up! Kafka in particular, loves sitting on shoulders and surveying his kingdom. Both kittens are free-spirits with wild souls, so if you’re looking for a devilishly adorable set of twin terrors, Keira and Kafka could be the pair for you!

Resting after a hard day of playing.

[Adopt] Russ, the Tuxedo Kitten

Are you looking for the best cat son who gets along with bigger cats and will forever love you? Meet Russ.

Russ is a Tuxedo kitten with white patches on all four paws that resemble little finger gloves, and a heart bigger than his tiny body.



He was found abandoned in a box outside of a condominium when he was a month old, and not in great shape: he was heavily constipated, and as a result of rough living, he was full of worms. Thanks to his foster parents, Russ is now doing much better.



Friendly with bigger cats, Russ has been known to snuggle with bigger, fluffier cats and use them as his pillow while they look at him fondly (or resignedly). He also loves to jump on other adult cats and engage in play with them, usually trying to play with their tails. However, he’s also able to entertain himself, spending long periods of time wrestling with his favourite kitty toy.



He is a very affectionate cat and needs many cuddles. When he wants to he will seek out his foster parents for a nap, climbing onto their shoulders and kneading their necks before he falls asleep. The tiny claws hurt but hey, who can complain about a neck massage?

He’s tiny in size, but big on climbing, napping and being carried around like a small child. He already has a fan club amongst our volunteers and made his debut as a cat model to rave reviews at our most recent event A Valentine’s Fairytail @ CHIJMES, where he, alongside his kitty comrades helped raise money for the Love Kuching Project. He’s also proven to be very good as a therapy cat, and is patient with people of all ages.



If you think Russ is the cat son you have been looking all your life, you’re in luck. Russ is up for adoption! He has been fully dewormed and vaccinated. Please read the info on the adoption page carefully and answer the adoption questionnaire. Any questions can be sent to Diana at adopt@lovekuchingproject.org.

[Adopt] Seven kittens in search of forever homes

If you don't adopt these kittens, they'll become Echo's posse and together they will be unstoppable.

[The info on Wobbles has been updated as of 3 February. The other kittens in this post have been adopted.]

It’s that time of the season when we have kittens coming out of our ears and they’re all looking for good forever homes! Right now we are fostering twelve fourteen kittens in total and four are looking for homes.

Wobbles came first. She was rescued from a drain in Sims Drive in early October. She was extremely wobbly and hid in her litter box a lot. Her shakiness was probably due to an infection she contracted after her early kittenhood, and she was treated with strong antibiotics, which helped her condition a lot. Despite this, she had no problem with cuddles, and purred when you pet her. When let out of the cage initially, she preferred hiding in corners and under the cages. Slowly she started playing on her own with a mousey on the cat tree and a ball on a track, and we incorporated playtime into her rehabilitation to help her gain muscle tone. The arrival of the Star Wars kittens brought out more of the play in her and she started playing and chasing them out in the open. She grew to love the cat tree and looked up to the former boss cat like Echo is her leader. 

In mid-December, Wobbles had a relapse and almost didn't make it. She was hospitalised first at our regular vet clinic The Animal Clinic (Katong) and later at Mt Pleasant. After strong antibiotics and some liver medication, she turned around and started to stand up. She has since been fostered by three different volunteers and has rehabilitated well. She was too weak to stand at first but with care and physiotherapy she regained the muscle strength she lost when she relapsed, but now walks around with a crooked but determined gait.

At 6 months old, Wobbles has grown into a confident but sweet-tempered little lady with a cute round muzzle and expressive, gold-green eyes. She is playful, and loves head and butt rubs. She still wobbles somewhat and is not always graceful; she'll tumble occasionally when she jumps about but will get right back up. Home fostering has also brought out the extreme cuddlebug in her! She is happily a lap cat and will sleep in your arms or the crook of your neck. She will also tolerate belly rubs when she is in the mood. Her food-motivatedness is useful for encouraging her to use her muscles. 

Since her relapse, Wobbles has had small spasms suggesting that her neuro issues will remain over the course of her life. The last relapse may also have damaged her hearing, and her fosterer noticed that she has had some mood swings possibly related to her spasms. She may always be a little wobbly, but that’s what makes her special. As long as she does not climb to a high place without a route down, she’ll be okay. She gets along fine with other cats and humans, including children, and will do fine in either a solo or multi-cat household, and has gotten along well with adult female cats especially.

Wobbles is looking for someone who will understand that she is a special needs cat. Her neuro issues may continue to affect her both in daily life and in sickness. She may need extra medical attention if her condition changes, although at present it only affects the stability of her walking and possibly her moods. Getting adopted is essential to her quality of life: she has adapted well to life in a home and it is too risky for her to return to a shelter full of sick cats as vets have not isolated the factors (if any) that trigger relapses. Wobbles has been fighting hard to live since she was a small kitten, and her life expectancy may well be shorter than normal cats, but a forever home would ensure that she lives a good and happy life. 

[Adopted] The next kitten to arrive was Dot. Dot was found at a busy traffic junction with no mother in sight. She was in good health when found, albeit a little hungry. She was fostered by a Foster Care volunteer and developed a good appetite, which persists now: she purrs when she thinks she will get food!

Dot is a feisty little kitten who likes to think she's the boss. She's very playful and quick, especially if there is food around. She has a very cute little meow that she uses liberally, and at times very loudly. She loves to climb, and will climb everything from pants legs to cat trees to furniture. Once she's tired herself out she will settle down for a purry cuddle with you and loves the occasional tummy rub. 

This elegant black kitty with a tiny tuft of white on her chest has always taken well to humans and interacts well with her host cat, sometimes purring when she sees him. She fares less well with the kittens at the shelter as she is not used to their energy, but as she already has experience in a multi-cat household she will likely be fine with other cats.

  

[Adopted] Soon after, we received Pi and Po, two jet-black kittens who were rescued from a carpark in Pasir Panjang. The sister Pi has a longer tail and whiskers while her brother Po has a shorter tail and whiskers. They were fostered by an Outreach volunteer and had a therapy cat for a foster sister because we like to start socialising the kitties for greatness when they are young. They took turns getting sick because their tiny kitten immune systems were weak without their mother’s milk, but they soon recovered with some medical attention.

Apparently it's #BlackCatDay somewhere in the world... Well, any day is a good day to feature our two lovely rescue kittens, Pi and Po. After Po got better, Pi got the bug, but now both are fine and have resumed their monkeying around. Here they are with their foster sister in a rare peaceful moment as they bask in the sun. These two may have the rambunctiousness of kittens, but they cuddle like genuine cuddlebugs. They like to be cuddled by humans to sleep, and in the absence of humans, they cuddle each other. 😻 #rescue #rehab #foster #volunteer #adoptdontshop #kittens #kittensofinstagram #donate

Recently they’ve come to the cattery. They were wary of the other kittens when they first got to the cattery, but warmed up quickly due to their gregarious personalities. Po especially seems to get along well with kittens whereas Pi prefers older cats. Due to their sociability, they would thrive in multi-cat households. Both love to wrestle with each other and the older cats around them.

These two look like they will grow into the perfect companions, draped over an inviting lap or amusing the humans at the other end of the cat toy. They sure know how to deploy their green eyes to good effect!

Even though they are active kittens, they also crave human attention, and will seek it out by following humans around. They can be held and they will purr if you pick them up as they’re getting sleepy. They cuddle each other to sleep too, and it will melt your heart.

[Adopted] Then came the Star Wars kittens, Kylo, Kenobi and Leia. They were rescued from the Kembangan area where one of the ginger brothers was stuck on a roof! Rescuers got him down and fostered all of them before turning them over to wreak havoc on our cattery. 

Kylo is the ringleader with a corkscrew tail. 

Kenobi is the second-in-command rabble-rouser with a kinky tail. 

Leia is the grey tabby who does love to play (since she’s a kitten) but also is more independent and dare we say, calmer.

All three are intrepid explorers and climb all over the place, meowing loudly for food and chasing each other around. The ginger boys will growl when eating and playing, and are also quite food aggressive. Leia's slightly quieter than her brothers, although she has a certain fascination with the broom. When they’ve finally had enough playtime, they become cuddly, seeking out humans to sit near them. Head and chin rubs will turn on their near-constant purr motor. All three can be picked up for cuddles and will fall asleep in your arms.

Kylo likes to perch on shoulders

The Star Wars trio are curious about adult cats like Ah Niu and Echo, and have even warmed the cockles of Echo’s heart enough to warrant some grooming. They would do well in multi-cat households where they can interact and play with other cats. Single-cat owners would need to ensure adequate playtime.

Po chills out with the ginger brothers Kylo (L) and Kenobi (R)

By now, all the kittens are fed wet food (Addiction brushtail with supplements) twice a day and given dry food (Taste of the Wild kibble) to graze on. They have been dewormed, vaccinated, litter-trained, and socialised. Now it’s time for them to go from the cattery to their forever homes!

Cats are a lifetime commitment, but kittens especially need adequate attention and playtime each day! 

If you'd like to adopt any of the kittens, please read info on the adoption page carefully. Send your responses to the questionnaire and indicate which kitten/s you are interested in visiting to Diana at adopt@lovekuchingproject.org. She will screen your responses and contact you for a visit if you are suitable.
