Tosca update emergency funding

Tosca's Op Shop visit this weekend sparked joy all around! Her remarkable progress includes a healthy 620-gram weight gain, and she's even graduated to a larger cone. The best news? Her tail may be saved, contrary to earlier concerns. Throughout her checkup, our brave girl purred contentedly, showcasing her sweet nature. Heartfelt thanks to Selwood House Vet Hospital's outstanding care.

Tosca Update emergency funding appeal

Saturday's vet check brought positive news for our little warrior! Though still underweight, Tosca's healing is right on track. Her gentle spirit shines through despite her ordeal, and she's particularly fond of her special baked chicken meals. In about 10 days, we hope to bid farewell to both stitches and cone, marking another milestone in her recovery journey.

Tosca Update emergency funding appeal

Exciting news! Tosca became our first passenger in the new Catmobile today, heading to her foster home with Christine. Her recovery is progressing well at Selwood House, with a scheduled vet visit on Saturday to remove her drain. Special thanks to the compassionate rescuer who brought this sweet girl to safety - your kindness has given Tosca a second chance at life.

1 April 2025

A heartbreaking discovery turned hopeful when a compassionate local resident found a young calico kitten in desperate need of help. The approximately 4-month-old kitten, whom we've named Tosca, was found in a park with a serious chest wound.

Thanks to quick action, Tosca was immediately taken to the Pet Health Hub at Lawson, who contacted our rescue group. She received expert care at Selwood House Vet Hospital and was scheduled for urgent surgery.

We're overjoyed to report that Tosca has come through her surgery with flying colors! Despite having a chest drain that will need to remain in place for the next week and facing additional surgeries, our brave little fighter is already sitting up, purring, and seeking affection from the hospital staff. Even through her ordeal, Tosca's sweet nature continues to shine through - a testament to her resilient spirit.

The outpouring of support from our community has been truly overwhelming. Your generous donations, kind words, and shared posts have made a real difference in Tosca's journey to recovery. We extend our heartfelt thanks to everyone who has contributed to her care, and special gratitude to the exceptional team at Selwood House Vet Hospital.

While Tosca still has a journey ahead, she is, in many ways, a very lucky kitten. We will continue to keep you updated on her progress.

Become a Foster Carer

  • Do you love cats? 
  • Do you wish that they could have the best possible lives and homes? 
  • Do you have space in your home and heart to take in cats who need care until they find loving families to adopt them?

Some things to think about:

  • Is your home secure? Foster cats must remain indoors, with no access to the outside.
  • Will your family, including the fur family, accept having foster cats who may come and go?
  • Do you have the time and patience to care for cats in need?
