SAVA - Saving Avon Valley Animals

SAVA - Saving Avon Valley Animals SAVAs mission is to prevent unnecessary death and suffering of companion animals. Our intake is from pounds and members of the public.

Once in our care, animals receive the basics of sterilisation, microchipping, vaccination and flea/worm treatment. They also receive any other required vet care. Funds are raised through adoption fees and donations so we rely on the generosity of the public to keep doing this life saving (volunteer) work. We truly appreciate your support! You can donate to the cause via PayID to our email [email protected]
and through Containers for Change using the code C11517197

What a week!! 🤪😅🤯😵‍💫🫨🥰🥰🥰

I am so excited to share that the past week (and a bit) has seen SO many animals adopted into loving homes!
This includes some significant long term feline residents finding families after more than 6 months in care.

The gratitude we have for the adopters who have opened their hearts 💕 and homes 🏠 to these animals is hard to describe.
Thank you, thank you, thank you 🙏
We've had some incredible transport volunteers step in to make these adoptions possible, not to mention the foster carers who have done so very much.

Cats adopted and in new homes:
Kyan and Prancer (both FIV positive)
Eclipse
Mo and Nico
Loretta-Lyn and Jolene
Shay
Foreman
Tangelo
Lilly
Schnitzel
Charlee, Bluebell, Veevee

Cats adopted and being collected this coming week:
Professor Fuzz
Darren
Henny Penny

Puppies adopted:
Kya
Tashiki
Nojiko
Zoro
Luffy
Kody

Dog adoption:
Otis (!!!)

So much goes into the process of rescuing an animal, caring for them, accessing vet care, photographing, advertising, assessing applications, facilitating meets and processing adoptions.

With so many happy endings this week, I've been even busier than usual! Social media engagement has suffered as a result of this combined with various personal life factors - I apologise and we will return to our regular posting over the coming days.
If you've been trying to get hold of me and haven't heard back - thank you for your patience! I'm doing my best ☺️

Thank you again to everyone who is part of the community that makes these outcomes a reality even for the most challenging of cases.
Adopters, foster carers, transport volunteers, the staff at our amazing partner vet clinics, donors, supporters and everyone who shares our posts. 💜💜💜 You are all amazing!

We still have lots of gorgeous cats in care of course (many new arrivals are coming in all the time) and there are still a small number of Rosie's pups available.

So if YOU would like to be part of one of these incredible happily ever after stories, please reach out.

😻🐶

Professor Fuzz!
AVAILABLE NOW 😍

This big boy is just purr-fection.
How he hasn't been adopted yet is absolutely beyond me but maybe he's been waiting especially for YOU!

Fuzz is such a character and a gentleman. He's extremely confident, outgoing and social and will enthusiastically greet anyone new that he meets.

His motto is definitely that a stranger is just a friend he hasn't met yet. 💜

And maybe also that a stranger *might* bring snacks... preferably these Temptation brand treats, which he helped himself to and proceeded to rip open the bag when I was too slow 😅

Professor Fuzz has glorious soft fur that is a delight to touch.

He's a polite fellow who is litter trained and likes to sleep in his cosy bed.
He eats Fussy Cat brand grain free food as other brands don't agree with his belly 💩

Fuzz has really been working on his socialisation over his many months in care and he's now shown that he is quite friendly with dogs as long as they can respect his space.
So, he can potentially live with a friendly and respectful canine 🐕

AND in an exciting development, it has been adorable to watch him re-discover his very playful side as he runs around with some kittens 😻
Fuzz is a big, bossy, domineering boy so he's not a good choice to try and introduce to a home with an existing cat BUT he genuinely likes to run and play with kitten friends so he could potentially either be adopted with a kitten he already knows, or if you want to add a kitten in the future that is an option

Or, of course he can be your one and only feline friend and companion. 💜

Professor Fuzz really is big in every way, both physically and in personality.
He's such a great cat and will make a wonderful addition.

He's been waiting nearly 6 months to find his home - PLEASE keep sharing and message the page or email [email protected] to enquire

AVAILABLE NOW
🤵🕺 Stunning Shay🕺🤵❤️

Dressed in his tux, ready for a very special occasion - meeting his new family! Could it be you that gorgeous 18 month old Shay is waiting for?

This incredibly fluffy fellow is just a delight.
He has recently come into care after turning up at a property seemingly out of nowhere. Shay was caught in a trap and was terrified and skittish when he arrived; he is still a shy guy but his super smoochy side has started to show through and he has found his voice!

Shay loves a chat, he mostly likes to remind me when it's time for breakfast though he's pretty polite about it really 😊

A slow and gentle approach is essential with Shay; he's head-shy and startles easily but recovers quickly and he truly does looove pats down his back and at the base of his tail especially.

Once he gets going, he spins around and around trying to get maximum pat coverage over his body 😍
It's adorable!
He does sometimes become a little overstimulated and gives little love bites, though this is primarily when he's anticipating being fed.

He's best suited to a home with a gentle family who can respect him and his space, showing him the kindness and patience he needs and deserves.

Shay appears unfazed by dogs and other cats 🐈 🐕💚 so with appropriate introductions he can live with furry friends.

An indoor only home will suit Shay best. He's clean and litter trained and loves his food.
At the moment he's a little unsure about being brushed but getting him used to grooming will benefit his glorious coat as he matures.

At just $50 to adopt, he's a bargain for a lifetime of love and floofy cuddles.
Desexed, microchipped, vaccinated and tested negative to FIV/Felv.
Located in Northam but can be transported to Perth for adoption!

*Shay has mild cat flu at the moment and is a little snuffly. He's still bright and happy and not currently requiring medication.
He needs a warm cosy new home now more than ever!
If he requires any treatment, SAVA will cover any associated vet costs

A heartfelt thank you 💜❤️💜

2 weeks ago, I shared the stories of some tragic cases of cats in care who sadly never made it to adoption, their lives cut short by illnesses without treatment.

Their care, diagnoses, treatment and ultimately their euthanasia, did not come cheap.

SO many of you donated funds to contribute to these costs.
We raised well over the $1800 needed for those boys specifically; in fact, thanks to your incredible generosity we raised almost enough to clear our pre-existing vet bills completely! 🥰

Explaining how grateful we are - how thankful the animals in our care are - is not easily done.
Words cant readily say the amount of thanks that I want to share.

But, thank you thank you thank you!!!!
From the bottom of many hearts - thank you.

Your donations go directly towards paying vets, like our incredible affiliated clinics Forrestdale Vet Hospital and Swan Vet (huge thanks to both of them too).
A small percentage of donations also buy speciality food for animals with particular diet needs - including Rosie's puppies!

With vet bills that are often $10,000 or more each month, donations are something we need on an ongoing basis.
If you're in a position to set up a regular monthly donation, we would love that too.

It sounds like a cliche but it's true - all amounts add up!
Chipping in just a few dollars makes you part of something life changing.

Have a wonderful weekend everyone ❤️🌈

AVAILABLE NOW
❤️🖤Beautiful Macky aka Blackie! 🖤❤️

This absolute stunner was first advertised back in February.

He was lucky enough to find an amazing home BUT after many weeks and a lot of work, sadly he just could not happily integrate with the existing kitties in the home so now he's back up for adoption - though he's looking to be the only cat, the king of your castle 👑

He's now known as Macky and his diet has evolved a bit SO he is no longer requiring a raw food only diet and can happily enjoy a variety of foods!

Everything else still stands.
He's a total s***k and an absolute mega-smooch.
His coat is so soft and delightful.
He's so handsome.

Please consider offering Macky a magnificent home!

Who loves a black cat? 🐈‍⬛
Whether you call them house panthers, or voids or no fancy name at all - there's no denying that sleek black cats are just stunning.

Blackie may lack creativity in his name but anything at all that he lacks there, he makes up for in purr-sonality!

This chunky young man is an absolute smooch-a-holic who has SO much love to give and cannot wait for a new family to receive it - could that be you?!

Blackie has been in care for 4 months now and the transformation he has unregistered in that time has been such a pleasure to witness - though it was hard fought!

He came into care in terrible condition - extremely underweight, infested with fleas and worms and suffering from cat flu and ringworm with patches of hair missing everywhere and his bones sticking out.

Blackie was terrified and though he didn't lash out, he definitely didn't want to be handled so examining and treating him was tricky.
It seemed like everything he ate gave him diarrhoea, so his appetite was up and down and giving him medicine in his food was not really viable.

He finally started to make improvements and has been thriving on a raw meat diet so his new family will need to continue this.

He has gained weight, fully resolved his flu symptoms and ringworm - though his coat is still a little patchy, he's absolutely thriving.

As he has gained his health, Blackie has also gained his smoocher status!
He gives head butts that are absolutely next level and just loves to be stroked and patted all over his body.

Now, he may be super friendly but Blackie was a street cat who has never had a home or family of his own 💔
So, his new family are going to be absolutely changing the world for this beautiful boy by offering him a fresh start!

He is a bit nervous of new people and will likely be pretty shy at first in a brand new place - but we'll give you all the information and support you need to help him settle in and thrive!
With a bit of time, kindness and TLC he's going to be incredible!!

To my surprise, Blackie tested negative to FIV. Yay! 😁

He's also comfortable around social and easy going dogs. 🐕

Blackie is now desexed, microchipped and vaccinated.
He's available to adopt now for just $50.

💜💚 Lovable Lester the smoochiest stress-head you ever shall find! 😅

Oh Lester!
This gorgeous boy is just so friendly - he loves people and pats and affection, he's good with kids, he's a real people cat. 🐈💜🥰

Lester is SO keen to find a home with lots of love and stability.

Let me tell you Lester's story!
He came into care via the rangers, having been handed in and spending time in the pound because he family simply up and moved away, leaving him to fend for himself.

This is a sadly common story; some cats cope better with this experience than others. For Lester, this abandonment and turmoil deeply impacted him.
He's a tender hearted ❤️ boy who really feels everything in his very soul.

After coming into care, he was anxious and distressed, struggling to cope with the new environment.
He experienced vomiting and diarrhoea and lost a frightening amount of weight - he's a big cat, long and lanky and was already slender.
To make sure there was nothing else going on, Lester has been thoroughly examined and had blood tests etc - all of which came back clear, showing no FIV, no organ problems, no infections.
His diagnosis was stress and a broken heart 💔

We've been working hard to try and help Lester feel more comfortable and safe.
Thankfully, he's gaining weight and has had no further gastro distress.

But he's still absolutely desperate for a home of his own.

Lester is friendly with dogs 🐕
He is a bit hit and miss with other cats, so is probably best suited to being your only feline friend.

He truly adores people and will make a devoted and loving companion for anyone who can offer him consistency and kindness.

Lester is available to adopt for $50.
He's been desexed, microchipped and vaccinated ready to go.

Owner-assisted adoption

Beautiful Sammie is a gorgeous 2.5yr old girl with a lovely nature and good looks to boot 😍.

This girl, believed to have Siamese heritage, has been a much loved family member but unfortunately she is just not compatible with the other cats in her home so she's looking for a family where she will be the one and only feline queen 👑

Sammie is described as an affectionate and loving snuggle bug 💜

She has grown up with two dogs and she adores them so with appropriate introductions, she should be able to live with dogs no worries - just no other cats please!

Sammie likes human company and connection so once she gets to know you, she will be a loyal and loving friend.
She has always lived indoors with access to a secure cat run which she loves so this would be her ideal set up in a new home too.

She is desexed, microchipped and up to date with vaccinations.
Sammie is located NOR in Perth metro area and is available to adopt for $50.
