Perils of an Australian summer

Silly Sage found an eastern brown snake INSIDE my house, killed it, and brought it to me first thing Monday morning 🥴

For the non-Australians, they're the second most venomous snake in the world, so she is very, very lucky not to have been bitten - my blood pressure is yet to come down

I rescued this beautiful girl this week 🖤

My partner works as a removalist and likes to bring home things from work, usually furniture his customers don't want or a six pack of beer as a tip. This week, it was this poor, neglected little cat. She'd never been inside before, didn't have a name, and would've been dumped to die had my partner not stepped in.

Her fur was so matted that it was tearing chunks from her skin, I couldn't find a groomer that was willing to take her so I spent 12 hours sitting on the floor with her, gently trimming the matted fur out of her coat. I salvaged her little mane and her curly belly fluff, and she has a beautiful smoke undercoat that I've left some length in to keep her warm.

We took her to my favourite vet early yesterday morning who says she's about 15 years old and is very healthy, given her circumstances. They even called this morning to check on her, and were very pleased with her progress.

She's keeping her food down and is quickly getting the hang of her litter tray, and is absolutely reveling in all the love we're giving her at the moment. We named her Raven 🖤

Two years ago today I rescued a kitten and her three tinier kittens. Pip has adapted well to life as an indoor cat, but she's never let anyone touch her without putting up a fight

Until today 🩷

My handsome Phantom 🖤

Rescued in February with life-threatening injuries, I adopted him three months ago and he's settled in so well. He has FIV and a heart murmur but he's currently a very healthy gummy shark!

He loves nothing more than sunning himself in his cat run on a nice day, snuggling with his fur-siblings, and yelling at me for treats the second I come home 🩷
