Meet Dekka,

Bold, bright, and full of character. Dekka is always the first to explore a new corner or come say hello, and she thrives on interaction and playtime. Feather toys? She's obsessed. Wand toys? Count her in. Dekka enjoys being scooped up for a cuddle just as much as she loves an energetic romp. She’s laid-back, sweet-natured, and wonderfully expressive — a kitten who wears her heart on her paw and is always ready for whatever the day brings.

Dekka would be suitable for most homes. She would make a great mate for kids and is open to meet children of any age!

Just like all kittens, Dekka would love a cat tree to climb on and scratch, and an assortment of toys to play with. She should be fed kitten food multiple times a day to ensure that she grows up big and strong. Dekka is already litter trained, but it’s best to show her where the litter tray is when you get home to minimise any accidents.

If you’ve got other animals at home, that’s okay, just make sure that they have a slow & controlled introduction.

Recovered Cat Flu: Historically cat flu has had a negative reputation and can often deter people from adopting; but you wouldn’t actually be able to tell a recovered cat flu cat from a non-cat flu cat. The truth is that many cat flu cats will live happy, healthy, long lives in their new home. So, what is it? Cat flu is caused by a virus. Humans can’t catch it, but other cats can; but only if the cat is showing flu symptoms. Stressful situations like desexing, or a dramatic change in environment can lead to a recovered cat experiencing cat flu again, but this is usually short lived and rarely requires medical intervention. Most cats will recover on their own providing their vaccines are up to date.

Post Adoption Life: With all animals it’s important to understand that going into a new environment with new people may not be as seamless as we want it to be. It’s important to know that these animals have unknown histories - most are left in the shelter by their owners. The information we have is from observing the animal’s behaviours & reactions to certain stimuli whilst in our care. Adopted animals can take up to 3 months to properly decompress from post-shelter life & a lot of behaviours & quirks may surface during this time. All that we ask is that their new owners have an open mind & are patient.
