Kitten Club Program

Our Kitten Club is built around one core belief: Care Before Homes. We ensure every kitten gets essential vet care before finding a new home—giving them the healthiest, safest start to life.

Like Miss Possum pictured –  we don’t forget Mum.  Possum was one of our first Mums who stayed with us in care as she nursed her kittens before going home to her family.

We love to celebrate last litters with free desexing, ensuring she’s not left to repeat the cycle – she matters so much!  And if Dad’s around, he’s included!

What does “Care Before Homes” look like?

• Foster Care – Kittens are placed with a foster carer in our kitten nursery or through Geelong Animal Rescue – GAR, where they’re nurtured, socialised, and learn the rhythms of indoor life, often alongside other pets.
• Desexing – Performed as soon as they’re big enough. Kittens can breed from 4 months old—this stops the cycle before it starts.
• Microchipping – A lifelong ID and their voice if they’re ever lost or surrendered.
• Parasite Treatment – Fleas and worms can overwhelm tiny bodies and even be fatal.
• Vaccinations – Protection from dangerous viruses they’re unlikely to survive without intervention.
• Adoption – Applications help match kittens with loving homes. Foster carers know their personalities best, helping ensure a perfect fit—and often staying in touch with happy updates.

If your cat is nursing or expecting kittens, we can support both Mum and bubs during this time. Ask us about respite and transitional care.

• Pregnancy and nursing deplete her body—she needs high-calorie kitten food
