Coco - a true hero, she carried her whole litter one-by-one across a busy highway and plonked the kittens down in someones house. Virtual Parents - Dorrianne & Justus van der Berg in loving memory of Grace, rescued as an adult feral along with her litter, fondly remembered as a great Mommy cat which took 3 years to sit on her mom's lap. Also sponsored by her rescuer Kate Farrer
Miko - Rescue from a block of flats after she had numerous litters, Miko is the sweetest girl and loves nothing more that eating and having her back scratched.
Varys - a spunky young lad that loves to play, he was rescued along with his sister and brothers from a creek where they were dumped in a bin bag.
Batman was found hanging on a fence at a hospital, he is part of our semi-feral colony. He is slowly taming down and has turned out to be quite a clown.
Spartan was brought in with a severe eye injury, its suspected that he was shot in the eye. His owners could not be found.
KisKis is the sweetest little girl that you will ever meet, she is extremely affectionate and responds like a dog when called. She almost died at when she was 3 months old due to the fact that her previous owners insisted on feeding her a pure vegetarian diet. The owners eventually handed her over to SCS because they refused to feed her cat food, or any other meat. Virtual Mommy - Cheryl Whiteman.
Jake - rescued after being hit by two cars. Jake has permanent damage to his leg and back due to the accidents. He is both loving and grumpy at the same time - a real character and literally rules with an iron fist.
Alex is the sweetest little boy who loves to lay on top of you when you sleep - he was rescued from an Eco Park.
Andy got himself stuck in an industrial grinder, which broke his leg. Unfortunately the leg broke again a couple of months later, but has now healed fully.
Vinnie is the cutest boy, who will announce to the world when it is bed time. He is super sweet. We received him after he was knocked by two cars on the highway - and all that was lost was a piece of his tail.
Arielle is still trying to figure out if she wants to be tame or feral, so we are leaving it up to her to decide. Her tail is always held skew - a possible balance problem from young.
Kenzo - the little feral whose whole femur broke off from the hip socket after being hit by a car.
Thor - The biggest mischief maker of the whole sanctuary!
Eddie is Ragna's boyfriend and they can play and snuggle up for hours.
Finnigan was brought in with his mom, Zoya, and all his siblings. They all found loving homes except for him.
Zoya is probably one of the loudest cats we have who will scream at you to open the door for her. She was brought in with her kittens and later sterilised.
Spicy aka Spice Girl is a super sweet, gentle soul (although she can be a little stuck up because she is so beautiful). She will throw tantrums if she doesn't get her evening milk fix. Virtual Moms Lauren Frizelle and Tanja Wotroba-Viljoen
Tiggy is an awesome epileptic cat who loves nothing more than being stroked and loved - we have never heard a cat with so many different chirrps, meows and purrs in her vocabulary.
