Before introducing this week’s pet of the week, the RSPCA Victoria is urging pet owners to get their pets desexed during National Desexing Month, July, with Operation Wanted.
This is to prevent blowing out household budgets, having to look after unexpected fur babies, unplanned litters from overrunning shelters and the Campaspe Animal Shelter having to find homes for kittens like DJ Mittens.
The Victorian Government’s Pet Census showed Victorian households spend $3664 a year on average on a dog and $2134 a year on a cat.
Operation Wanted is offering 20 per cent off cat and dog desexing to pet owners who register at operationwanted.com.au before August 31.
Now let’s meet DJ Mittens, a domestic short-haired male desexed six-month-old kitten.
An enchanting cat, he will win you over with a charming yet reserved demeanour.
DJ Mittens may be a bit timid and unsure of new surroundings, but has an enduring, playful side waiting to burst out when he feels safe and loved.
DJ Mittens enjoys the company of other kittens and would relish being part of a multi-cat family where he can interact and play with others his age.
His playful antics will have you smiling in no time, adding a dash of fun and liveliness to your home.
DJ Mittens has previously had cat flu. Although this condition usually resolves without complications, in some instances, the cat may remain a carrier of this disease and it may recur.
Adopt DJ Mittens and give him a loving and fur-ever home.
His animal ID is 12844, Microchip 991001006231858, PER BR101840.
