ARK animal of the week

Ashling, one half of the bonded domestic long-hair calico cats.

Southern Downs ARK has a number of dogs and cats up for adoption.

This week we’re highlighting ASHLING and MAEVE.

Ages: 11 months

Adoption fee: $550 for both

Ashling and Maeve are a bonded pair of very attractive, long-haired calicos, born around March 2021.

Ashling’s foster mum gave her that name, which means ‘dream or vision’, because she’s a very pretty little girl.

She has gorgeous symmetrical markings on her face and her soft and silky coat is fluffier than the photos suggest.

A little unsure until she gets to know you, Ashling enjoys a pat once you’ve earned her trust.

Although she didn’t like the photo shoot that much, she was sufficiently cooperative to earn a gold star for tolerance.

With patience, time and a gentle hand, she will reach her full potential.

Miss Maeve is equally lovely but much more outgoing.

She has a distinctive, but very cute, bobtail.

Sweet-tempered and friendly with her humans, she is an excellent foil for her quieter sister.

Both girls are cat-friendly, but neither has had exposure to children since being in care.

Their joint adoption fee is $550 and they are desexed, vaccinated and microchipped.

They live inside exclusively and are litter-trained.
