Meet Youki – a survivor ready for his second chance.

Youki has already been through more than his fair share of challenges in his young life. Recently spotted roaming the fields around Hawkesbury, he spent several days on the run—nervous, confused, and alone. Thankfully, our friends at Ge Cherche Charlie stepped in to help, and with patience and teamwork, Youki was finally brought to safety.

Now begins the next and most important chapter: helping him heal, rebuild trust, and find the loving, patient home he deserves.

At about two years old, Youki is slowly discovering that not all humans mean harm. Day by day, he’s making steady progress. Behind his initial shyness, we’re beginning to see a gentle, docile soul who is just starting to believe that the world might not be so scary after all. He’s still a little skittish, but he’s already come a long way.

Youki will thrive in a calm, experienced home—ideally one with adults or older, respectful children. The chaos and energy of young kids might be too overwhelming for him right now. What he truly needs is someone willing to give him the time and space to decompress, someone who will show him kindness, patience, and consistency.

Youki is ready to start over—with the right person by his side. He never wants to know the fear and uncertainty of being lost again. If you think you could be the one to help this beautiful boy blossom, please fill out the application form.
