Shelly's Place - Animal Rescue

A place where stray & abandoned cats feel safe and loved. Designated rehoming organisation R251000254 How you can help:

- Share our posts!

Shelly's Place Animal Rescue is a small group of volunteers dedicated to the rescue of domestic animals in Sydney. We rely on the generosity and support of the public to continue our life saving work. The more people who see our posts of beautiful, adoptable cats and kittens, the wider the pool of potential adopters and the greater their chances of finding their forever homes.

- Adopt! You can complete an adoption enquiry form to adopt an animal you have seen, or join a waitlist for your purrfect match. https://form.jotform.com/shellys.place.rescue/adoption-enquiry

- Foster! If you can't commit to a cat permanently, why not foster? We always need new families to help, who are ready to take in a cat or kitten at a moment's notice. If you have a bathroom, you can foster! Enquire here --> https://form.jotform.com/shellys.place.rescue/foster-enquiry-

- Donate! The adoption fee we charge does not cover the vet work for these babies, let along the costs involved in taking care of sick and injured animals too. Please give what you can so we can continue to help the animals in our care. https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=FCHTCKGR6QG26

😻 Meet Otis!! 😻

Otis is the absolute sweetest!! He’s a happy, cuddly, chill little guy.

🥰 Absolutely loves a cuddle. A lap is his favourite place to be and he loves being scooped up and carried around. He drapes he’s paws around your neck to give you a hug.

🧘‍♀️ He’s a calm little guy who is pretty much ok with anything. He’s happy to let the world happen around him. There’s not an aggressive bone in his body!

🧶 He loves playing with his toys and listening to cat radio! (Who even knew that was a thing?!)

🙀 The one thing that scared Otis was his own reflection!! He jumped a mile!! But now he realises that that kitten in the mirror is a pretty handsome guy!!

Because he’s so relaxed and sweet Otis would be great in a house with kids. He’s a perfect family kitty. And there’ll always be plenty of people around to give him cuddles.

Age: 9 weeks
Location: North Sydney, NSW
MC: 991003003767458
Adoption fee: $325

Otis comes desexed, 1st vaccinated, microchipped, lifetime registered, and flea and worm treated.

🧡 Meet Ranger!! 🧡

If there was a scoring scale for kittens Ranger would score a 10 out of 10 for cuddliness and playfulness!

He is so desperate for cuddles that he will climb your leg to get into your lap and into your arms. (We recommend against shorts). When he gets there he holds on for dear life and purrs and purrs and purrs. He is the absolute sweetest!!

When he can’t get cuddles for whatever reason, he tears around pouncing on anything that looks like it might move. He would be great for kids because he would probably play with them forever!

The only thing Ranger wouldn’t like is being alone for long periods of time so a busy family or a kitty friend would be ideal.

Location: Botany, NSW
Age: 10 weeks
MC: 991003003767464
Adoption fee: $325

Ranger comes desexed, 1st vaccinated, microchipped, lifetime registered and flea and worm treated.

ADOPTED!

❤️ Meet Moji! ❤️

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 This special girl is a Scottish Fold and was surrendered to the rescue because her owner is moving overseas.

😠 She has a grumpy cat face, but she’s not grumpy at all! She’s really sweet!

🥰 She loves to come for a cuddle and will show how much she loves you by licking your fingers. It’s important to her that her humans are nice and clean!

🐈‍⬛ She’s fostered in a home with lots of other cats, and her original home also had lots of cats, but we think she’d be fine on her own. She likes to graze on her food and at the moment she comes back to her bowl and the other cats have eaten it all! Although she’d happily live solely on treats.

😎 She’s a pretty chill cat and would be fine in any home really. If she’s bothered by something she just takes herself off to her bad and has a snooze.

🩺 Note: when we had Moji examined by a vet they said she had a grade 3 heart murmur. It doesn’t seem to be giving her any trouble. She’s just happy chillaxing and living her life. She also had a teeth clean because she had a bit of tartar build up, so her teeth are lovely now.

Location: Botany, NSW
Age: 6 years
Adoption fee: $325

ADOPTED! 🖤🤍 Meet Oreo! 🖤🤍

This gorgeous little girl was handed in at one of our vets with her mum and siblings. They’ve all been adopted but she’s still waiting to find her home.

It’s probably because she can be a bit shy and takes some time to adjust to new people and places. But once she knows you and trusts you she’s an absolute lap cat. She occasionally incapacitates her foster carer because everyone knows the rule is that once a cat is on your lap, you can’t move.

When she’s not sitting on laps, Oreo loves to play with her toys and play with the other foster cats in her foster home. She loves other cats and loves hanging out with them.

She would suit a quieter home with one or two people she can bond with.

Location: Darling Point, NSW
Age: 13 weeks
Adoption fee: $325
MC: 991003003398552

Oreo is desexed, 1st vaccinated, microchipped, lifetime registered and flea and worm treated.

🖤🤍 Sooty and Joe are looking for a new home together. 🤍🖤

These guys love each other but they don’t really love some of the other resident cats in their household so they’re looking for a quiet home where they can just be together on their own.

Sooty - the Ragdoll - is a total character. He’s very chatty and loves his belly rubs. He loves hanging out with his humans and hates being on the other side of a closed door from his people. He will complain about it loudly!

Joe can be wary of new people but will follow Sooty’s lead. Once he loves you he’s the absolute snuggliest! He loves playing with his toys and “ekekek”ing at birds out the window.

They love hanging out together and playing chasies.

These guys would suit a quiet household rather than a noisy family. But they’re a beautiful instant cat family and they’ll always have each other for company if their human or humans are away at work.

Sooty and Joe are both desexed, vaccinated, microchipped, lifetime registered and flea and worm treated.

Apply to adopt Sooty and Joe at https://form.jotform.com/shellys.place.rescue/adoption-enquiry

Location: Croydon, NSW
Age: Sooty - 4 years, Joe - 1.5 years
Adoption fee: $300 for the pair

🤷‍♀️ Can anyone spot what these gorgeous cats all have in common?

✅ They’ve all been with the rescue since they were kittens 😢 Now they’re big girls!

✅ They all love a pat and a snuggle (except maybe the snuggle part for Hattie but she’s getting there - you can snuggle with her sister Beanie. They come as a pair!)

✅ They all need to find their forever homes.

And of course, they’re all either black or black and white.

⁉️ Did you know that black and white cats are almost always the last to be adopted at a rescue? It doesn’t matter how lovely they are, they get judged on the colour of their fur. It’s really not fair.

❔How can you help? When chosing your perfect cat, focus on their personality and not their fur. Adopt an adult black and white cat who are always the last to go from a shelter. You’ll love them just as much as a ginger or a calico we promise!

If you’d like to adopt any of these girls, please apply at https://form.jotform.com/shellys.place.rescue/adoption-enquiry

Note that Beanie and Hattie can only be adopted as pair.

All Shelly’s Place animals come desexed, 1st vaccinated, microchipped, lifetime registered and flea and worm treated.

Adoption fee: $100 for an adult
Location: Cookie- Waverley, NSW, Beanie and Hattie- Botany, NSW, Nikki - Seven Hills, NSW
Age: all at or less than 1 year old
