Please Adopt Me 💕

Ruby is the kind of cat who settles in like she's always belonged. Friendly, confident and endlessly curious, she stepped straight out of her carrier to explore her new surroundings before happily soaking up plenty of ear scratches.

She's a sweet, affectionate girl who is already making herself comfortable by hopping onto laps for cuddles. Her visits are getting longer every day, so we think she's well on her way to becoming a dedicated lap cat. She also has the sweetest purr, loves making biscuits, and has a gentle, loving nature that's impossible to resist.

She hasn't been tested with dogs or other cats, so any introductions would need to be slow and thoughtful. Equally, she would be perfectly happy as the only pet, soaking up all the love and attention. She would also do well in a home with respectful children.

Please share, like and comment. Engaging with socials really does help get their faces out there and increase their chances of being adopted.

Ruby will come desexed, up to date with vaccinations, flea/worm treated, microchipped and kitty litter trained.

Please Adopt Bea. She has been in care for over 200 days and not had any interest 🤍

To help Bea find the loving home she deserves, we have reduced her adoption fee to just $50.

Bea is a beautiful little soul who has come such a long way in foster care. She is a very timid and shy girl who needs time to feel safe, but once she trusts you, you'll discover the sweetest companion. One of her favourite things is curling up on her foster mum's bed for a peaceful nap, and seeing her confidence slowly grow has been incredibly rewarding.

Bea isn't the kind of cat who will run up to greet you on day one. She needs a patient, understanding family who will let her settle in at her own pace. If you can give her that gift of time, she will reward you with quiet companionship and gentle affection. Watching a shy cat learn to trust is one of the most special bonds you can experience.

Bea would love a home with another friendly, cat-social cat, provided introductions are slow and done properly. She would not be suited to a home with dogs or young children under 12 years old, as she needs a calm, predictable environment where she can continue to build her confidence.

This sweet little girl has so much love to give - she just needs someone willing to see past her shyness and give her the chance she deserves. Could that someone be you?
Please share, like and comment to help Bea find her forever home. Every interaction helps more people see her, and it really can make all the difference in finding this precious girl the loving family she's been waiting for.

She is desexed, microchipped, up to date with vaccinations, flea/worm treated and kitty litter trained. If you are interested in meeting and adopting her please apply by clicking on the application form below:

With her loving nature and friendly charm, Inky is ready to fill her forever home with companionship, purrs, and plenty of happy moments. All she needs now is a family to call her own.

Please Adopt Me ❤️

He keeps getting overlooked due to having FIV 😢 his adoption fee has been lowered to $50 to help him.

Max has been through so much and deserves only the best of homes! He Max came to us as an FIV+ boy with a severe skin infection and ringworm. He also needed a major dental and has been the sweetest and most grateful lad the entire time!

He is now a completely different can who is ready to find his forever home! Please share, like and comment to help find a family. Engaging with socials really helps make a big difference by getting their faces out there.

Max will greet you with instant head boops, is so gentle, sweet, loving and knows how lucky he is. A cat who will love you unconditionally and be so grateful for the life you have given him.

He is cat social and fine with dogs! Due to his FIV+ status it is best if he is rehomed to a home with FIV+ cats or FIV vaccinated cats. He would also be fine in a home as a solo pet getting all the love.

Max is gorgeous! Despite everything he has been through, he has such a beautiful coat that is a deep grey and the most handsome and loveable face! A big social boof-head who will melt your heart instantly!

Please consider adopting a fabulous FIV+ cat, all too often they are overlooked. FIV+ cats must be indoor only, given a high quality diet and have annual health checks / vaccinations (like all cats should). With the right care they often grow old and are healthy just like any other cat.

Max really is such a friendly, loving, gentle and sweet cat! He only deserves the most kind owners. If you are wanting to make a big difference to a cat who deserves the world then please consider lovely Max.

Max is desexed, up to date with vaccinations, flea/worm treated, microchipped and FIV+. If you are interested in meeting him and adopting him please apply

Pretty sad how no one wants to give her a chance 😢

We have lowered her adoption fee to $50 to help her find a home. She also only needs her puffer approximately once a month. It really is not hard to care for her, yet we are struggling to find the right home or people willing to give her a chance.

Nancy is a truly gorgeous girl with a a huge heart! She is so so sweet, gentle, affectionate, and incredibly loving, with a big soft spot for her humans. If you’re looking for a cat who genuinely enjoys company and wants to be part of your daily life, Nancy is just for your!

She is a very friendly and affectionate little cat who thrives in a home where she can soak up lots of human attention. Nancy loves people and will happily keep you company, whether that’s cuddling on the couch or following you around the house. She’s also playful and enjoys interaction, making her a wonderful companion for someone who wants an engaged and affectionate cat.

Nancy does have asthma and will need her puffer when her breathing is heavy- this can vary from a couple times a week to once every 2 weeks. The good news? She handles it extremely well and takes it all in stride. With a dedicated and caring owner, managing her condition is very achievable, and she continues to live a happy, comfortable life.

This is not expensive, easy and so rewarding. Imagine looking at your best friend and knowing you are the one who gave them the chance of a beautiful life. Please do not be scared to take her on, she is the best!

Nancy would prefer to be in a home as the solo cat, or she can be in a larger space with a cat social cat (as long as he new human does a slow and proper introduction).

Please Adopt Us - our adoption fee has been lowered to $100 for us both to help us find a home.

Banjo & Brumby are two gorgeous brothers who would love a home with each other or they can be adopted to a home with another cat. They are highly cat social and would be too lonely without a cat companion to snuggle with, play with and hang out with.

These two are the sweetest! They have the most beautiful markings, the sweetest faces, such playful spirits and big hearts! Whoever adopts them will be one very lucky family.

Ginger boys really are the best! If you have not had the pleasure of adopting one now is your chance! They are not suited to a small unit. They are fine with respectful children, other cats and cat social dogs.

Banjo & Brumby will be a little nervous to start off with. They will take a week or 2 to warm up in a new home so need someone kind, patient and understanding of that. Once they warm up they are 10/10 friendly and very affectionate!

Both babies are desexed, up to date with vaccination, flea/worm treated, microchipped, FIV/FeLV tested and litter trained.

If you’re interested in adopting, please complete the application form below (best filled out on a laptop or desktop). If your application is successful, we’ll contact you to discuss the cat further and arrange a meet-and-greet.
