Hello Spring……and every animal rescue gets an eye twitch! Why? Because out of control breeding with kittens and cats, both those that have homes and those that are stray, starts with vengeance.

Now is the time to take action. That stray cat that has been hanging around for a while, now is the time to get it sorted in just a few easy steps.

1. 🌸 Take a photo and advertise on your local community pages and the various lost & found pages.

2. 🌸 Ask your neighbours if it is safe to do so.

3. 🌸 Take the cat to your nearest vet clinic and their wonderful staff can scan for a microchip. If they have a microchip, they may be able to go home. No cost and no appointment needed. It takes just a few seconds.

4. 🌸 If no owner located after 7 days from advertising, please contact us and we can arrange to bring the kitten/cat into care.

As a rescue, we do have processes we need to follow.

❌ We cannot take in non-socialised/non-friendly animals.

Each situation is uniquely different to the next, so please do reach out to see if we can set up a plan.

P: 021 2468 978

We are open Monday-Saturday, 9am - 5pm.

What an incredible initiative from Kelly Oliver Photography!

Kelly generously offered to provide professional pet photography services in exchange for wet food donations to support the homeless kittens and cats arriving at the shelter this year.

Kelly connected with amazing pet owners and their beautiful companions, and then the fun began! The outcome? Absolutely gorgeous portraits that will become cherished keepsakes for these beloved pets and their families.

And the impact? A fantastic 1,680 wet food sachets were delivered!!!!

We're so grateful to everyone who participated—we hope you're thrilled with your portraits! And thank you for generously donating to our local shelter to help nourish the homeless kittens and cats.

If you've been thinking about getting pet portraits, family photos, or need a wedding photographer, reach out to Kelly Oliver Photography today.

Hey there! Big thanks to Olive (formerly Brigg's) for stepping up!

We're so grateful to everyone who jumped in and helped transform Olive's generous contribution into food donations for our new kittens and cats. Every animal deserves to have their belly full, so we really appreciate your kindness!

72 followers, 144 pouches, and one very thorough stock controller 🐾

Our ARM food drive officially wrapped up today, and this afternoon we delivered all 144 pouches of kitten food to Paws 4 Life!

Shelter cat Sushi was on hand to take delivery and check the inventory. We’re still waiting on the pawperwork, however.. 🐱📦

Olive promised two pouches for every new follower, and your support helped turn that promise into this lovely stack of food for hungry little mouths.

Thank you to everyone who followed, shared and cheered us on, and to the Paws 4 Life team for everything you do. 💚

Thank you to the friendly team Gallagher Animal Management! For always being community minded, animal focused and for having the best staff in Hamilton! Little mate here was “not” helpful this morning and clear stole the bag and it is apparently his now 😬

Remember Briggs? Here she is doing her best for all the little ones following in her footsteps and entering Shelter life.

Briggs’ dad is an absolute rockstar of a human and both he and Briggs are helping the kittens and cats now flooding into the Shelter.

Shelter life is temporary, but also where critical care the magic starts.

Help us feed the Shelter crew and get everyone adopted into fabulous forever homes 🏠

It is as simple as following Animal Record Manager!

A little follow can do a little good 🐾

For every new follower of the Animal Record Manager page from 𝟮7 𝗦𝗲𝗽𝘁𝗲𝗺𝗯𝗲𝗿 𝘁𝗼 𝟰 𝗢𝗰𝘁𝗼𝗯𝗲𝗿, we’ll donate 𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝗽𝗼𝘂𝗰𝗵 𝗼𝗳 𝘄𝗲𝘁 𝗸𝗶𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗻 𝗳𝗼𝗼𝗱 to our friends at Paws 4 Life Charitable Trust Glenview Cat Shelter.

They’ve put the call out for wet food as kitten season kicks off, and we’d love to help stock their shelves. Follow along, share with your friends to follow us, and we’ll share the final pouch count and donation next week. 🩷
