The Shrek litter is looking for homes!

There are 7(!) kittens in this litter, each with their own personality. The boys are ready to go now, while the girls (Princess Fiona, Dragon and Fairy*) will be ready next week.

Shrek is a total loveboy. He is affectionate, easy-going and always happy to spend time with people.

Princess Fiona* is only truly happy when she's being held or curled up on a lap. She loves being close to her people and takes cuddling very seriously.

Donkey is the playful one. He is always on the move, always investigating and always finding a way to turn everyday life into a game.

Dragon* is a sweetheart through and through. She has a calm nature and enjoys nothing more than relaxing with her people.

Gingerbread Man is playful, cuddly and well-balanced. He enjoys a good play session but is just as happy settling down for a cuddle afterwards.

Prince Charming certainly earned his name. He is sweet, charismatic and has a way of winning people over almost immediately.

Fairy* is the boss of the group. She's gorgeous, playful and full of confidence. She likes things done her way, and the others seem quite happy to agree.

All kittens are desexed, had their first vax, NZCAR microchipped, regularly treated for flea&worms, and vet checked. Adoption fee is $225.

Camilla puts the sweet in sweetie pie. She is an absolute love bomber and the ultimate lap cat. If you’re looking for a lap warmer this winter, look no further.

Camilla adores being around her people. She will curl up on you, beside you, or sleep as close as physically possible. She settled into her foster home in less than a week and slotted herself into the household like she’d always been there. She’s a very clean, tidy girl and an easy cat to live with.

She’s confident, easygoing, and incredibly tolerant. She doesn’t mind small children and takes everything in stride with her calm nature. She has not been tested with dogs, but likely won't be a fan, and other cats are a bit hit & miss.

Camilla is 11 years old, but it hasn’t slowed her down one bit. She is in excellent health, her teeth are immaculate, and she is genuinely in amazing condition. She still has so much love and companionship to give and is expected to live a long, healthy, happy life. Get in touch if Camilla would be a good fit for you!

Happy Mother’s Day to all the mums out there with four-legged children at home 🐾

A big thank you to all the mums who have adopted from us & opened their homes to a shelter cat or kitten. We never get tired of watching them go from shelter life to safe, loved, spoiled pets.

Neonate/Bottle Baby Fosters Needed!

Bottle babies cannot survive in a shelter environment. They need round-the-clock feeding, warmth, monitoring, and experienced care.

We are critically short on neonatal fosters right now. When we don’t have enough experienced people available, we run out of options for these most vulnerable kittens.

This role does require previous experience or confidence handling very young kittens.

Please get in touch if you are interested in fostering with us!

We’re heading into a tough part of the season.

Cat mums are on their second (or even third!) litters, and pregnancy & nursing takes a huge toll on them. By this point they’re running on empty, and the kittens pay the price. Kittens come in weak and malnourished. It can be a struggle to keep them alive.

This is preventable! Desex your pets! If a stray turns up, act early. Reach out! We may not be able to help in every situation, but we can certainly offer advice and help where we can.

If you are able to support us and the work we do, donations go directly toward the care of these animals in need.
