🐾 𝐂𝐑𝐎𝐘𝐃𝐎𝐍 𝐏𝐀𝐑𝐊 𝐂𝐎𝐋𝐎𝐍𝐘 𝐔𝐏𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄 — 𝟑 𝐌𝐎𝐑𝐄 𝐒𝐀𝐅𝐄 💔🐾

Last week we shared the heartbreaking story of the colony in Croydon Park — a colony that has been surviving on the streets for years, with cats constantly being born, fighting to survive and trying to make it through another day.

Yesterday, we spent 5½ HOURS at the site.

We watched their movements. We watched where they came from and where they disappeared to. We counted, observed and trapped.

And we now have a much better idea of what we’re dealing with.

Today, THREE MORE CATS ARE SAFE. ❤️

We actually trapped four, but sadly one managed to escape while we were transferring him. It was absolutely heartbreaking, but we’ll be back and we’ll try again. Better luck next time. 💔

The three who are safe are absolutely STUNNING — but they all need names! 🥹

And there are still so many waiting for us.

We believe there are approximately SIX more kittens/young cats still at the site, but we are expecting that number to increase because one of the mums has just given birth within the last week. 😭

There are also four young cats around 4–5 months old who desperately need to be trapped.

And the girls have already started coming into heat. 💔

That means these babies could be having babies themselves before we even get the chance to save them.

🚨 WE DESPERATELY NEED FOSTER CARERS 🚨

If you can foster one of these young cats — even temporarily while they are assessed, treated and prepared for adoption — please reach out to us.

We don’t want these babies spending another kitten season on the streets.

Among those still needing to be trapped are:

🐾 A smoky black tabby girl who looks incredibly similar to Blacky.

🐾 A black & white kitten — gender currently unknown.

🐾 Two silver tabbies.

🐾 A silver tabby boy who has clearly been through hell. He has a cauliflower ear and only half a tail, believed to be the result of a horrific cat fight some time ago. He’s quite docile and desperately needs safety.

Sadly, he was actually the boy who escaped the trap. 💔 But we know where he is, and we’ll be trying again.

And then there’s Mumma.

A black & white female who has been there the longest.

We are desperately trying to locate her kittens so we can safely trap them — and then finally get Mumma to safety too.

⸻

💔 AND THEN THERE’S THIS BOY…

Of the three we managed to bring in tonight, one particular boy has completely broken our hearts.

A Ragdoll-looking boy who has been posted all over lost pet pages since last week.

We finally trapped him.

And now that he’s safe, we’re seeing just how badly he has been suffering. 💔

We believe he may have been dumped approximately six months ago.

Six months.

Six months of living on the streets.

Six months of fighting.

Six months of trying to survive.

He is not in good condition.

His body is covered in the evidence of the battles he’s been forced to fight — multiple burst abscesses, old wounds and significant discomfort around his hind legs/joints.

He doesn’t appear to have received veterinary care.

He looks like an older boy who has spent far too long simply trying to survive.

But now…

HE DOESN’T HAVE TO FIGHT ANYMORE. ❤️‍🩹

When we finally got him into the car, he settled.

He slept.

The entire way home.

And honestly, we think his body finally realised that he was safe.

That he didn’t need to stay awake watching for the next cat to attack him.

That he didn’t have to defend himself.

That he didn’t have to fight for food.

That he didn’t have to sleep with one eye open.

We want to get him into the care of Dr Kristian so he can finally receive the treatment he has been desperately needing.

We need those battle scars cleaned up.

We need those abscesses properly assessed and treated.

We need to investigate his painful hind legs.

We need to get the veterinary care, medication and TLC into him that he should have had months ago.

And most importantly…

we need to show him that humans can be kind. ❤️

This boy has survived six months on the streets.

Now, he finally gets to sleep somewhere warm and safe.

Now, he gets to close his eyes without having to worry about what is coming for him next.

But this is only the beginning.

There are still so many cats waiting for us at Croydon Park.

More kittens.

More young cats.

Mumma.

And more we haven’t even been able to reach yet.

💔 We cannot do this without foster carers.

💔 We cannot do this without donations.

💔 And we cannot leave them there to continue breeding and fighting.

If you can foster, please message Raffy’s Wild Hearts.

If you can donate towards this boy’s veterinary care, even $5 or $10, it will help us get him the treatment he needs.

We are a small rescue, but we keep showing up. We keep opening our doors. We keep saying yes when an animal desperately needs help.

𝐇𝐄𝐋𝐏 𝐔𝐒 𝐒𝐀𝐕𝐄 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐂𝐀𝐓𝐒 𝐎𝐅 𝐂𝐑𝐎𝐘𝐃𝐎𝐍 𝐏𝐀𝐑𝐊 🐈

For more than 2.5 YEARS, a colony of cats has been trying to survive on the streets of Croydon Park.

They didn’t choose this life.

They didn’t choose to sleep outside.

They didn’t choose to dodge cars just to survive another day.

And sadly, they are living in a location where traffic could kill them at any moment. 💔

We estimate there are AT LEAST 10 cats in this colony — and with kitten season here, that number could grow rapidly.

Every unsterilised female could mean another litter.

Another generation born outside.

Another tiny life growing up learning to fear people, cars and the world around them.

But we have been given an incredible opportunity.

🙏 Emma Cuppleditch has generously lent us a drop trap, giving us the chance to safely and efficiently trap these cats and finally get them out of this dangerous location.

Like blackie we managed to secure this super sweet black tabby boy tonight with the drop trap. He going in tomorrow to be vetted & will be available for adoption in a couple of weeks 💗

BUT WE NEED FOSTER CARERS.

This is the part we cannot do alone.

We can trap them.

We can organise their veterinary care.

We can give them food, safety and a chance.

But we need somewhere safe for them to go.

🏠 WE NEED FOSTER HOMES NOW.

Even fostering ONE cat could be the difference between that cat getting a second chance — or continuing to live beside a road where the next car could be the one that doesn’t see them.

We don’t want to wait until we receive a message saying:

💔 “A cat from the colony has been hit.”

We don’t want to find a body on the side of the road.

We don’t want to watch the colony continue to grow while kittens are born into the same dangerous life their mothers have endured.

We want to intervene BEFORE tragedy happens.

These cats have already waited long enough.

They have survived 2.5 years on the streets.

Now they need someone to open a door for them. ❤️

🐾 Can you foster?

You don’t need to be an experienced foster carer. We will support you throughout the process and work with you and your foster cat every step of the way.

If you can provide a spare room, bathroom, laundry, enclosure or safe space for even one cat, please reach out.

📍 Croydon Park, SA

📩 Message Raffy’s Wild Hearts if you can foster.

And if you can’t foster, PLEASE SHARE.

Because somewhere out there is the person who can give one of these cats a safe place to land.

They have spent 2.5 years surviving.

Let’s finally give them a chance to live. 🐾❤️‍🩹

Rescuing the forgotten. Healing the broken. Freeing the wild spirit in every animal.

🥊 𝐌𝐄𝐄𝐓 𝐌𝐈𝐊𝐄 𝐓𝐘𝐒𝐎𝐍 — 𝐈𝐓’𝐒 𝐓𝐈𝐌𝐄 𝐓𝐎 𝐇𝐀𝐍𝐆 𝐔𝐏 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐁𝐎𝐗𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐆𝐋𝐎𝐕𝐄𝐒 🥊

Meet Mike Tyson, a beautiful boy named by our gorgeous vet nurses, Rhy & Lachlan. ❤️

And just like his namesake… this boy has been through a few rounds.

Mike was once someone’s beloved kitten. But at around one year old, he disappeared.

For the next five years, Mike survived life on the streets.

Five years of having to fend for himself. Five years of injuries, uncertainty and never knowing where his next meal would come from.

Then, one night, something incredible happened.

Mike’s owner opened the front door… and there he was.

Meowing at the door.

After five long years, he had finally found his way home. 🥺❤️

Sadly, his owner was no longer able to keep him, so Mike was surrendered to us — giving this old street warrior the chance to finally know safety, comfort and love again.

And our boy has certainly taken a few hits along the way.

🥊 Mike is FIV positive
🥊 He has a painful mouth ulcer/infection
🥊 He has three fractured canine teeth
🥊 And he has a cauliflower ear from an old injury that has now healed

Mike was supposed to have his desexing and vaccinations today, but unfortunately our poor boy also has cat flu. 😿

So, his surgery has been put on hold for a couple of weeks while we get him feeling better.

While Mike isn’t quite ready for adoption yet, he doesn’t need to spend the next few weeks in HQ.

We would absolutely love to find this beautiful boy a foster or foster-to-adopt home where he can recover somewhere warm, quiet and comfortable while he waits for his desexing and vaccinations.

Because Mike is FIV positive, he will need a home with other FIV-positive cats or no other cats.

He has already spent five years surviving on the streets.

We want his next chapter to be completely different.

Just a soft bed, a full belly, a warm home and someone who will show him that life can finally be kind. ❤️‍🩹

Mike has spent enough time fighting to survive.

Now it’s our turn to fight for him. 🥊❤️

📍 Adelaide, SA

If you can offer Mike a safe place to recover, please send us a message about fostering or foster-to-adopt.

Welcome to Raffy’s Wild Hearts, beautiful Mike Tyson.

Your street-fighting days are over. It’s time to heal. 🥺❤️‍🩹

Camilla is back up for adoption ☺️

🐾 𝐀𝐕𝐀𝐈𝐋𝐀𝐁𝐋𝐄 𝐅𝐎𝐑 𝐀𝐃𝐎𝐏𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍 — 𝐂𝐀𝐌𝐈𝐋𝐋𝐀 👑

Camilla, aka Queen Camilla, is now ready to find her forever home! 💗

Camilla is a beautiful 6-month-old tortoiseshell DLH who came into our care in the early stages of pregnancy. We believe she was most likely abandoned on the streets, and we arranged for her to be desexed and have her pregnancy safely terminated.

She is an absolute sweetheart and is super friendly! 🥰

✨ Desexed
✨ Microchipped
✨ First vaccination
✨ Super friendly
✨ 6 months old

Camilla is looking for a loving indoor home where she can be treated like the queen she is! 👑💕

Adoption fee: $220

📍 Located in Greenacres, SA.

🐾 𝐂𝐀𝐑𝐎𝐋 — 𝐋𝐎𝐎𝐊𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐅𝐎𝐑 𝐇𝐄𝐑 𝐅𝐎𝐑𝐄𝐕𝐄𝐑 𝐇𝐎𝐌𝐄 🐾

Please read Carol’s story carefully before applying. ❤️

Meet Carol — a beautiful grey & white domestic shorthair, approximately 1 years old.

But Carol isn’t your typical house cat.

Carol was born on the streets as part of a colony. About a year and a half ago, she was rescued through another rescue organisation. Sadly, her life since then has been anything but stable.

She was moved through three different foster homes, adopted, returned, adopted again, then given away to a cat hoarder instead of being returned to rescue. She was eventually dumped, ended up at the RSPCA, and when the original rescue didn’t collect her, Carol was facing euthanasia.

That’s when we stepped in. ❤️

We took Carol in, and since November last year she has remained in the same foster home.

No more being passed around.
No more constantly having to start again.
No more being let down.

And slowly, Carol has started to learn what it means to feel safe.

When Carol first arrived, she wouldn’t allow a human anywhere near her without attacking.

Today, she is still a timid, unsocialised cat, but she has come such a long way. She hides, she keeps her distance and she doesn’t enjoy being touched — but she has learned that humans can exist around her without being a threat.

And then there is her favourite thing… ☀️

SUN BAKING IN THE CATIO.

You’ll often find Carol stretched right out, soaking up the sunshine and simply enjoying life. 🥹

Because of this, an outdoor secure cat run is an absolute requirement for Carol’s new home.

We will not expect Carol to live indoors without access to a secure catio/cat run. She must have a properly enclosed outdoor space with cat netting.

⚠️ Carol must NOT be free-roaming.

Carol also absolutely loves other cats. In fact, she is much more of a cat’s cat than a people’s cat.

She loves being around other cats, playing with them and cuddling up with them. ❤️

She has only allowed her foster carer to give her a little cuddle once.

Yes… just once.

But that one moment showed us something incredibly important:

Maybe, one day, Carol will choose to trust.

We don’t know whether she will ever become a lap cat. We don’t know whether she will ever want to be picked up or cuddled.

And we aren’t asking her to.

We just want someone who will love her for exactly who she is.

🏡 Carol’s ideal home:

• 1–2 adults only
• No children
• Ideally 1–2 friendly resident cats
• A secure outdoor cat run/catio with cat netting
• No free-roaming
• Someone patient and understanding
• Someone who will never force interaction
• Someone prepared for trust to take months, or even years
• A home committed to Carol for life — regardless of whether she ever becomes affectionate

Carol has already had far too many people make decisions about her life.

Her next home needs to be her final one.

She needs someone who understands that sometimes love isn’t about being able to cuddle an animal.

Sometimes love is simply sitting beside them, giving them space, and saying:

“You don’t have to be afraid anymore. I’m not going anywhere.” ❤️

Carol is desexed, microchipped and vaccinated.

Because we desperately want to find the right person for her, her adoption fee has been heavily reduced to just $50.

Please don’t apply because you feel sorry for Carol.

Please apply because you truly understand her and are prepared to give her the time, patience and stability she has been denied for so much of her life.

Carol doesn’t need to be fixed.

She needs to finally be home. 🏡❤️

This little one needs a home where they can be given the time, patience and love they deserve while they settle in.
