Bambi was found living under a school, and while life hasn’t always been easy for this little lady, she has so much love waiting to come out. ❤️

All of Bambi’s litter mates have turned out to be incredibly smoochy, so we know that affectionate little personality is in there somewhere! Bambi just needs someone who understands that confidence can take time and is willing to be patient while she finds hers.

She can be a little shy about being petted sometimes, but then, when she feels comfortable, she’ll happily lie across your chest and purr away. 🥹 She’s a girl who will need you to let her set the pace — but the moments when she chooses to seek you out are incredibly special.

One thing Bambi has never been shy about is other cats! 😻 She absolutely adores feline friends and is super playful, so a friendly, confident cat companion would be a huge bonus for her.

Bambi is looking for a calm, patient home where she can settle in at her own pace, build trust, and discover just how wonderful being loved can be.

If you’re looking for an instant lap cat, Bambi may not be your girl just yet. But if you have the patience to wait for her to flourish, you could be rewarded with a very special little companion.

Imagine losing the person you’ve loved for 7 years when they move into a nursing home. Suddenly, your whole world changes and you’re left alone, with only a kind neighbour popping in to feed you.

That’s what happened to Chloe Belle. 💔 She has now been in care for 10 months, waiting for someone to give her a forever home.

Chloe can be shy at first, but once she comes out of her shell, she’s a beautiful snuggler who would happily spend all day snoozing on your bed. ❤️

She has a few allergies but is doing very well on a venison-only diet.
All Chloe needs is patience, love and a safe home where she can feel secure again in n her senior years.

If you’d like to meet Chloe please fill in our expression of interest form.

🐾 Meet Pirate — the shy gentleman who has been waiting far too long for his forever home. 🖤🏴‍☠️
Pirate is 1 year and 11 months old, but he’s been waiting for his family for almost his entire life. He came into care as a tiny 7-week-old kitten and somehow, his forever person still hasn’t found him.
And honestly? We think Pirate is one of those cats who is very easy to overlook at first — because he’s a super shy gentleman when he meets you.
Pirate needs time.
He can take a few weeks to settle into a new home, and it can take a few months before he truly lets his personality shine. But if you’re willing to be patient and let him come to you in his own time, you’ll discover the wonderful boy hiding beneath that initial shyness. ❤️
Once he’s comfortable, Pirate has plenty to say! 🗣️ He absolutely loves to chat, and his little conversations are just one of the many things that make him special.
Pirate also thrives as an only cat. He doesn’t need a feline friend to be happy — in fact, he really enjoys having his person and his home all to himself.
He’s looking for someone who understands that love doesn’t always happen overnight. Someone who will give him the time, patience and safe space he needs to feel secure.
Because Pirate has already waited far too long.
He shouldn’t have to spend another birthday, another Christmas, another season in care waiting for someone to see the beautiful boy we know he can be. 🥺
🏴‍☠️ Pirate is ready for his forever home.�He just needs someone willing to wait for him to show them who he really is.
Could you be Pirate’s person? 🖤

Love cats? Want to help out?

Our street team monitors cats in the Alexandria area of Sydney. Someone is out every night - doing head counts, feeding and checking in on the cats.

We are currently looking for people to help out on a casual basis. We need someone who can head out when our rostered person is sick or away. We also need someone who can feed a couple of cats on a Monday.
We tend to buy our own cat food and spread donations around.

Interested?
DM for more info - we will get back to you

As Dr Jodie Stewart, a cat historian and author of The Cats of Australia, puts it: Cats are seen as being aloof and independent, and you have to work on boundaries – to sit down and ‘talk’ about consent between one another."

We love cat dads! 🐈‍⬛❤️

While the feline has long been associated with the feminine, “cat dads” are moving into the limelight as outdated gender stereotypes fall by the wayside.

Lua 😍

Lua is a Portuguese name meaning 'Moon'. This girl does have a celestial aura to her.

She is a gentle and calm soul. Once she feels safe she will share your bed and pillow. Lua has a soft purr that will instantly ground you after a hard days work.

Lua has been in care for a whopping 565 days. It's very sad she is constantly overlooked and hasn't been given a home to flourish. Whilst her carers adore her they sadly cannot keep her.
Please share Lua's profile and help us to find her furever home.

If you’d like to meet Lua please fill in our expression of interest form.

Dudu came into care as a six week old kitten 564 days ago!

No cat should wait so long to find their furever home 😓. He's bright, he is active and he is loving. He can be a little shy on first meet but once he's comfortable he is an adoring and quirky housemate. He will work his way into your heart in no time.

Dudu has a mild heart murmur and is on daily medication which is not expensive. He does currently need annual echocardiograms however this may (or may not) change. His next echocardiogram is in October.

If you have ever wanted to save a deserving cat meet Dudu. Yes there are younger kittens needing homes, there's cats with healthier hearts, there's prettier boys out there. However Dudu is one of the most deserving cats we have ever met. And he deserves to find his furever home
