These two babies were adopted together 🩷

They were rescued off the street as totally unsocial spicey little babies but look at them now! It’s a reminder that “feral” is not a breed.

A huge thank you to their new mum Lisa for giving the home and life they truly deserve. Here are few words from Lisa:

“I have been fortunate enough to adopt Miley and Robbie about 1 month ago. Robbie took a bit of time to settle in, but safe to say, we are all pretty comfortable now! These are my first cats, and it’s just so rewarding having two little bundles of love to come home to ❤️”

Safe forever and never to have kittens again. 🩷

Today, beautiful Maybell gave birth to five healthy little babies, with her wonderful foster carer right by her side supporting her through it all.

Maybell was rescued from the streets after already having multiple litters. Sadly, this is how the cycle continues one undesexed cat has kittens, those kittens grow up without enough human contact, and before long, another colony is born.

Stopping that cycle is one of the most important things rescue can do.

For Maybell, the cycle ends here.
She will never have to give birth on the streets again. She and her five babies are safe, loved and warm. When the time comes, they will all be fully vetted, desexed and given the chance to find beautiful forever homes.

One mum rescued doesn't just change her life it changes the lives of generations of cats who will never have to be born on the streets. 🩷

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

Happy 2 years in your home beautiful girl 🩷

Here is an update from her beautiful family

“There honestly aren’t enough words to describe the joy this unit brings into our lives every single day. The Queen of our home and the little lady who somehow managed to make me a third wheel in my own marriage. 😂

I’ve grown up with cats my whole life, but I’ve never met a personality quite like hers. She’s an epic biscuit maker, professional sleepyhead and absolute psycho all rolled into one.

If she’s not destroying her toys, ripping up the carpet or generally causing chaos, she’s following Jimmy around like his shadow or snoozing like she pays the mortgage. 😂

Forever grateful to House of Chances Rescue & Nina Ivanovic for saving our little girl. 🖤

She’s the best thing since sliced bread and we wouldn’t have her any other way. 🥹

Happy 2 years, Stormy girl. We bloody LOVE you. 🧡”

Why adopt a lap cat when you can adopt a meerkat? 🩷

Poor Essie is still searching for her perfect home.

Her adoption fee has been reduced to $50 to help her find a home.

We need a truly kind, patient and compassionate cat lover to adopt Essie.

At the moment she’s a “love me from a distance” kind of cat, with every chance of becoming friendlier as she continues to build trust. She simply needs time, patience and someone willing to let her settle at her own pace.

She is still very shy and, in a new home, will hide, hiss and may appear aggressive. But please don’t mistake fear for temperament. Essie is not feral. She is scared.

Cats like Essie need time, the right environment and, ideally, at least one confident, highly cat-social cat friend who can show them that humans aren’t all bad.

Essie is also one of those cats who simply isn’t happy living indoors all the time. She needs an indoor/outdoor lifestyle, ideally a quiet regional property or farm where she can safely enjoy the outdoors.

So many people say they want to help save cats like Essie, but the hardest part isn’t rescuing them - it’s finding someone willing to give them the time they need. The best things in life are worth waiting for, and we truly believe Essie will reward the person who gives her that chance.

Please consider making a difference by welcoming a shy kitty like Essie into your home. In time, these are often the cats who become the most loving and loyal companions.

Essie is desexed, up to date with vaccinations, flea/worm treated, microchipped, tested NEGATIVE for FIV / FeLV and kitty litter trained. If you are interested in adopting her please apply by clicking on the link below:

No applications 😭 kittens are so easy to adopt but no one wants a bonded adult pair.

💕 Double the Love, Double the Purrs! Please Adopt Daisy & Lilach 💕

Daisy & Lilach are a beautifully bonded mother and daughter pair who would love to come home with you. They really deserve to have a beautiful life.

Please share, like and comment. Every interaction helps more people see these gorgeous girls and gives them a better chance of finding the loving family they deserve.

Daisy is a very affectionate, sweet and loving cat who will shower you with head-boops, purrs and make you feel loved. Lilach is a little shy to start off with and will take time to feel comfortable with new people. She really relies on her mum for comfort. These two do have a special bond and we just want to make sure they stay together forever.

By adopting Daisy and Lilach together, you're not just giving two cats a home, you’re keeping a little family together. They have already been through so much, and now all they need is a place where they will be loved for the rest of their lives.
Could you be the one to give this sweet mother and daughter the happy ending they deserve?

They are desexed, up to date with vaccinations, flea/worm treated, microchipped and kitty litter trained.

Looking for a lap cat? 🩷 no one wants to adopt her 😭 she’s been rejected so many times and just deserves someone kind, stable and committed.

We have lowered Skeeta's adoption fee to $50 to help her find a home. No senior deserves to be homeless. Please share, like and comment to also help her.

At 10 years old, Skeeta is a very sweet, affectionate, and deeply deserving little lady who has been through far more than any cat ever should. Despite everything life has thrown at her, she is forgiving and ready to find someone to call her own.

Skeeta would be happiest as the only pet in the home, as she does not enjoy the company of other cats or dogs. She is also best suited to a calm home with no children under 12, where she can fully relax and enjoy a peaceful environment. She loves having her own space, feeling safe, and being adored on her terms.

Skeeta is nervous to start off with and is a cat who has boundaries and needs someone who can respect that. When overstimulated or given too much attention Miss Skeeta can give a real bitch slap! She just needs someone who will respect her space, not try to pick her up or touch her tummy.

We are looking for someone truly special for Skeeta someone patient, committed, and understanding who can offer her the quiet, loving forever home she deserves. In return, Skeeta will reward you with companionship, sweetness, and the privilege of loving a cat who has waited far too long for her happy ending.

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

She is desexed, up to date with vaccinations, flea/worm treated, microchipped, FIV/FeLV NEGATIVE and kitty litter trained.

Not one application 😭

Lily & Delilah are beautiful cats on the inside and out! We would love to find them a home together.

We have lowered their adoption fee to $100 for the pair to help them find a loving home.

Both girls came from a lovely home, sadly their owner passed away. We do not want them to be away from each other as they have already experienced so much loss.

Lily & Delilah are friendly girls, very gentle and sweet. They are nervous to start off with, so will need someone patient, kind and understanding to give them the time and patience they need to warm up.

Both are very playful, sweet and chatty little girls who are sure to bring a smile on your face daily. Sadly, black and white cats are very hard to rehome and so are adult pairs. We just really hope someone lovely wants to adopt them

They are desexed, up to date with vaccinations, flea/worm treated, microchipped, kitty litter trained and FIV/FeLV NEGATIVE.

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.

We wed someone special to give Socks the chance at a home 🥹

❤️ 13 year old Socks needs a loving home to live out his twilight years! Could you be his family?

We have some wonderful news about our beautiful Socks. He is now in remission from diabetes and no longer needs insulin! He does need to remain on a diabetes specific diet only to help keep him healthy and in remission.

Socks is honestly such a gorgeous boy. He is super friendly, affectionate, placid and sweet and absolutely loves human company. He would make the most beautiful companion for someone looking for an older cat to share their home with.

His absolute favourite thing is finding a sunny spot and watching the world go by. ☀️ Socks would love a home with lots of natural sunlight and warm windows where he can stretch out, snooze and enjoy his retirement. He also loves snuggling up on the bed and being close to his people.

Socks has decided that other animals are simply not for him. He loves his humans and would like to keep them all to himself, so he must be the only cat in the home and cannot live with dogs.

At 13, we know Socks may be overlooked for younger cats, but he really is such a special boy. He is a total gentleman with so much love and companionship to give. He just needs a quiet, comfortable home, plenty of sunshine and someone who will adore him for the rest of his life.

Please share, like and comment to help Socks find his person. Seniors are always harder to rehome and engaging with his post genuinely makes such a difference. 🥺❤️

Socks is desexed, up to date with vaccinations, flea/worm treated, microchipped, FIV / FeLV NEGATIVE and kitty litter trained. If you are interested in adopting this beautiful boy please apply by clicking on the application form below:
