Charlie is the definition of a love bug. He adores people and will happily greet you with instant head boops, purrs, and endless affection.

If you're looking for a true companion, Charlie is your guy. He's a total velcro cat who loves being close to his humans, whether that's curled up on the couch, following you from room to room, or soaking up all the pats and cuddles you can give. His sweet, gentle nature makes him impossible not to fall in love with.

Charlie would be well suited to a home with respectful children who understand how to interact gently with cats. He hasn't been tested with other cats or dogs, so any introductions would need to be slow, gradual, and managed carefully to give everyone the best chance of success.

This gorgeous boy has so much love to give and is dreaming of a family who will adore him as much as he'll adore them. If you're looking for an affectionate best friend who will brighten every day with head boops, cuddles, and unconditional love, Charlie is waiting to meet you.Please share, like and comment. Engaging with socials really does help get their faces out there and increase their chances of being adopted.

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

Still needing a home. Pretty sad how no one wants to give her a chance 😢

We have lowered her adoption fee to $50 to help her find a home. She also only needs her puffer approximately once a month. It really is not hard to care for her, yet we are struggling to find the right home or people willing to give her a chance.

Nancy is a truly gorgeous girl with a a huge heart! She is so so sweet, gentle, affectionate, and incredibly loving, with a big soft spot for her humans. If you’re looking for a cat who genuinely enjoys company and wants to be part of your daily life, Nancy is just for your!

She is a very friendly and affectionate little cat who thrives in a home where she can soak up lots of human attention. Nancy loves people and will happily keep you company, whether that’s cuddling on the couch or following you around the house. She’s also playful and enjoys interaction, making her a wonderful companion for someone who wants an engaged and affectionate cat.

Nancy does have asthma and will need her puffer when her breathing is heavy- this can vary from a couple times a week to once every 2 weeks. The good news? She handles it extremely well and takes it all in stride. With a dedicated and caring owner, managing her condition is very achievable, and she continues to live a happy, comfortable life.

This is not expensive, easy and so rewarding. Imagine looking at your best friend and knowing you are the one who gave them the chance of a beautiful life. Please do not be scared to take her on, she is the best!

Nancy would prefer to be in a home as the solo cat, or she can be in a larger space with a cat social cat (as long as he new human does a slow and proper introduction).

If you’re ready to open your heart and home to a truly special cat, Nancy is ready to meet you. She is desexed, vaccinated, flea/worm treated, microchipped and kitty litter trained. If you are interested in adopting her please apply by clicking on the application form below:

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:

We need someone to adopt this beautiful shy girl 😢 Madonna is a very cat social girl who really deserves a beautiful home.

We have lowered her adoption fee to $50 to help her find a home.

Please share, like and comment to help her find a home.

Madonna is a very nervous cat to start off with, she is highly highly cat social but very scared around humans - we feel they were not always kind to her. She is the kind of cat who will adore your cat before you.

This poor girl came to us with her tiny kittens and had a difficult life before being rescues. She has done such an amazing job of being a mum and now it is her time to be someone’s baby!

She would be best suited to a home with a cat social, sweet and welcoming cat who can show her how good life can be and build trust through your positive relationship with your cat. Madonna would also be okay in a solo cat home getting all the love. We have not tested her with dogs and she would not be suited to a home with children under 10.

Madonna is a petite, beautiful and gorgeous cat! Her markings are so special and she has such a sweet little fact! We adore her and just need someone to give her the chance she needs to be her friendliest and happiest self. Often shy cats do bond the closest with their special humans and have so much love to give! They are also often the smartest and most rewarding to adopt.

She is desexed, vaccinated, flea/worm treated, microchipped and kitty litter trained. If you are interested in adopting this cutie please apply by clicking on the application form below:

Please Adopt Ralphie 🧡 FIV & Fabulous!

We have lowered his adoption fee to $50 to help him find a family.

If you’ve ever dreamed of having a ginger companion, this is your moment. Ralphie is just as beautiful on the inside as he is on the outside. He has a 10/10 personality, so ever adopts him will be one very lucky family.

Ralphie will greet you with sweet head boops, curl up beside you on the couch, follow you from room to room, and even have little chats with you. He has the worlds biggest heart that is also just so grateful!

Ralphie must go to a home with no other cats. He hasn’t been tested with dogs, and we’re unsure how he would go with very young children.

Ralphie is FIV+ as sadly being judged and overlooked because of it. He is a healthy boy and doesn’t require medication. It simply means he has a weakened immune system so he needs to be kept indoors, fed a good diet, and have an annual vaccination - just like any well-loved pet. Many FIV+ cats live long, happy, normal lives.

As a typical ginger boy, Ralphie would really benefit from a home with a bit more space. He’s not suited to a small unit.

Ralphie is desexed, up to date with vaccinations, flea/worm treated, microchipped, and kitty litter trained. If you are interested in meeting him and adopting him please fill out an application form below:

Please Adopt Us 🧡

Our adoption fee has been reduced to $100 for both of us to help find us a family to call our own. Could that be with you?

Woody and Chester are a beautiful bonded pair of brothers who are looking for a home where they can stay together forever. These two sweet boys share an incredibly special bond, and there is nothing more heartwarming than seeing them curled up together for a cuddle or gently grooming one another.

Both boys are affectionate, friendly, and have the most wonderful temperaments. Once they feel comfortable, they absolutely love human company, enjoy snuggling up beside their people, and are always ready for a play session. They are the perfect combination of playful and loving.

Unfortunately, Woody and Chester are often overlooked during meet-and-greets because they can be shy around new people and unfamiliar environments. The busy atmosphere can make them appear reserved, and they usually need a few days to settle in before their true personalities shine. Once they feel safe, they transform into the sweet, cuddly, and affectionate boys we know and love.

We know that the right family will see beyond those first few nervous moments and give these deserving brothers the chance they need. In return, you'll be rewarded with double the love, double the cuddles, and the joy of watching their beautiful bond every day.

If you're looking for two gentle, affectionate companions with hearts of gold, Woody and Chester may be the perfect addition to your family. 🐾

Looking for a lap cat? 🩷

We have lowered Skeeta's adoption fee to $50 to help her find a home

At 10 years old, Skeeta is a 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 remains gentle, loving, 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.

After everything she has been through, Skeeta deserves nothing less than the very best.

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 and kitty litter trained.
