Thistle is a gorgeous black and white fluffy kitten with a heart full of love and a personality that shines.

Thistle is a very friendly, affectionate, playful, and sweet little boy who quickly wins everyone over. He is full of kitten curiosity and joy, always ready to explore, play, and then settle in for cuddles once he’s worn himself out. He has that perfect balance of fun energy and gentle affection that makes him such a joy to be around.

He is wonderful with children and gets along beautifully with other cats, making him an easy fit for a loving family home. Social, confident, and easy-going, Thistle brings a calm, happy energy wherever he goes and loves being part of the action.

Thistle would really love to be adopted with one of his siblings, Merlin or Juniper, so he can continue growing up alongside a familiar friend. Having a sibling to play, snuggle, and share life with would be the perfect match for him.

Thistle really is the kind of kitten who melts hearts instantly. He is ready to bring joy, laughter, and endless love to a very lucky forever home. Whoever adopts him will be one lucky family!

Merlin is a very friendly, affectionate, playful, and sweet little boy who brings joy wherever he goes.

Fluffy, cuddly, and irresistibly cute, Merlin is the kind of kitten who wins hearts instantly. He is ready to bring laughter, love, and endless cuddles to a very lucky forever home.

Black cats are all too often overlooked, please give this gorgeous girl a chance.

Velvet is a beautiful black mumma cat with a heart full of love and the sweetest, most affectionate nature.

Velvet has done an incredible job raising her babies with patience, care, and devotion, and now it is finally her turn to be spoiled and adored in a home of her own. She is very friendly, gentle, and loving, and she absolutely adores human attention and affection.

After being such a wonderful mum, Velvet is ready for a life where she can relax, be cared for, and no longer worry about other cats. She would thrive as the only pet in the home, where she can soak up all the love and attention she so happily gives in return or she would suit a home with her female kitten Juniper.

Velvet is the kind of cat who makes a lasting impression - calm, sweet, and deeply affectionate. Cats with her gentle and loving personality are truly special and don’t come along often.

She will make an incredible companion cat for someone looking for a loyal, loving friend to share their home and heart. We can’t wait to see Velvet finally get the forever home she so truly deserves.

Adopted 🩷

Beautiful Iris was saved from an overcrowded pound, coming heartbreakingly close to euthanasia through no fault of her own.

Many people still believe that healthy, friendly animals are always safe, but sadly that isn’t the reality. Across the country, shelters and pounds are facing an overwhelming homeless pet crisis, and countless wonderful animals are losing their lives simply because there aren’t enough homes. We try to save as many as possible from pounds, but it’s never enough.

Iris’s story has the happy ending she always deserved.

A huge thank you to her amazing new family for opening their hearts and giving her a second chance. As you can see, Iris has already found a very special best friend in little Lily. 🩷

Another big thank you to Sarah, her beautiful foster mum for giving her the lifeline she so desperately needed. Without foster carers we can’t save lives.

Stories like Iris’s are a reminder that there is nothing wrong with rescue animals. They are loving, loyal, and deserving of a family. The real tragedy is that they were let down by humans in the first place.

To everyone who supports our rescue work - whether through donations, sharing our posts, fostering, volunteering, or adopting - thank you. Every life we save is possible because of you.

Enjoy your beautiful new life, Iris. You are finally home. 🐾

Seraphina is a beautiful, gentle girl with the sweetest soul. We just really need someone to give her a chance.

She does have FIV - this will make it harder to find her the right home. If you are wanting to help a little cat who really needs it please consider her. We have lowered her adoption fee to $50 to help her.

Seraphina is a shy little sweetheart who is looking for someone special to see just how lovely she truly is. Quiet, gentle, and incredibly sweet, she takes a little time to feel safe in new surroundings, but she is so worth the patience. She needs a calm, understanding home with someone willing to let her settle in at her own pace and show her that the world can be kind.

Seraphina is very cat social and would thrive in a home with another friendly, confident cat to be her companion. Having a feline friend helps her feel safe and gives her comfort and confidence. We would especially love to find her a home with someone looking for a little friend for their own cat -someone who can show her the ropes and help her learn that not all humans are scary. It would be best if this cat also has FIV, is vaccinated against FIV or is very cat social.

Seraphina is searching for a patient and loving person willing to give her the time she needs to blossom. In return, you’ll be giving a very deserving girl the chance to feel safe, loved, and truly at home. She is a special little cat looking for someone equally special to love her.

Juniper is a beautiful fluffy black kitten with the sweetest soul and a gentle, playful spirit.

Juniper is a very friendly, affectionate, and playful little girl who loves being part of the action. She enjoys exploring, chasing toys, and joining in on all the kitten fun, but she is just as happy to settle in for cuddles when it’s time to rest. She has a soft, loving nature and a quiet charm that makes her incredibly easy to fall in love with.

She is wonderful with children and gets along beautifully with other cats, making her a lovely fit for a warm and social family home. Confident, gentle, and easy-going, Juniper adjusts well to new environments and blossoms quickly once she feels safe and settled.

Juniper would love to be adopted her mum Velvet or to a home with an existing cat to play with.

Elegant, fluffy, and full of love, Juniper is a truly special little kitten who brings warmth and joy wherever she goes. She is ready to find a forever home where she will be adored and cherished.

Astra is a beautiful little cat with a quiet soul and a heart full of love waiting to be discovered.

Astra is very shy when she first meets new people and needs time, patience, and a calm environment to feel safe. But once she trusts you, she transforms into the most affectionate, sweet, and gentle little companion who absolutely adores her people. When she bonds, she bonds deeply - and she will reward your patience with endless love and soft affection.

She is highly cat social and feels most confident when she has another friendly cat by her side. For this reason, she would be best suited to a home with an existing calm cat or with someone who is home often and able to provide gentle companionship throughout the day.

Astra needs a patient, kind, and understanding home that recognises shy cats don’t open up instantly, but that the bond built over time is something truly special. She is looking for someone who understands that trust is earned slowly and gently.

Because of her sensitive nature, Astra would not suit a home with dogs or children under 12. She prefers a peaceful, predictable environment without too much noise or chaos, where she can feel safe and secure.

With the right person, Astra will blossom into an incredibly loving, loyal, and affectionate little cat. She just needs someone special willing to give her the time she deserves.

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. 🐾

Banjo & Brumby need a home! ❤️ they have not had a single application 😭

Banjo & Brumby are two gorgeous brothers who would love a home with each other or they can be adopted to a home with another cat. They are highly cat social and would be too lonely without a cat companion to snuggle with, play with and hang out with.

These two are the sweetest! They have the most beautiful markings, the sweetest faces, such playful spirits and big hearts! Whoever adopts them will be one very lucky family.

Ginger boys really are the best! If you have not had the pleasure of adopting one now is your chance! They are not suited to a small unit. They are fine with respectful children, other cats and cat social dogs.

Banjo & Brumby will be a little nervous to start off with. They will take a week or 2 to warm up in a new home so need someone kind, patient and understanding of that. Once they warm up they are 10/10 friendly and very affectionate!

Both babies are desexed, up to date with vaccination, flea/worm treated, microchipped, FIV/FeLV tested and litter trained.
