Charlie has been adopted.

INTRODUCING CHARLIE

Little Charlie is a stunningly pretty sweetheart with a beautiful coat and surprisingly fluffy tail. She is gentle and generally very calm and a soothing little presence around the house.

Charlie’s usual vibe is chill, observant and friendly. She loves to just relax in the comfiest, cosiest spots she can find and hanging out with her humans and the other cats in her foster home.

Charlie loves other cats. When she first arrived in foster care she was a little scared but once she saw the other cats she came right out of her shell following them around and learning the ropes. As a result, her favourite game is to chase their swishing tails but she also likes when the humans wiggle the wand toys for her to chase.

Charlie is a truly sweet kitty who has become so much more confident and relaxed during her time in foster care. She will be best suited to a home with another cat and humans who will give her time and support to resettle into a new environment. She loves pats and face rubs and will wind herself all around your legs with love and affection but she is still getting used to being held and carried. She is an excellent little biscuit maker and assistant as you complete household tasks.

Please note that Charlie will need to be an inside cat for safety due to her fair skin. Cats and kittens with light noses and/or ears are more susceptible to getting sunburnt, and in turn, getting skin cancer.

All AWL NSW kittens and cats come litter trained, desexed, microchipped and will have received their first vaccination.

Dolly has been adopted, Kenny is still available.

INTRODUCING DOLLY AND KENNY

Dolly Parton is a super-sweet brown tabby with a heart as big as her namesake’s. This girl has soooo much love to give and absolutely no intention of keeping it to herself. She adores her humans, makes friends with everyone she meets and is currently working very hard on convincing the dog in her foster home that they should be besties. The dog has yet to sign the friendship agreement, but Dolly remains optimistic. She comes running when you call her name, finds joy in absolutely anything she can get her paws on, and is 100% committed to evenings spent chilling in front of the TV. Dolly believes in a simple life philosophy: love everyone, play with everything, and never miss your favourite show. Basically, she’s a tiny country queen who works hard at spreading love and then clocks off for Netflix.

And then there’s Kenny Rogers, Dolly’s handsome, fluffy black-and-white sidekick, who has the looks, the personality and absolutely no idea when to quit. Kenny loves being held like a baby, where he will gaze adoringly at his humans and reach up with his tiny paws to touch their faces. It's ridiculously sweet and makes you feel like the most important person in the world. Naturally, this is all part of his long-term strategy to ensure you never put him down again. But don't let the romantic side fool you. Kenny also gets the zoomies, tearing around the foster home, chasing Dolly and attacking anything that dares to exist within paw's reach. His current obsession? A rolled-up receipt. Forget expensive toys, Kenny is happy with whatever he finds.

Dolly and Kenny can be adopted either separately or as an adorable due. You can go and visit Dolly and Kenny in Petstock in Albion Park Rail so drop in and say hi.

Please note that Dolly and Kenny will need to be inside cats for safety due to their fair skin. Cats and kittens with light noses and/or ears are more susceptible to getting sunburnt, and in turn, getting skin cancer.

Summer has been adopted.
INTRODUCING SUMMER!

Summer is a playful, curious, and sweet little boy with a whole lot of personality packed into a sweet little tabby body. He loves a good nose bop and face scratch, and is always ready for his next adventure.

Summer's favourite pastime is definitely attacking his sister, Poppy, with plenty of zoomies and playful antics thrown into the mix. He loves chasing dangly toys, showing off his impressive jumping skills and finding the perfect spot to observe the world from his cat pole. He also has a cheeky habit of mistaking toes for toys, often accompanied by a very serious bum wiggle as he plans his next pounce!

When it comes to nap time, Summer has some rather amusing sleeping positions. You might find him upside down, draped across his siblings or completely sprawled out on his back with all four paws in the air. It's hard not to smile at this little character!
Summer is a big fan of his food, enjoys the company of other cats and is a lovely match for a family with children of all ages.

With his playful nature, sweet personality and adorable little nose bops, Summer is sure to bring plenty of laughter and love to his forever home. Just be prepared for lots of playtime, cheeky pounces and some seriously cute cuddles!

Phoenix has been adopted
INTRODUCING PHOENIX!

Meet Phoenix, a dashing tuxedo gentleman with long legs, classic black and white good looks and the charm to match! This handsome boy knows how to make an entrance, greeting his favourite humans with a happy purr and a beeline straight over for attention. He is quite the conversationalist, too, making eye contact as though he is waiting for you to reply. With Phoenix, you are never just talking to yourself. You are having a proper conversation with a very well-dressed gentleman!

When he is not busy charming the humans, Phoenix embraces the finer things in life. Think cosy snoozing spots, lounging beside his favourite person and the occasional dramatic flop onto the rug to request a belly rub. Toys are all well and good, but why expend too much energy chasing something when you can simply stretch out a paw and intercept it? His approach to play is wonderfully relaxed, and he is a firm believer that comfort and companionship are always in fashion.

Phoenix is confident when meeting new people, gets along well with other cats and has a lovely sensitive side that sometimes just wants to know you are there. He is also an easy-going chap who is happy to be brushed, enjoys his food without fuss and behaves beautifully with new experiences. Handsome, sociable and impeccably mannered? That tuxedo really does come with a full set of gentlemanly qualities!

Phoenix is looking for a loving home where he can be your devoted sidekick, personal greeting committee and sofa companion all rolled into one. He would love someone who appreciates a chat, welcomes a furry shadow and understands that the best seat in the house is often the one right beside you. In return, he offers enthusiastic greetings, contented purrs, belly rub requests and all the classic tuxedo gorgeousness you could wish for. Phoenix is dressed for the occasion and ready to make himself at home in your heart!

Teddy has been adopted.
INTRODUCING TEDDY!

There’s something very special about Teddy.

With his big, golden-chestnut eyes, incredibly soft nature, and the sweetest little face, Teddy is a gentle soul who is discovering that life can be full of love, comfort, and kindness.

Teddy was found at a construction site, and he was was considered a pest. We believe he once had a home of his own, and when he befriended a rescuer, she could see a soft light still shining in his eyes, and now, in his foster home, that little light in Teddy is shining brighter every day.

Teddy is an absolute sweetheart. He loves head rubs and bum scratches, and when he’s really enjoying them, his purr becomes so loud it almost sounds like a tiny motor! He’ll greet you in the morning for a healthy dose of cuddles then find a sunny patch of floor and stretch himself out for a long, blissful nap. His favourite place is somewhere close to his people and the other cats in the house, where he can quietly feel part of the family.

He has recently discovered that toys can be fun, too. A feather wand is starting to bring out his playful side, and every now and then he gets wonderfully excited about it, wiggling his body and rolling around like echoes from his kittenhood.

Teddy is incredibly gentle and friendly with the other cats in his foster home. He’s also learning all about the comforts of indoor life. He has a little soft, round white mat that he absolutely adores kneading. Put it on the bed? He’ll knead it there. Put it on the loungeroom floor? Same thing. It can only be described as heart-warming to see him get such comfort from his little pad.

And then there are his funny little quirks. When something catches his attention, Teddy will stand up on his hind legs and peer out the window like a tiny meerkat, determined to investigate whatever is happening outside. He also LOVES chicken. Watching him scoop it up into his mouth and savour every bite is guaranteed to make you smile, because he looks like an adorable little goofball while doing it.

At 5 years old, Teddy is instantly friendly, and with a few head rubs, a good bum scratch, and perhaps a little piece of chicken, you’ll quickly find yourself becoming his best friend. Teddy needs a soft, quiet family who will give him the time to continue blossoming, and in return you will discover a love that is real and overflowing.

Teddy is ready to be someone’s little teddy bear.

Please note that Teddy will need to be an inside cat for safety due to his fair skin. Cats and kittens with light noses and/or ears are more susceptible to getting sunburnt, and in turn, developing skin cancer.

Teddy's adoption fee is $100.

All AWL NSW kittens and cats come litter trained, desexed, microchipped, and will have received their first vaccination.
