Adoptions


 

HOW ADOPTIONS WORK

All of our cats are:

  • desexed
  • microchipped
  • had their initial vaccination
  • wormed and flea treated.

We do a 21 day trial period with every adoption, so if it does not work out we will require that the Cat or Kitten is returned to us and you will receive the adoption fee refunded – minus a $50 admnin fee.

You can check our cats for adoption below and on our Facebook Page. There are delays with uploading our cats – this means cats shown here might already be adopted or cats that have become available are not shown here.

Once you’ve spotted your potential fur-ever friend, send us a Facebook message.

We will get back to you (usually within one or two days) and discuss next steps.


FELINES LOOKING FOR A LOVING HOME


ELLA

About Ella

From her foster mum: “Ella has come such a long way from the shy little kitten that came to me over 2 months ago (Jul 25)! She has turned into a snuggly, confident and loud little girl. She loves to be around her people and will follow you into every room, she loves to sit and watch whilst you’re doing things and will often just sit there purring.

Ella is around 6 months old (Jul 25).

 

Suitable for

She is still cautious if you are standing up around her and much prefers you to be down on her level. She will likely take a few weeks to warm up to you but once she does you will have a little shadow. She is tested around cats and absolutely loves them! She has also been tested around dogs and would do well with a slow introduction to cat friendly dogs.”

 

Adoption Details

The are located in foster care in the South. Please contact us now if you would like to meet her.

INKY

About Inky

This boy is so so sweet! All he wants is a home with people who love him and will give him lots of pats and hugs and attention ???? 3 Years old (Jul 25). He’s had a couple of failed “foster to adopt” homes and through no fault of his own, has been returned ???? so we really want to make sure whoever adopts him is going to be his forever home ????

 

Suitable for

He would prefer a home as the only cat so all loving goes directly to him, but he would likely be ok sharing with another friendly cat too. He has lived with a dog and tolerated it ???? but he’d probably prefer a home without one ???? He is fine with older children (10yo +).

• Desexed • Microchipped • Vaccinated

Adoption Details

The are located in our Penna Shelter. Please contact us now if you would like to meet him.

CHECKERS & XENA

About Checkers & Xena

Just look at these two adorable tabbies!!! ???? Checkers and Xena are the best of friends and are looking for a forever home together ???? Checkers is such a character! To say he’s a fan favourite amongst the volunteers would be an understatement ???? He’s always happy to have a chat and seems to be one of those cats that really enjoys interacting with humans, and whilst we’re very confident that he’s never been in a home, he’s such a chill boy, we’re sure he will settle in beautifully quite quickly. Xena is very attached to Checkers, and they are generally curled up in bed together, often grooming each other ????

Checkers is 1 yo (JUL 25) Xena is 3 yo (JUL 25). Both are desexed, microchipped and vaccinated.

Suitable for

Xena is happy to be around humans and we can sneak some pats in whilst she’s eating, but she would benefit from some one on one time to get her more comfortable being a house cat, so we will need their future family to be understanding of this and give her time to settle in.

The are located in our Penna Shelter. Please contact us now if you would like to meet them.

HUEY & DEWEY

About Huey & Dewey

Their stats!! Age: 7 months. Sex: Both males. Colour: Tabby. From their amazing foster mum: “These boys have come such a long way since I started fostering them fresh out of a skip bin ???? They have gone from being tiny, skinny, terrified kittens to big and chunky cattins” Their sisters have found the best forever homes, so now hopefully it is their turn ???? They are best friends, they play together, sleep together, talk to each other in some strange cat language and they get into mischief together ???? So they would really love a home together! Double the love❤️

Suitable for

These boys are very nervous to meet new people, but once they realise you aren’t going to hurt them, they will come out of their hiding spot to check you out, especially if you have food…any food ???? They aren’t big fans of being picked up, but if you are bringing food for them, short cuddles are accepted and they will come to you to sit and snuggle ???? As much as they dislike being picked up, they’ve never scratched anyone and are very gentle and would be good with older children. Although nervous at first, it wasn’t long before they made very good friends with both of their foster family dogs so we’re sure they wouldn’t mind a home with friendly dogs or cats. They are such beautiful sweet boys and they really deserve the best home ever!”

Adoption Details

The boys are located in foster care in the South. Please contact us now if you would like to meet them.

WILLOW

About Willow

This little fluffy girl of approximately 6 months (May ’25) is so sweet and beautiful. She is a petite little lass who needs a quiet home (no young children) and a home where she will be given time to settle in as she has lived her entire life up until now as a colony cat with limited human interaction, so she’s a bit shy and needs to gain some confidence but she will blossom into a little love bug.

Suitable for

She would do extremely well in a home with other cats.

Adoption Details

Willow is located at the Penna Shelter. Please contact us now if you would like to meet her.

ALFIE

About Alfie

Meet Alfie – The Sweet & Sassy Sidekick!

Alfie is a charming little shadow who loves to follow his humans around, soaking up pats and purring like a motor. But don’t be fooled—this independent boy enjoys his space too and isn’t afraid to show his moody side! He’s the perfect companion for a working couple, as he’s content to lounge around during the day and comes alive for playtime every afternoon. At night, he loves to curl up in bed with his people, making sure they feel his warmth (and maybe claim a little extra space). Alfie is a foodie at heart—though he has refined tastes! He’s around 1-2 years old (May ’25).

Suitable for

He prefers to be the only cat in the home and isn’t suited for kids, but for the right humans, he’ll be the most loving (and slightly dramatic) little buddy.

Adoption Details

Alfie is located in foster care in the south.. Please contact us now if you would like to meet him.

 Little Elsa (tabby and white) is a sweet and affectionate girl who enjoys (and demands) head kisses and cuddles.

Suitable for

SPROUT

About Sprout

???????? S P R O U T  ????????
Sprout (6-month-old as of Jul 25) was trapped at the Port Arthur Historic Site with his two siblings who have since found homes – Sprout is still waiting. This is what his amazing foster mum has to say about him:
Sprout is the adventure-seeking sibling. While prone to getting himself into mischief, when he stops flying around the room, Sprout (top) settles down and appreciates receiving some attention and a scratch. Like his brother, Sprout has a strong purring motor, even when he’s just watching his humans do things.

Suitable for

???? Sprout is untested around other cats and dogs, and is expected to be fine with children (albeit likely timid to start off with).

Not ready to adopt?

SPONSOR OUR SANCTUARY CATS

Why we need your help

Sanctuary cats are rescues that are often abandoned or have been born in an environment without human contact, they are very timid and some are very afraid of people. Some will eventually trust enough to accept pats from people they know, but generally these cats will not be adoptable due to their extreme shyness. We need your help to continue provide regular veterinary health checks/vaccinations, food, litter other supplies as we don’t receive any funding and rely solely on donations.

What can you do to help?

From just $20 a month, you can sponsor one of our beautiful Sanctuary Cats!

You will receive an email every three months with an update on your cat and some lovely new photos.
