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.

About Mickey & Minnie

These 5 month old siblings (APR 25) are now ready for adoption Mickey, the handsome tabby and white boy is the more confident of the two…once he’s comfortable, he enjoys having a play and a snuggle, whilst beautiful little grey and white Minnie is a bit more reserved and takes longer to warm up to people. Both are very sweet kittens and enjoy cuddles and are little purring machines.

Suitable for

They are best suited to a home with older children/adults, and have been in foster care with a small dog.

Adoption Details

Mickey and Minnie are located in foster care in the south. Please contact us now if you would like to meet them.

We are looking for a home for them together and are happy to discount their adoption fee. You can view our adoption fees on our website.

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.

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.

About Oakley, Yelena and Elsa

“O A K L E Y” “Y E L E N A” “E L S A”

These beautiful siblings of around 5 months of age (May ’25) have blossomed beautifully in their foster home over the past few weeks and are now on the search for their forever families. Little Elsa (tabby and white) is a sweet and affectionate girl who enjoys (and demands) head kisses and cuddles. Yelena (greyer coloured tabby) is the most reserved of the three and would do best in a home with one of her siblings. She too enjoys a snuggle but she just doesn’t want to admit it to the world yet. And last but not least, is Oakley. Boy did he surprise us! He went from a growly, aeroplane eared boy at the shelter to a happy and delightful young man within 24 hours in his amazing foster home we can only imagine how incredible he will be in his forever home with even more time to gain confidence.

Suitable for

All three love to play, love to be bribed with creamy treats and have been exposed to older children and adults and a gorgeous, bouncy puppy and an older, beautiful large dog. They would do best in a home with a similar environment (no young children).

Adoption Details

These guys are is located in foster care in the south. Please contact us now if you would like to meet them.

About Bean, Sprout & Alfalfa

B E A N, S P R O U T & A L F A L F A

These three 4-month-old siblings (APR 25) were trapped at the Port Arthur Historic Site and are now looking for their forever homes  . This is what their amazing foster mum has to say about them:

“Bean (bottom left) is the classic eldest sibling, with his brother and sister always following his lead. He was the first to start trusting humans, and has now become an affectionate, loving and sweet young lad. He loves attention and starts purring as soon as he’s around his humans, enjoys a scratch and pat, and likes to play. However, the real key to Bean’s heart is food – Bean will give any adult cat a run for its money and has never met food he doesn’t like.

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.

Alfalfa (bottom right) is the sassy sister of this trio. She enjoys playing and wrestling with her brothers, and becomes very vocal when it’s food time. While Alfalfa is still young and getting used to humans, so far she is a more independent cat than her brothers, and will happily mind her own business for 23 hours of the day. Alfalfa will tolerate some chin scratches on occasion, but will be sure to let you know when she’s had enough.

Suitable for

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

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

 Alfalfa would best suit a home with humans who will let her come out of her shell at her own pace, and are happy with an independent, assertive cat. Alfalfa is untested around other cats and dogs, and is unlikely to tolerate young children.”

Adoption Details

This family is located in foster care in the south. Please contact us now if you would like to meet them.

About Pepper

P E P P E R

This beautiful 7yo torti girl (May ’25) had a really horrible few weeks before arriving to us. Her elderly mum passed away which left poor Pepper distressed and homeless but the worst was yet to come, she was taken to the vet for euthanasia as a home couldn’t be found for her. Luckily, the vet was able to organise for her to be surrendered to them instead, and they then asked us to take her and find her a new home. So this absolute sweetheart is now in our care and after an initial few days being very unsettled and not enjoying the company of the other cats in her vicinity, she has really come out of her shell and shown herself to be a really sweet and affectionate lass who enjoys lots of pats, cuddles and a lap to snuggle into.

Suitable for

She is best suited to a home without another dog or cat as she’s not familiar with either.

Adoption Details

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

About Frankie

About Juni

This absolutely beautiful girl is now 12 months old (Feb 2025) and has spent the past 7 months waiting for her forever home.
