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 Ava

Wow what a difference a loving foster home makes to these sad shelter cats. Ava had been living at the cattery for 2 years until her wonderful foster mum took her on and has forever changed Ava’s life This is what she has to say about her:

Ava, AKA Baby Princess Ballerina Angel Ava, is an inquisitive girl who needs a loving home to call her own. She has been with us for two months now (JUL 26), and has really started to show her sassy personality. She spent the first few weeks hiding under her bed, but now she watches the world out the window and trots over to us when we say hello.

Ava has a couple of hilarious quirks that make her unique and special. Firstly, she stretches her back legs by pointing her toes out behind her like a ballerina! Secondly, she will wait for you on the bed to come and join her for cuddles after dinner every night. And thirdly, she only has half a tail! It appears she was born this way.

Ava loves pats and with a little bit of love and patience, we are sure she will thrive wherever she finally gets to call her forever home.
Ava is approx 3.5 years old (JUL 26) 
Ava only has half a tail
Inside only home

Suitable for

Ava will need a special home with very patient owners. She is quite timid around new people and appreciates her space, so if she were to go to a home with small children they would need to be very gentle with her. Because of her little tail, she can’t wave it around to show when she wants to be left alone, so she needs someone who really listens to her. Ava would get along well with another friendly cat to keep her company throughout the day. We aren’t sure how she is with dogs.

Great around other cats and ideally would do best with a cat friend
Best suited to a home without young children

Adoption Details

Ava is in foster care in the south. Please contact us now if you would like to meet her. You can view our adoption fees on our website.

About Zoe & Bambi

These super inquisitive and playful girls have gone from living the rough life at a caravan park into the warmest foster home and wow have they just blossomed.

Zoe is a super smoochy, playful girl that wants to be around you as much as possible, she loves crawling under the covers for a cuddle. It doesn’t take long for her to warm up to new people and she is happy to follow you around the house.

Bambi is the shy one of the pair, she has lots of love to give once she has warmed up after slow/quiet introductions, she loves to give licks and kisses. Bambi has to be won over using treats if you want her to follow you around! They are currently growing their confidence around dogs and would be best with a nice calm dog – instead of our crazy puppies! these sisters a very bonded and must be homed together with a special adoption fee.

Both girls are 6 months old (June 2026)

About Iva

Gorgeous sweet Iva (the black cat in the photo) is in need of a loving home and a new friend.

She sadly lost her companion Picasso (also pictured) a few weeks ago, and she is devastated they were the best of friends and although she still gets along with the other cats in the cattery she deserves a forever home, a family to adore her as much as our volunteers do.

She is timid at first but such a sweet cat, she loves love and is very affectionate once she settles. Iva is 9 years old

Suitable for

Iva adores other cats so a home with another friendly cat or 2 would be ideal
