PUGSLEY AND FOREST - TO BE ADOPTED TOGETHER
Pugsley is a super handsome dude with a charming personality. He is an amazing snuggler and biscuit maker. Although he is shy to begin with, he is an attention seeker once he knows you love him. He is best suited in a quieter household or with older children. “Brother” Forest is a gorgeous wee man that is very placid and sweet. He can be a bit shy but loves cuddles once he trusts you and has the greatest purr. Best suited to a home with older children. We would love if these two boys could be adopted together as they have formed a beautiful little friendship.
Adoption Fee: $300 for the pair

MEET JASMIN! SHE IS IDEALLY LOOKING FOR A FOREVER HOME OR A FOSTER HOME, POTENTIALLY WITH VIEW TO ADOPT
Jasmin was found abandoned in a box with her brother when she was about 4–5 months old. Her brother was friendly from the start, but Jasmin was terrified and wanted nothing to do with humans.
We gave her all the time and patience she needed, with no expectation that she’d ever change. It took about two years, and for a long while it looked like it might never happen. But much to our surprise and delight, she slowly started to mellow. Now 4 years old, she craves human attention.
Jasmin loves a cuddle and any kind of loving attention. Walk past her while she’s on the cat stand and she’ll reach out and grab your attention, pretty much literally! She puts her paw out to touch your arm as if to say, “Hey, I need some loving.” It’s very cute, though her claws can catch you (never aggressively). We think that in a home, with more one-on-one attention, she won’t feel the need to ask quite so insistently.
She’s a small girl with the most gorgeous eyes. Her photo doesn’t do her justice! She gets on well with other cats too, so if you’re keen to take on two, have a look at Maleficent’s post as well.
Jasmin has been living in a shelter rather than a home, so we’d love to see how she gets on in a foster-to-adopt arrangement. She’s very comfortable with us, but a move will be scary for her and she may go backwards for a while before she settles. A home with plenty of time and patience is essential.
Ideal home:
• Indoor only, or indoor with a catio
• Quiet household
• No small children
• Patience while she settles in
If it doesn’t work out, we’re always happy to take her back. She has stolen a piece of our hearts.

ROSIE IS LOOKING FOR HER BEST MATE!
Meet Rosie, a sweet and affectionate little girl who is ready for her forever home.
She has made an incredible journey from a street-smart survivor to an affectionate, house-trained and devoted companion.
Rosie had a tough start to life, spending time out on the streets, so she can still be a little shy around strangers and loud noises. But she has come such a long way in her foster home and is blossoming into a confident, loving companion.
These days, she is quite the Domestic Goddess — she has settled into indoor life beautifully and is ready for her next chapter.
Rosie loves company and will happily follow you around the house, keeping you updated with plenty of little chats as you go about your day. If you are looking for a feline companion who wants to be involved in whatever you are doing, Rosie is your girl!
She is really looking for a mate to share life with - someone who will appreciate her sweet nature, respect her gentle personality and give her the time she needs to settle in.
Rosie has been fostered in an apartment setting with no other pets or children, so we are unsure as to how she will get along with other family members.
If you think Rosie might be the girl for you, this loving little soul is keen to meet you.

Double the Love: Meet Lucy & Fern!
TO BE ADOPTED TOGETHER
These two girls have been in our care for going on two years with almost no interest since they've been ready to find their family... will they finally get their forever home and will that be with you?!
Lucy and Fern are a beautiful bonded pair looking for a quiet, calm forever home where they can blossom at their own pace. These two timid sweethearts have made incredible progress in foster care, and their wonderful, unique personalities are truly beginning to shine. They need a patient, predictable environment with no children or loud noises. They love to snuggle and have 'zoomies' together, so they must be adopted as a pair. Both are affectionate on their own terms—they may not jump on the couch just yet, but they welcome attention if you come to them!
Lucy (affectionately known as 'Goose') has an array of comical facial expressions that will constantly make you smile. She loves sunbathing, independent play, and watching birds from the window. Once she feels safe, she turns on a deep purr and loves tummy rubs. She’ll even playfully nudge her way in for cuddles if she sees Fern getting attention!
Fern is a highly intelligent, curious, and vocal girl who thrives on routine. She will happily sit on your bedside table to remind you it’s breakfast time! She loves finding cozy new nooks to curl up in, gives sweet head bunts and when relaxed, has grown confident enough to open up for her own tummy rubs.
Lucy and Fern have completely stolen their foster family's hearts. They just need a gentle, understanding adopter who appreciates the rewarding journey of earning a timid cat's trust. If you have the love, time, and patience to allow them to let down their guard and become their true selves, you will be rewarded with a loving pair of housemates.

MEET MALEFICENT! SHE IS LOOKING FOR A FOREVER HOME OR A FOSTER HOME, POTENTIALLY WITH VIEW TO ADOPT
Maleficent and her kittens were spotted on a construction site three years ago. Her exact age is unknown, but we think she’s around 4–5 years old. Her kittens tamed up beautifully and found homes quickly. Maleficent, on the other hand, hated us. She’d hiss and lash out, so we gave her a wide berth, but we kept talking to her and offering treats.
We never pushed her or expected her to change. Then, after a good couple of years, she slowly started to soften. Now she can’t get enough attention.
If you walk past while she’s on the cat stand, expect a paw on your arm and a look that says, “Excuse me, you forgot to pat me.” Her claws can catch you sometimes (never aggressively), but we think she’ll ask less insistently once she’s getting plenty of one-on-one love in a home. Give her a chin rub and she’ll thank you by licking your hand. It’s the bath you didn’t know you needed.
She’s a pretty, fluffy girl, and her photo doesn’t do her justice! She gets on well with other cats, and she and Jasmin have taken similar journeys. If you’re keen to take on two, check out Jasmin’s post too.
Maleficent has been living in a shelter rather than a home, so we’d love to try a foster-to-adopt arrangement. She trusts us now, but a new home will feel scary at first and she may take a step or two backwards before she settles. Time and patience are a must.
Ideal home:
Indoor only, or indoor with a catio
Quiet household
No small children
Patience while she settles in
If things don’t work out, we’ll always take her back. She’s well and truly stolen a piece of our hearts.

TO BE ADOPTED WITH TUX
Wally is a lovely cat, giving anyone and everyone all the play in the world. He loves any toys on a stick or anything under a blanket. He warms up almost instantly, especially when Tux is around. He's not the best at being picked up, however I'm sure with time he will open up to it. He's lovely and soft and full of energy, loves chasing Tux around and meowing every time you enter the room just to have a nice chat. Wally would be a great cat for anyone wanting a spritely and talkative little kitten.

Approx 13 Years Old
Female
Minnie is a sweet older lady at around 13 years young. She arrived as a stray but has obviously been somebody’s beloved pet, as she is very comfortable indoors and around people.
She vocalises to let you know if she wants food (meows) or to play (a small yowl), and headbutts for affection. Her favourite toy is a ‘mouse’ on a string, and she keeps her foster parents busy chasing it up and down the hallway after breakfast.
Minnie hasn’t often leapt into a lap, but she’s becoming more inclined to lap-sit as the weather cools. She is affectionate and enjoys spending time with the humans in her foster home.
She’ll move out of range of a boisterous child, but she is happy to be petted by a gentle one. Scratches around the head and chin will have her purring ‘full noise’.
Minnie may be allergic to flea or mosquito bites, so exposure to them should be avoided where possible.
This lovely lady will make an excellent companion or someone wanting a mature cat who still loves to play.

TO BE ADOPTED WITH WALLY
Tux is oh so cute. While he is on the smaller side he has just as big of a heart. He loves cuddling on a lap as long as you are giving him attention and he will follow you around the room, wanting cuddles and begging for pets. He's happy to be picked up after a bit of familiarity. Tux doesnt play so much as Wally but he is always interested in observing Wally when he does. Tux will make a great house cat after becoming familiar with you and will eventually start to show his silly little tendencies like running into windows and jumping from the highest part of his tower onto a bean bag.
