Shelly's Place - Animal Rescue

A place where stray & abandoned cats feel safe and loved. Designated rehoming organisation R251000254 How you can help:

- Share our posts!

Shelly's Place Animal Rescue is a small group of volunteers dedicated to the rescue of domestic animals in Sydney. We rely on the generosity and support of the public to continue our life saving work. The more people who see our posts of beautiful, adoptable cats and kittens, the wider the pool of potential adopters and the greater their chances of finding their forever homes.

- Adopt! You can complete an adoption enquiry form to adopt an animal you have seen, or join a waitlist for your purrfect match. https://form.jotform.com/shellys.place.rescue/adoption-enquiry

- Foster! If you can't commit to a cat permanently, why not foster? We always need new families to help, who are ready to take in a cat or kitten at a moment's notice. If you have a bathroom, you can foster! Enquire here --> https://form.jotform.com/shellys.place.rescue/foster-enquiry-

- Donate! The adoption fee we charge does not cover the vet work for these babies, let along the costs involved in taking care of sick and injured animals too. Please give what you can so we can continue to help the animals in our care. https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=FCHTCKGR6QG26

ADOPTED!

❤️ Meet Moji! ❤️

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 This special girl is a Scottish Fold and was surrendered to the rescue because her owner is moving overseas.

😠 She has a grumpy cat face, but she’s not grumpy at all! She’s really sweet!

🥰 She loves to come for a cuddle and will show how much she loves you by licking your fingers. It’s important to her that her humans are nice and clean!

🐈‍⬛ She’s fostered in a home with lots of other cats, and her original home also had lots of cats, but we think she’d be fine on her own. She likes to graze on her food and at the moment she comes back to her bowl and the other cats have eaten it all! Although she’d happily live solely on treats.

😎 She’s a pretty chill cat and would be fine in any home really. If she’s bothered by something she just takes herself off to her bad and has a snooze.

🩺 Note: when we had Moji examined by a vet they said she had a grade 3 heart murmur. It doesn’t seem to be giving her any trouble. She’s just happy chillaxing and living her life. She also had a teeth clean because she had a bit of tartar build up, so her teeth are lovely now.

Location: Botany, NSW
Age: 6 years
Adoption fee: $325

ADOPTED! 🖤🤍 Meet Oreo! 🖤🤍

This gorgeous little girl was handed in at one of our vets with her mum and siblings. They’ve all been adopted but she’s still waiting to find her home.

It’s probably because she can be a bit shy and takes some time to adjust to new people and places. But once she knows you and trusts you she’s an absolute lap cat. She occasionally incapacitates her foster carer because everyone knows the rule is that once a cat is on your lap, you can’t move.

When she’s not sitting on laps, Oreo loves to play with her toys and play with the other foster cats in her foster home. She loves other cats and loves hanging out with them.

She would suit a quieter home with one or two people she can bond with.

Location: Darling Point, NSW
Age: 13 weeks
Adoption fee: $325
MC: 991003003398552

Oreo is desexed, 1st vaccinated, microchipped, lifetime registered and flea and worm treated.

🖤🤍 Sooty and Joe are looking for a new home together. 🤍🖤

These guys love each other but they don’t really love some of the other resident cats in their household so they’re looking for a quiet home where they can just be together on their own.

Sooty - the Ragdoll - is a total character. He’s very chatty and loves his belly rubs. He loves hanging out with his humans and hates being on the other side of a closed door from his people. He will complain about it loudly!

Joe can be wary of new people but will follow Sooty’s lead. Once he loves you he’s the absolute snuggliest! He loves playing with his toys and “ekekek”ing at birds out the window.

They love hanging out together and playing chasies.

These guys would suit a quiet household rather than a noisy family. But they’re a beautiful instant cat family and they’ll always have each other for company if their human or humans are away at work.

Sooty and Joe are both desexed, vaccinated, microchipped, lifetime registered and flea and worm treated.

Apply to adopt Sooty and Joe at https://form.jotform.com/shellys.place.rescue/adoption-enquiry

Location: Croydon, NSW
Age: Sooty - 4 years, Joe - 1.5 years
Adoption fee: $300 for the pair

🤷‍♀️ Can anyone spot what these gorgeous cats all have in common?

✅ They’ve all been with the rescue since they were kittens 😢 Now they’re big girls!

✅ They all love a pat and a snuggle (except maybe the snuggle part for Hattie but she’s getting there - you can snuggle with her sister Beanie. They come as a pair!)

✅ They all need to find their forever homes.

And of course, they’re all either black or black and white.

⁉️ Did you know that black and white cats are almost always the last to be adopted at a rescue? It doesn’t matter how lovely they are, they get judged on the colour of their fur. It’s really not fair.

❔How can you help? When chosing your perfect cat, focus on their personality and not their fur. Adopt an adult black and white cat who are always the last to go from a shelter. You’ll love them just as much as a ginger or a calico we promise!

If you’d like to adopt any of these girls, please apply at https://form.jotform.com/shellys.place.rescue/adoption-enquiry

Note that Beanie and Hattie can only be adopted as pair.

All Shelly’s Place animals come desexed, 1st vaccinated, microchipped, lifetime registered and flea and worm treated.

Adoption fee: $100 for an adult
Location: Cookie- Waverley, NSW, Beanie and Hattie- Botany, NSW, Nikki - Seven Hills, NSW
Age: all at or less than 1 year old

🤷‍♀️ Can you believe Mochi and Chai are still waiting for their forever home?! They’ve been with the rescue since May! It’s a long time for babies to be waiting.

❤️ These beautiful boys love a cuddle as much as they love each other. They love curling up next to their foster carers on the couch to watch TV.

🧶 They love play time and will make happy chirping noises if they think you’re heading to their toys to play with them.

🦜 They love watching the birds out the window. They’d be fine to be at home by themselves if their human is out at work. They have each other and can entertain themselves.

These guys are hanging out in Balmain waiting for their new human to arrive. Could these be the boys for you?

Age: 11 months
Location: Balmain, NSW
Adoption fee: $200 for the pair
MCs: 900164002366465, 900164002341364

The boys are desexed, 1st vaccinated, microchipped, lifetime registered and flea and worm treated.

Meet gorgeous Toby!!

We’re helping Toby’s owners find him a new home because he’s not getting along with the resident cat. He loves people! Other cats not so much.

😎 Toby is an easy going guy. He just likes to hang with his humans and get belly rubs. He’s easy to please.

👶 He’s absolutely fine with kids too as long as they’re not too grabby. And if they are he’ll just calmly take himself off somewhere safe.

💻 He’s an excellent work from home buddy. He likes sitting on both laps and laptops, or snuggling up next you on the chair.

🧶 He loves playing with his toys. He’s still very young!

Toby is desexed, microchipped, vaccinated and lifetime registered.

Beautiful Cookie is still waiting for her forever home. 😢 She’s been with the rescue since she was a little kitten and has grown up in foster care. She deserves a forever home!

Cookie is the absolute sweetest. She loves a snuggle and a pat. She settles into new environments really easily and is fine with pretty much anything.

She is fostered alone at the moment in a quiet house but was previously fostered in a house with lots of kids and noise and other cats and she was perfectly fine with either. Whatever your circumstances, she’ll fit right in!

You can’t see it from this photo but she has the most magnificent fluffy tail. She’s absolutely stunning.

We guarantee you will fall in love with her so easily! She just needs someone to give her a chance!

Age: 10 months
Location: Waverley, NSW
Adoption fee: $100
MC: 900164002393883

Cookie is desexed, vaccinated, microchipped, lifetime registered and flea and worm treated.
