Who remembers Poppy? Think fabulous ears.

Now you remember! ❤️

Poppy arrived late one evening as a stowaway on the freedom bus. We had never even seen her picture, but we are so glad she hitched a ride!

We searched high and low for Poppy’s people. She even enjoyed a little tree change, trying her paw at country living while she waited for her perfect match.

And then it happened. Bernadette spotted her profile and got in touch. The rest, as they say, is history.

Some waits are just so worth it, and Poppy’s was certainly one of them.

Our girl is now living the dream on acreage with her new pawrents.

A very special thank you to Bernadette for seeing something special in Poppy and opening your heart and home to her.

Happy Tails, Poppy! ❤️🐾

Hi Villagers!

We can only assume the internet is broken because how has our beautiful baby Fern not received a single enquiry?!

Not one. Nothing. Nada!

Surely someone out there is looking for their new bestie?

💕 Absolute sweetheart
🐾 Dog friendly (would love a doggy sibling)
👧 Child friendly (with older kids she’s met)
🐱 Cat friendly
🥰 Professional snuggle buddy
🌿 Always up for an adventure!

At around 4.5 months old and weighing in at 10kg, Fern is expected to grow into a lovely medium-sized girl.

She's at that age where she's ready to explore the world, learn new things, make memories and, of course, collect all the cuddles along the way.

Anyone say adventure? Fern is ALL IN! 🌿🐾

We really don't understand how this gorgeous girl hasn't caught anyone's eye yet as she is perfection on 4 legs!

Could Fern be your new best friend?

Please share and help us get this little sweetheart noticed. ❤️

🎃👻 Trick or treat, Villagers! 🧡

Some of our residents are getting into the Halloween spirit with a little dress-up fun!

We’re pretty sure if Meelo, Fern or Chloe came knocking at your door, they’d be guaranteed a treat (or 10 😂).

Are your pets getting into the spooky spirit? We’d love to see them!

🐾 Drop your Halloween photos in the comments below. Let’s see those spooky little superstars! 🎃🧡

🆘LUCY NEEDS YOU🆘

Happy Friday, Villagers! ☀️

After a wild week of weather, we’re certainly happy to see some sunshine!
Our beautiful Lucy is enjoying it too, happily watching the outside world from her favourite windowsill and enjoying the sunshine and birds rather than grey skies and rain.

But Lucy needs something much more important than a sunny spot to watch the world go by. She needs a foster carer or, even better, her forever home.

Her foster mum is moving, which means Lucy will soon have nowhere to go. After everything this girl has already been through, we desperately want to find her next chapter.

Lucy hasn't had the easiest start, so she'll need a little time and patience to settle in. But with a calm home and a predictable routine, she's discovering just how lovely cuddles and affection can be. On her terms, of course! ❤️

All Lucy really wants is a safe place to call home, someone to love and a forever windowsill to watch the world go by. Lucy will only be adopted as an indoor cat to keep her safe.

Can you be Lucy's person?

Please get in touch if you can offer this beautiful girl a place to land. We need you, and Lucy really needs you.

Let's find her people🐾

Hi folks 💙

Who remembers our assorted cattle mix trio, Caleb, Ernie and Diesel? 🐾
Well, we have a little update for you!

Caleb’s pawrents, who have since renamed him Zak, recently got in touch and shared some absolutely beautiful photos of their boy all grown up. Of course, we couldn’t keep all this cuteness to ourselves!

Zak is described as being the best boy (which we have absolutely no trouble believing) and just look at him with his gorgeous ginger kitty sibling! 😍🐶🐱
And there might even be a reunion on the cards, with talk of a potential meet-up with his brothers! ❤️

You know we’ll be keeping our fingers crossed for that one, and if it happens, we’ll be sure to share the photos with you all.

Happy tails, Zak! We love seeing our former villagers living their very best lives. 💙

Hi Villagers!

We’re thrilled to introduce some new faces who will be boarding the freedom bus in just over 2 weeks’ time! 🐶

For these dogs, it’s the beginning of a whole new chapter. ❤️

And none of it would be possible without our amazing carers who have put their hands up and said YES!

That one yes changes everything. It means a safe place to land, a chance to feel loved and, most importantly, a tomorrow. 🥹🐾

To our incredible carers, thank you for being the reason these dogs get their chance.

You may not realise just how much your yes means, but we do. And so do the dogs whose lives you’re about to change.

💔 553 DAYS. HOW HAS NOBODY CHOSEN OUR BAMBI YET? 💔

We really need your help with this one. Our beautiful Bambi has been in care for 553 days. That’s 553 days of waiting for someone to look at her face and say, “That’s my girl!” 🥹❤️

Thankfully, Bambi is living her best foster life and has no idea that her forever person hasn’t found her yet. But we know they’re out there somewhere, and we desperately want to find them.

Bambi has lived happily with another cat and as a solo kitty, so she could fit into a variety of homes. She might need a little time and patience to settle into a new environment, but once she feels safe, she’ll start seeking out her person for pats and letting her truly magical personality shine. ✨

She’s worth taking that little bit of extra time for, and we just know someone out there will be so glad they did.

💔 There’s another reason we’re especially desperate to find Bambi her family. Her wonderful carer will be going away soon, so we really need to find Bambi a home where she can finally unpack her bags and stay forever.

🙏 If you do just ONE thing today, please SHARE Bambi.

You never know who might see her face and realise she’s the missing piece of their family. One share could change everything for our girl.

Her bio is linked below, so please read, share, tag your cat-loving friends and help us find the person who will finally say…

❤️ “That’s MY girl!”

Let's get Bambi HOME. 🏡🐾

LUCY IS READY AND WAITING FOR HER FOREVER HOME!

Meet Lucy!

A beautiful girl with stunning eyes, the softest fur imaginable (honestly, it’s like patting butter!) and a personality that’s starting to shine now that she’s feeling safe.

Lucy isn’t one to trust just anyone straight away, but give her a little time and patience, and you’ll see what a gorgeous girl she really is.

Her foster mum has been getting to know Lucy over the past couple of weeks, and the little things she’s discovering are just lovely.

Lucy is turning out to be a cuddle loving lap cat who enjoys being close to her favourite human. And when playtime rolls around, this girl is all business. She’s playful and full of character!

Lucy needs a home where she can take her time, get comfortable and learn that she’s finally somewhere she belongs. Someone who won’t expect instant cuddles, but will feel pretty special when she chooses to give them.

Lucy has so much love to offer once she feels safe enough to show it. She just needs someone willing to give her that chance.

Ready to meet your new little shadow?
Read Lucy’s bio and apply to adopt�https://www.petrescue.com.au/listings/1218006

Please share Lucy’s post. Her perfect match is out there somewhere, and we’d love to help them find each other! 💕

Who’s been wondering why we haven’t seen our handsome Reggie around the Village lately?

Well, that’s because this clever boy has been busy settling into his new home with his mum! 🏡🥰

Reggie is absolutely beautiful, inside and out, and his next adventure is about to begin! He’s enrolling in training, with his introductory session happening this weekend.

Good luck, Reggie! 🍀 We have a feeling you’re going to be a very good student… although, knowing how smart you are, you’ll probably be running the training sessions before long! 😂🎓🐶

A huge thank you to Kestrel for choosing adoption and giving this special boy his very own happy ever after. ❤️

And of course, we couldn’t have got Reggie here without the wonderful people who supported him along the way. Thank you to Nathan and Rachel, and Liz and Brett, for opening your homes and hearts to him throughout his foster journey. It takes a village, and Reggie has certainly had some special villagers in his corner. 💕

Happy tails, Reggie! We’re so happy you’ve found your person, and we can’t wait to hear all about your adventures (and those training sessions!). 🐾❤️🏡
