🌟 Introducing Twinkle 🌟
Meet Twinkle, The Sweet Spark of Joy
Twinkle is a playful and affectionate little girl with a sparkle in her eye and a bounce in her step. She’s always chasing toys, batting at strings, or wrestling with her siblings—but once playtime’s over, she’ll curl up for a nap and gentle cuddles.
Twinkle is cheeky and full of personality. She loves being around people and would do well in a home where she gets plenty of attention and stimulation. She’s a classic kitten: curious, energetic, and always ready to make you laugh.
✨ Personality: Playful, affectionate, cheeky, and people-loving.
✨ Best for: Households that enjoy interactive pets and want a kitten with lots of character.

🚨 Shadow SAFE Karratha Branch operations - possibility to get paid doing something you l💙ve🚨
Explore the Role - Discover the Fit - Make a Difference
Are you passionate about animal welfare, community connection and leading with heart? SAFE Karratha is offering a unique opportunity to shadow our Branch operations and experience the inner workings of one of WA’s most impactful animal rescue teams , with the potential for full-time paid employment for the right person.
This is more than a volunteer role. It’s a chance to:
🐾 Step behind the scenes of a busy, rewarding foster-based rescue
🐾 Learn hands-on how we coordinate adoptions, manage animal care, support our team and keep things moving
🐾 See if this leadership role is something you can grow into , and if you’re the right person, we’ll talk full-time paid employment
We’re looking for someone who:
✔️ Is a true team player who can collaborate with a mix of volunteers, carers and supporters
✔️ Aligns with SAFE’s mission and values — passion, care, commitment and respect
✔️ Leads with compassion, while being able to make clear and sometimes difficult decisions (with full support from the broader SAFE team)
✔️ Is organised, reliable and ready to step up
✔️ Communicates clearly and professionally

SAFE doesn’t have shelters — our rescue work relies on foster families, volunteers and strong local leadership. As Branch Coordinator, you would become the heartbeat of our Karratha branch. This is your chance to try the role on for size and see if it’s a fit for you, and for us.
Meet Effie (female, 4 months) and Trent (male, 7 months). These two sweet cats are currently in care together but can also be fostered separately. They need to move into foster homes ASAP!
If you’re able to provide a loving temporary home for Effie or Trent, please get in touch with SAFE Karratha as soon as possible.

Ezra is a gorgeous, gentle soul with a unique two-tone coat and a heart full of love. He’s energetic yet calm, adores kids, gets along with other dogs, and thrives on human connection.
An inside dog who loves cuddles, Ezra is learning basic commands, walks nicely on a lead, and knows his name. He travels well in the car 🚗 (usually snoozing), sleeps soundly at night, and isn’t one for barking or digging.
Ezra enjoys tug-of-war, toys, and surprisingly—fruit and salad 🥗! He’s food-motivated, affectionate, and just needs a little patience as he continues to learn.
If you’re looking for a loyal, loving companion, Ezra’s your pup. Apply to adopt him today and give him the home he deserves ❤️
