Yesterday I had the heartbreaking decision to say goodbye to my beautiful cat Cherie 💔
Cherie had aged in the last 2 weeks and when she lost interest in her food which she always enjoyed, plus became disoriented using her litter tray and became very confused I knew it was her time.
Cherie blessed us with 18 and a half years, I can honestly say she was one of the best, so affectionate, calm and my bestie ❤️
From the day I chose her or did she choose me I was so blessed to have her as my cat. She grew up with Tess and Sox and took on any dog we cared for in our homes and always let them know who was boss. Always beside me on the lounge and always letting me know it was cuddle time in bed in the mornings and at bedtime. When Tess passed and we knew our house needed some extra energy and I brought home Pedro it was never love at first sight but these 2 managed to live in pretty good harmony considering their age difference of 14 years.
Cherie always let Pedro know who was boss tho' and was quick to him a left or right hook if he caused her any grief. He soon learned not to mess with the boss cat lol.They were like Yin and Yang, one young, one old, one black, one white, one naughty, one good 🤣 one male, one female but the 2 of them made my house a home ❤️
The house feels different today. A part of our hearts is missing and it will take some time for our lives to feel 'right' again.
Having a pet even for a short time it's heartbreaking when they leave,having my Cherie for 18 & 1/2 years ,she will be forever 'my love' and missed eternally.
Am truly grateful to Dr Josie at Pt Clare vets whose caring words with Cherie and I yesterday made her passing a very peaceful one. Cherie will now be with our Tess, Sox, Kitty, Milly, Shiva, Louie, Zeus ,Bella, Charlotte and Cuddles over the Rainbow Bridge and no longer in pain and at peace.

Sleep peacefully 'my love'
Forever in my heart 💜 and in all those who knew you and loved you 💜

What a fantastic outcome ❤️
Such great news 👏

After an unbelievable 529 days living wild, Valerie — the miniature dachshund affectionately dubbed “Australia’s favourite fugitive” — has finally been safely captured on South Australia’s stunning Kangaroo Island. Her extraordinary survival story, coupled with the relentless dedication of the Kangala Wildlife Rescue team, has captured hearts around the globe.

Back in November 2023, Valerie was holidaying with her owners, Georgia Gardner and Josh Fishlock, at Stokes Bay on Kangaroo Island. During a moment of distraction, Valerie managed to escape from her pen, likely trying to follow her owners down to the nearby beach. She disappeared into the dense bushland without a trace. Despite frantic searches involving her owners, locals, and even community-led rescue efforts, the tiny dachshund remained out of reach. Heartbroken, Georgia and Josh were eventually forced to leave the island without her, never giving up hope that their beloved pet might one day be found.

For over a year, Valerie’s fate remained a mystery. It wasn’t until early 2025 that hope was reignited — a dachshund wearing a pink collar was sighted approximately 14 kilometres from her original disappearance point. Motion-activated wildlife cameras soon confirmed the near-impossible: Valerie had adapted to life in the wild.

Despite her small size and domesticated nature, she had survived Kangaroo Island’s tough conditions by drinking from dams, scavenging for food such as roadkill, and foraging for native fauna. Her instincts, intelligence, and sheer determination had kept her alive against staggering odds.

Realising that traditional trapping methods wouldn’t work on such a clever and wary dog, Kangala Wildlife Rescue’s Jared and Lisa Karran crafted a patient, strategic approach. They designed a customised “comfort trap” — turning an ordinary cage into a welcoming space, complete with Valerie’s favourite things: her mum’s old clothing to provide a familiar scent, soft bedding, toys, and treats. They even used a gradual approach to get her used to the setup, allowing her to come and go freely at first.

Technology played a crucial role too. A hidden we**am fed live footage back to the team, allowing them to monitor Valerie’s visits without disturbing her. A remote-controlled trigger was installed to shut the door only when it was certain she was safely inside, avoiding the risk of frightening her away.

After several cautious weeks of building trust, the plan worked flawlessly. Valerie entered the trap without suspicion, and the door was gently closed behind her.

Remarkably, once captured, Valerie displayed little fear, physically, she was in surprisingly good condition — a little thinner and with a few scars from her wild adventure, but otherwise healthy and spirited.

Now safe in care, Valerie is being lovingly prepared for an emotional reunion with Georgia and Josh, who never gave up hope of seeing their little girl again.

Valerie’s astonishing journey stands as a testament to the strength of the human-animal bond and the unbreakable spirit of one tiny dachshund. Her survival has inspired thousands, reminding us all of the courage, resilience, and loyalty our pets hold.
