Not one application for this poor girl! Please consider adopting Autumn, so far no one has and we are heartbroken for her.

Adult cats always have to wait a little bit longer, but Autumn does not deserve to have another day without a forever family. Her foster carer is going away on the first of September so we would love to find her a family before then.

Autumn is a lovely lady who would make the perfect companion with her gentle, sweet and friendly nature. She is such a delightful cat to live with and will always make sure you have company and feel loved.

She is the kind of cat who loves peace and creates peace! If you are looking for a companion cat please consider her, she will not let you down.

Not only is she so sweet and friendly she is absolutely beautiful! Just like the leaves during Autumn she shines in the sunlight and the gold in her eyes are stunning! She has the most beautiful markings and a variety of colours that are magnificent. These photos do not even do her justice.

Autumn is okay with other cats or would also enjoy a home on her own where she can soak up all the love from you. She has not been tested with dogs, but we feel she would rather not have a dog friend (they are a little too high energy for a calm queen like herself). She would also prefer not to have loud young children with her.

She is the perfect cat for a mature aged person who is feeling a little lonely and would love a little cat to welcome them at the door and come home to. Or someone young looking at having their first cat to love. Whoever adopts her will be one lucky human. Torti cats have so much love for their owners and Aumtumn even more so.

Autumn is desexed, up to date with vaccinations, flea/worm treated, microchipped and kitty litter trained. If you are interested in meeting her and adopting please apply by clicking on the form below:

Milo is a beautiful 10 year old cat who needs a new home. Sadly, he had to come into care as his elderly owners were no longer able to care for him properly.

Please share, like and comment to help him find a beautiful home. Engaging with social media really does help.

Milo is a very loving, sweet and affectionate cat! He loves people and just needs kind, patient and understanding humans who will understand how heartbroken and confused he will be for a short while. Milo has a huge heart and will love you immensely (especially if you have snacks and a soft lap).

He is such a handsome cat with such soft fur and unique markings. We love a grey and white lad and Milo is gorgeous!

Milo is a playful cat and enjoys chasing his pretend mice and other toys. He will make you laugh with his little zoomies, hilarious quirks and love of life!

He has not lived with other animals and is best suited to a home where he is the only cat soaking up all the love and attention. Milo is okay with children, but of course his boundaries need to be respected (like with all cats).

Milo just wants a calm, loving and peaceful home where he can curl up on the couch, cuddle up next to you, eat his favourite snacks and play with his toys. A simply life with a loving little cat? the dream! Whoever adopts him will be very lucky indeed.

If you are wanting a loving, sweet, playful and adorable older cat then please consider beautiful Milo - he so deserves a second chance and someone to adore.

Looking for an affectionate lap cat?

Wilson is our friendliest boy. Such a sweet, cuddly and affectionate lap cat who is sure to adore you.

✅ dog & cat social
✅ lap cat
✅ very friendly
✅ playful & quirky

Personalities like his do not come into care too often so we can't wait to find him the perfect home and family who will shower him in all the love he wants and deserves. He is shy to start off with, but as you can see gosh he becomes so friendly when he understands he is safe and loved.

Why is he still in care? Wilson has a white face and markings that sadly makes him less desirable to people looking for a cat. All too often these cats are labelled "ugly" and overlooked for the fluffy, grey and more "appealing look". We just need someone who adores him, wants a lap cat and thinks he is the handsome boy that he truly is!
Not only does Wilson love people, he is highly cat social and is also fine with dogs. Of course, he will require a slow and proper introduction. He is just very confident, a total boot head and the more love around him the better! Wilson enjoys playing and sharing his toys, wrestling with cat friends, will have the most adorable chats with and is sure to bring laughter and joy into your home daily!

Wanting a snuggle buddy? Wilson will jump into your lap, snuggle up close to you, he will even also stretch out and ask for belly rubs which is beyond heart melting and the complete sign of trust.

Of course, just because he is friendly he still also needs the right environment to thrive. People who understand cats and will still respect cat boundaries. He would be best suited to a stable home where he has space to play, run and get some energy out - he is not suited to a small unit.

Wilson is certainly not suited to a home who will let him free roam and get into danger. Wilson is desexed, up to date with vaccinations, flea/worm treated, kitty litter trained and microchipped. If you are interested in adopting him please apply by clicking on the link below:

✨ Elisha & Oreo – Still Waiting for Their Forever Home ✨

These two beautiful bonded girls have been waiting far too long, without a single application. 💔 Please, will you be the one to give them the home they deserve?

They are sweet, playful, and incredibly loving pair who belong together. Watching them cuddle, groom each other, and play their quirky little games will melt your heart daily. You’ll find yourself constantly saying, “awwww!” They truly are double the love, double the joy, and double the fun.

The best part of adopting a bonded pair? They’ll always keep each other company while you’re at work or out for the day. No loneliness, no guilt, just two happy, content cats waiting to greet you with love when you get home.

Elisha and Oreo can be a little shy at first. That’s why they’ve been overlooked. But once they feel safe, their true personalities shine! They are affectionate, gentle, and full of love. All they need is someone kind who understands that the best bonds are worth a little time.

Elisha gives the best head-boops, is a food enthusiast and loves people! A totally affectionate, loving and grateful cat who will bring a smile to your face daily! We adore her and are so sad she is still waiting for a home to call her own.

Oreo is beautiful! Elisha adopted her as her own kitten when they came into care and they have been inseparable ever since! A beautiful bond that only grows stronger each day. She is such an adorable kitten who loves to play, snuggle up and will warm your heart and bring joy to your life daily!

A dream team who compliment each other so much and are such a delightful pair to share a home and life with.

By adopting Elisha and Oreo, you’re not just giving them a home, you’re giving them the gift of staying together forever💕

Lap cat who also loves other cats needing a home ❤️

Tigger is one of those over the top friendly, sweet and loving little cats! He is so joyful, sweet and a total vibe! Whoever adopts him will be one very lucky family.

Please share, like and comment to help him find a family. Engaging with social media posts really does help increase their chances by getting their faces out there.

Tigger is everything you would want in a little cat! He is playful, cuddly and a total lap cat who loves people! He will snuggle on the couch, want bed cuddles, will come when you call him and genuinely love you with every bone in his adorable body. He even hugs with his paws. It is hard to leave the house because of his cute cuddles.

He is also highly cat social and would suit a home with another cat social cat that he can play with, snuggle with and share his huge heart with. He is untested with dogs and we feel would prefer a home without children under 8.

Tigger loves a quiet life where he can totally relax and let his true colours shine. He is a playful boy so a home with lots of toys, vertical space and enrichment is a must! A home with a cat enclosure attached to the house, or cat proofed yard would be wonderful for him too.

Not only does he have a 10/10 personality, he is so beautiful! His tail is the envy of every cat. A fluffy and totally fabulous prince who is sure to only become more and more stunning!

He is our favourite little cat in care right now (shh do not tell the others) it is just impossible not to completely fall for him and his ear fluff.

Looking for beautifully bonded brothers? Luka & Lenny need a home and are the perfect ginger pair.

Friendly, sweet, affectionate, confident and playful. They are everything you would want in a bonded pair. If you have not had the joy of having ginger babies in your life, now is your chance. Ginger boys bring so much joy, love and energy into every home.

They are so friendly, sweet and loving towards each other and their special humans. Both boys will give you little head boops, snuggle up to you, show off their adorable purrs and have the sweetest little bond that we just would not break. Like most cats, they’re a little nervous and unsure at first, but it won't take long in a new home to show their true colours.

Lenny has the sweetest little soul, loves to play and will spend every day showing you how grateful he is that you chose him. He is delightful and a total joy to have around. Luka is playful, hilarious and so snuggly! He enjoys cuddles, carrying toys in his mouth and curling up with his brother. Luka will make you laugh and fill your heart with joy every single day.

They absolutely love each other, and adopting two is always better than one. They’ll wrestle, groom and keep each other happy, then be overjoyed to see you when you get home. They’ll be waiting at the door, chat at food time and snuggle on the couch or bed (if allowed).

We adore this adorable pair and are sure you will too! They've been overlooked due to being nervous in meet and greets, but just need someone kind and patient to give them the time and chance to settle.
Not suited to a small unit—ginger boys do better with space and preferably safe outdoor time (cat enclosure, cat-proofed yard, or supervised harness time). Not suitable for roaming homes.

Luka & Lenny are desexed, vaccinated, flea/worm treated, microchipped and litter trained.

Mochi is a beyond adorable tiny baby who would really love to be adopted!

Please share, like and comment to help her find a home of her own. Engaging with social media really does help get their little faces out there.

Mochi is an adorable calico baby and if you have not had the pleasure of having one as a family member, consider this the time and sign that you need. Both of her siblings have been adopted and now we would love her to find the perfect home!

*Important* Mochi is very shy to start off with she will need someone kind, patient and understanding to give her the time and support that she needs to feel safe enough to show her true colours. Someone who does not expect her to jump into their lap straight away. After all, good things and strong bonds do take time.

Mochi will hide during her meet and greet and when she first gets into a new home. She will need somewhere quiet, safe and small until she feels brave enough to explore a larger space or home.

Once she feels comfy she is so sweet, playful and friendly! She just needs time, the right environment and the right person. Hopefully that could be you.

She adores other cats so must go to a home with another cat social cat who will help build her confidence with humans. Mochi would be too lonely on her own and kittens always do better with a friend.

Mochi is desexed, up to date with vaccinations, flea/worm treated, microchipped and kitty litter trained.

Mila – Our Longest-Waiting Rescue Cat 💔

Mila has been in care longer than any other cat we’ve had, and it breaks our hearts. While others have found homes, Mila is still waiting for her special someone. We know that person is out there, she just needs a chance.

Mila is truly one-of-a-kind: affectionate, sassy, independent, and full of personality. She loves snuggles, head boops, and makes people laugh daily with her iconic “resting sass face.” She’s quirky, funny, and incredibly lovable.
Mila thrives in a calm, quiet home without other pets or young kids. She has clear boundaries, and once she feels safe and settled, she’s incredibly loyal and loving. Patience and understanding go a long way with her.

She’d love a spacious unit or house, and would enjoy safe, supervised outdoor time in a courtyard. She’s obsessed with water (yes, your shower will be her playground!) and has favorite toys and food that will come with her.
Mila takes daily anxiety meds (easily hidden in food), which help her feel calm and confident. They’re inexpensive, and we’ll support you with guidance every step of the way.

She is desexed, vaccinated, microchipped, flea/worm treated, and litter trained.

💖 Mila is 6 years old and located in Elsternwick, VIC.
