Pippa

11/04/2023 ☆ Female ☆ DSH ☆ Sweet, smoochie and all heart
Edit: we’ve updated Pippa’s profile. Pippa has settled into the rescue well and has stopped hissing (unless it’s at a cat that comes too close). She may have just needed a little time to settle.

Pippa is one of those cats who quietly wins you over without even trying. She’s a beautifully low-maintenance girl who’ll happily slot into the rhythm of your home, spending her days lazing around and gazing out the window.

What Pippa loves most in the world is a good pat, a cheek scratch, and a full-on smooch session. She’s gentle, easygoing, and an absolute joy to be around,the kind of cat who just makes a house feel a little more like home.

Pippa does best as the sole fur-baby in the home, where she can soak up all the attention and affection she so clearly deserves. She adores people, including kids aged 5 and up, and will happily shower her chosen person with the best smooches going.

If you’re after a sweet, calm companion with a big heart, Pippa is your girl. Send us a message, she’d love to meet you.

Panther

13/1/2024 ☆ Male ☆ DSH ☆ Cheekily Confident

Meet Panther and yes, he knows exactly how handsome he is.

This sleek, stunning black cat has a personality as big as his good looks, and he’s made an art form out of getting exactly what he wants. Cheeky, charismatic, and completely irresistible, Panther has a way of wrapping people around his little paw without even trying.

He’s a climber at heart, so a cat tower is basically non-negotiable expect to find him ruling from the highest point in the room, surveying his kingdom with great satisfaction. When he’s not plotting his next adventure, he’s surprisingly affectionate and genuinely loving, happy to shower you with attention on his own very charming terms.

Panther knows how to find a way to be the centre of attention with his dominant personality. Because that’s just Panther.

Bold, beautiful, and a little bit naughty. He’s absolutely worth it.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS

Nelson

24/08/2024 ☆ Male ☆ DSH ☆ The gentle guy who’ll steal your heart (and grab your leg!)

We are absolutely ecstatic to announce that our beautiful boy Nelson is finally ready for his forever home and trust us, this moment has been a long time coming! After spending several weeks on antibiotics to treat a localised infection in his nose, our brave little buddy has come out the other side happy, healthy, and ready to find his people. 🎉
Nelson is one of those cats who just makes every day a little warmer. He is gentle, loving, and endlessly fun and if you dare walk past him without stopping for a pat, he will reach out and gently grab you, because being near you is simply where he wants to be. He adores a good head massage and has the most wonderful way of reminding you that you are loved. Despite being an adult, Nelson has a youthful spark that lights up any room, he still loves to play and keeps the fun alive every single day.
This gorgeous guy is brilliant with kids and gets along beautifully with other cats, making him the perfect addition to just about any home. If you’ve been looking for a companion who is equal parts cuddly and cheeky, Nelson is your man. Send us a message, we have a feeling he won’t be waiting long! 💛

Sasha-Rose

11/05/2025 ☆ Female ☆ DSH ☆ A little tortie with a big story (and even bigger smooches)

Meet Sasha-Rose, a sweet little tortie whose journey to safety is nothing short of heartwarming. Rescued from the Mornington Island pound, Sasha-Rose's flight to a second chance was sponsored by kind-hearted people from all across Queensland who came together to give this beautiful girl the future she deserves. Talk about a community effort!

And what a girl she is. Sasha-Rose is loving, sweet, and absolutely beautiful, with all the playful spark of a kitten ready to take on the world. She's wonderful with kids and adores her fellow cats, making her a brilliant fit for just about any household. Fair warning though: she'll steal your heart, your toys, and definitely those smooches. She's a little thief in the best possible way.

After everything she's been through, Sasha-Rose is ready for the forever home she's always deserved. Could that be with you?

Back in care by no fault of her own

Bang Bang

20/12/2025 ☆ Male ☆ DSH ☆ Gentle Soul

Bang Bang is a handsome little gentleman with a sweet and gentle soul. Like many sensitive kitties, he can take a little time to realise he’s safe and settle into new surroundings, but once he does, he forms lovely bonds and becomes a loyal little companion. Bang Bang is an easygoing boy who enjoys doing his own thing, whether that’s lounging up high on a cat tree or finding the perfect quiet nook to sneak away for a peaceful nap.

A calm and relaxed home would suit Bang Bang best, as loud and busy environments aren’t really his scene. He’s happiest in a home where he can take life at his own pace, with plenty of cosy spots and patient people who understand that the best friendships are worth waiting for.

We’re working with our friends at Cairns Animal Rescue Inc 2 to find Bang Bang the perfect home 🧡

Eleanor

21/3/21 ☆ Female ☆ DSH ☆ Super Affectionate

Eleanor is the sweetest biscuit in the tin, and we genuinely can’t work out how she slipped through the cracks. She came to us from the pound, and the moment you meet her you’re left wondering the same thing we are: how was a girl this gentle, this loving, this obviously cared for, not snapped up the second she landed there? Someone clearly adored her once. You can see it in the way she leans straight into your hands like she’s known you forever.

Smooching is her whole heart. It’s her favourite thing in the world, and she’ll do it endlessly, pressing her little face to your hands for pats, weaving around your ankles, asking for nothing more than to be close to her people. She’s quiet, she’s impossibly clean, and she carries herself with this soft, easy calm that fills a room without ever making a fuss.

There’s nothing complicated about what Eleanor needs. She just wants someone to love her, and to let her love them right back, for the rest of her days. She’s been waiting longer than a cat this wonderful ever should have. Let’s be the ones who finally get it right for her.

If your heart just did the thing, send us a message. Eleanor is ready whenever you are.
