Hello friends and fur babies ❤️

We will be closed for the Easter long Weekend, including Easter Friday (tomorrow), Saturday, Sunday, and Monday. We will re-open at 8am on Tuesday April 7th as per usual.

Our models Maggie (black and white) and Birdy (calico) have already settled in for a relaxing weekend 🏖️

Wishing everyone a safe and happy long weekend! Fingers crossed you won't need any help while we're closed, but if you do we have some wonderful 24-hour emergency hospitals nearby:

Puffin and Baby Stinky have found their forever homes, but Birdy and Maggie are still looking! They seem a little shy at first, but are quick to come around and show their playful sides. They would both be best suited to a single cat household, or a home with a cat or kitten friend to play with. They would also love to live together, for anyone looking to adopt two sisters ❤️

If you think you have room in your life for one or both of these little cuties, please visit their pages below and fill in an adoption form - we'll be in touch to arrange a visit 😊

Birdy and Maggie have been desexed, microchipped, and have had their first vaccination and flea/worming treatment.

Say hello to Mario! This little nugget is up for adoption.

Mario is a total sweetheart - we knew it the moment we saw him! A lovely couple found him sheltering in their garage during a storm, and brought him to us when no mother or siblings could be found. We cleaned him up, and now he's good as new!

Mario loves food almost as much as he loves people, and even gets along well with other cats! He purrs like a champion (especially when he's being cuddled), and loves to be flipped onto his back and showered with kisses and belly rubs. If there was an official award for 'best boy', he'd win by a landslide.

He's currently living his best life with his foster carer (who would keep him if she could), but the time has come for him to find his forever home. We honestly think he'd do well in any household, as long as he's loved.

If you think you have room in your life for this little cutie and would like to arrange a visit, please visit the page below and fill in our adoption form.

Mario has been desexed, vaccinated, microchipped, and given flea and worming treatment. He is fit and healthy and perfect.

Nola and Delilah (formerly Muppet) are ready to find their forever homes! While we'd love for them to find a home together, we think they'll thrive in any environment.

Delilah and Nola came to us after a kind soul found them suffering on the streets with severe flu symptoms. We were worried our poor girl Delilah wouldn't make it, but she pulled through like a champion! Both girls are now happy and healthy, and ready for adventure.

These sisters are STUNNING. As photogenic as they are, pictures don't really do them justice. They have long wispy fur and gorgeous ear tufts ❤️

If you have room in your life for one or both of these girls, please submit an application and fill in our form so we can get in touch to arrange a visit/cuddle session.

Delilah - https://www.petrescue.com.au/listings/1165946

Nola - https://www.petrescue.com.au/listings/1165943

Delilah and Nola have been desexed, vaccinated, microchipped, and are up-to-date with their flea and worming.

Happy Holidays everyone! We will be closing our doors at 7pm tonight for a short break, then returning to business-as-usual on Monday January 5th, 2026. 🎉

Thank you all so much for sharing another wonderful year with us! We hope you have a safe and happy break, filled with food and cat cuddles. In Australia we may not have the snowy holidays seen in classic Christmas movies like Home Alone and Die Hard, but we do have blistering heat, hot summer rains, and beer. Sooooo...yay? 🌞🦐🍺

The two sweethearts in our photo this year are Nola and Muppet. They have some growing to do, but should be up for adoption early in the new year! Keep an eye on this space. ❤

We hope you won't need any help over the holidays, but here are the details for some local 24-hour hospitals just in case:

This gorgeous girl was found abandoned in the lane behind our hospital yesterday. One of our lovely neighbours at Fox and Scout heard her cries for help, and saved her from spending even more time baking in a plastic carrier in the 30+ degree sun. She was panting, soaked with her own urine, and clearly distressed. We brought her in for some love and care, and today she's loafing like a champ and trading pats for purrs ❤

If anyone recognises this lovely lady, or knows who may have left her, please contact us by emailing [email protected], or by calling (02) 8384 4472. She's a dilute tortie/calico with a distinct left ear. Please feel free to share this information with anyone you think may know something.

She's friendly and well fed, so we suspect somebody was looking after her at some point. We have no idea who abandoned her or why, but several of our neighbours have cameras facing the lane, so we hope to find the person responsible and report them to the police. Pet abandonment is not only cruel, it is a punishable crime.

Anyone who finds themselves in the unfortunate position of needing to surrender their cat should contact a welfare agency, local charity, or their local vet for guidance. Leaving a caged animal in a quiet street - hoping someone will help them before they die of dehydration or exposure - is never the right thing to do. There is no guarantee that whoever finds them will be able to care for them - we will be closed over the holidays, so are not in the best position to give this girl the attention she deserves and needs.

We know it can be frustrating to find homes for cats, especially at this time of year, but there is always a better way. Our furry friends deserve more from us.

We received another gorgeous holiday goodie bag this year from our friends at Inner City Strays!

Thank you so much for thinking of us, and for helping so many cats in need - especially the tricky colony cats! We love working with you and honestly can't say enough nice things about all the amazing work you do.

If anyone out there is looking to donate to a good cause and help some cats this holiday season, please consider visiting the Inner City Strays website at https://www.innercitystrays.com/ and clicking the donate button. Your money will go towards helping at-risk stray cats get the medical care they need to live healthy happy lives. The Inner City Strays team go above-and-beyond to provide ongoing care for street cats, even when those street cats actively try to murder them. Sassy murder cats need love too, and Inner City Strays is brave enough to provide it ❤️

Through some combination of science and sorcery, this year is somehow drawing to a close and the holidays are almost upon us. We have no idea where the time went, but are looking forward to the holiday break! We hope you all have some much deserved fun and relaxation planned! Little Franklin is very excited for his first Christmas... then again, he's excited about pretty much everything. His single brain cell is always either fully engaged or completely exhausted and bewildered. It's a hard life ❤️

This year we will be closed from Wednesday December 24th, re-opening on Monday January 5th 2026.

Don’t forget to stock up on everything your cats might need over the holidays! If you need medications, please make all requests by Tuesday December 16th, and make sure you can pick them up before we close at 7pm on Tuesday December 23rd.

Please keep in mind that compounded medications often take a few days to arrive.

Happy Halloween everyone! Featuring some tiny baby rescue kittens. ❤🐈🐾

The humble house cat is often associated with witches and curses, thanks in large part to the fact that they often act like creepy little weirdos and chase shadows. Can they see ghosts? Probably. Do they care enough to do anything about it? Probably not, so we're safe for now. 👻

On this day, the most hallowed of eves, we thought we'd share a bit of history on the origins of Halloween and its association with cats...
..nah, just kidding! We're all too busy stuffing our faces with candy for that, and we hope you are too! Don't forget to show a little extra love to the furry little demons in your life, and make sure they have a safe space to hide if you think fireworks and crazy parties might be happening in your neighborhood. 🍭🍬🎉

It's the end of an era - our gorgeous Georgia has spread her wings and flown away to fulfil her new role as The World's Best Teacher (official title). The children of the world are in safe hands, and we know she'll continue to be an absolute Queen.

Georgia was our first ever official employee and quickly became invaluable. Her dedication led her to foster and care for more cats and kittens than we could ever count, even taking home litters of baby kittens for feeding and TLC. Her up-beat attitude and pep-talks kept us sane, and her calm, patient manner kept us zen.

We know so many of you have benefited from her wisdom and compassion when hearing her advice over the phone, or after your baby cats have had a procedure. We hope you will join us in wishing all the very best to our OG animal attendant, receptionist, and emotional support angel. We miss her already, and will always think of here when we have a matcha latte break 😭
