Cats in our Care

Blackie and his brother Mooey are looking for a new home (together or separately) after their owner had to move house and was unable to find a rental that allowed them.

These two brothers have grown up together and are great mates. While Mooey is quite affectionate, Blackie has been a bit traumatised by the move into foster care and has taken about 6 weeks to come out of his shell and let his carer pat him. He's now coming up for headbutts at dinner time and cautiously accepting a pat. His previous owner found him fairly confident with new people once he got to know them and a typical, friendly, cuddly cat with them. We are sure he'll make a great addition to an indoor only home who is cat experienced and willing to give him the chance to settle into his new home. For this reason Blackie will come on an extended trial period.

Both Blackie and Moeey are used to living with multiple cats but haven't lived with dogs before. They would be better in a home with older, or no, children as they haven't grown up with very young children and will just hide from them.

A Resilient Spirit Looking for a Gentle Home

Lexi is a beautiful kitten whose journey began with a terrifying experience—she was found alone and overwhelmed in a busy, loud warehouse. Understandably, this sweet girl arrived in foster care traumatised, initially reacting to human presence with fear.

Her Courageous Progress: With patience and a gentle hand, Lexi is slowly building trust. Her journey is marked by daily steps forward: she has stopped fighting, eats confidently in the same room as her foster family, and is beginning to accept soft pats while she eats. Though still cautious, she now occasionally welcomes gentle scratches behind her ears and under her chin, showing how much she yearns for connection.

A Playful Heart Awaiting Discovery: When Lexi feels safe and thinks she's unobserved, her true kitten self emerges! She transforms into a comical, energetic whirlwind of zoomies and mischievous pounces. She loves chasing toys, especially felt balls—which she proudly carries around—and is beginning to play interactive games. We’re seeing more of her joyful, playful side each day.

The Ideal Home for Lexi: Because she's still blossoming, Lexi needs a calm, experienced, and understanding home. She requires time and compassion to feel safe and become the sweet companion she is destined to be. An environment without small children or very active pets is essential for her continued confidence building.

If you have the heart and patience for a resilient kitten, Lexi is waiting.

Meet Boris He is the perfect cat. He’s very gentle, loving and easy going and also playful. Boris loves pats, rubs, affection, body massages and conversations with his humans. He loves to stay very close to his human and, if he’s very relaxed, he’ll even sit in your lap for a minute or two.

Boris enjoys playing in his tunnel and with a fishing line toy. He’ll chase and throw a toy mouse and loves having a stuffed toy so he can have kicker play sessions. He also loves brushes.

His foster mum did the goldilocks test with three different brushes and found he prefers the metal wire ones the best. He will wiggle and squirm but don’t let that stop you, he just wants more. A brush or two every day will keep his beautiful grey velvet fur nice and sleek.

Boris is extremely healthy. The vet is very happy with him. Boris does have a stress related condition called FIC that means he needs a very calm and stress free environment and some special urinary and hydration food and supplements.

Boris is not a stressed or fussy cat and doesn’t ask for much, but love; however, he does need some things so his condition doesn’t worsen.

Although Boris is excellent with dogs, an excitable dog can cause underlying stress.

Boris will be the perfect cat, but can you be the perfect home?
1. Home often?
