Ezra – Male DSH

Adoption Profile:
Name: Ezra
DOB: 20/11/2023
Gender: Male
Breed: Domestic Short Hair
Adoption Fee: $185
Location: Cannon Hill
Snuggle scope: Likes his feet planted on the ground but purrs when held
Cat scope: Good, but doesn’t always understand social cues
Dog scope: Not a fan of seeing the dog through the window in his foster home
Child scope: Best suited to a home with older children (12+) or no kids

About:

Ezra is a handsome little guy with gorgeous caramel tiger stripes.

His name means “help and strength”, and he truly lives up to it. Once shown love and patience, he reveals himself to be a little purr machine who loves his food and eagerly looks forward to mealtimes.

While Ezra is still nervous around loud noises, sudden movements, and unfamiliar people, he has made incredible progress during his time in care. He now arches his back for tail scratches and eagerly seeks head bops from his foster mummy and his foster fur family.

He’s enjoying playtime with his foster furfriends and especially loves playing with his new foster brother, learning how to be a cat after spending such a young part of his life on his own.

Faith – Female DSH

Adoption Profile:

Name: Faith

DOB : 02/07/2022

Gender : Female

Breed: Domestic Short Hair

Adoption Fee: $185

Location: Deagon

Snuggle scope: Loves a cuddle

Cat scope: Good with correct introductions

Dog scope: Untested

Child scope : Great with gentle hands

Medical note: Faith is in the final stages of Cryptococcus treatment, a fungal infection which presented as a bump near her nose. This presents no threat to other cats, and once her upcoming tests show she is clear she can cease medication. We will consider a foster-to-adopt scenario for Faith while she continues her treatment.

About:

Faith’s true loves can be described in three words: toys, food, and people.

She is the biggest sweetheart and just loves being amongst her people. Whether she’s cuddled up next to you on the lounge, or hanging at your feet in the kitchen, she’s never far away.

We’re not sure if she’s trying to be the next Masterchef contestant, or just loves the kitchen because that’s where the food comes from, but if you so much as glance at the kitchen she’s right there with you. She loves helping you cook up a storm!

Her other most favourite thing is toys! She will carry her toys around (no matter how big!), meowing away happily, presenting them to her foster carers or leaving them scattered around the house. She will then wait until they are all cleaned up and put away in the toy box, and will start the process all over again.

If you’re after a chill, smoochy companion, Faith’s your girl!

I love food….like really really love food, that’s why I’m a little chunky… or squishy as my carer calls me.

Galahad – Male Persian

Adoption Profile:

Name: Galahad

DOB: 06/11/2018

Gender: Male

Breed: Persian

Adoption Fee: $185

Location:Northgate

Snuggle scope: Likes to snuggle on his own terms.

Cat scope: Good with other cats who aren’t dominant.

Dog scope: Untested

Child scope: Very good with kids.
Medical note: Galahad has recurring ringworm which is common for his breed. His initial infection has been treated and cleared up, but he is prone to the occasional flare up. This is best managed by keeping his coat shaved and by applying a medicated spray called Austrazole which is prescribed by a dermatologist. The Austrazole needs to be applied liberally to his skin twice a week.

About:

Introducing the handsome Galahad.

This bundle of floof is just the sweetest guy you will ever meet. He may have RGF (resting grumpy face haha) but he is the furthest thing from grumpy.

This little man will greet you at the end of the day with his big eyes, goofy smile, and a string of grumbles mixed in with a meow.

He has the funniest and most powerful meow I have ever heard on a cat. Even his vet laughs when he visits.

He has had a hard life, from being abandoned outside and left to fend for himself to becoming a cat of leisure who just loves to be with you. He also loves to chase his toy balls around the house.

He is great with children and lives happily with other cats. He would be a great solo cat (companion cat) or with another cat who isn’t dominant.

If Galahad sounds like your perfect match, arrange a meet’n’greet today!

She doesn’t like to be picked up or carried yet, but I’m sure that will happen.

Gwen is a good eater, uses her litter box perfectly, and has mastered the high cat tower with ease. Gwen would love to meet her forever family – is that you?

Name: Halsey
DOB: 28/12/2019
Gender: Female
Breed: Domestic Short Hair
Adoption Fee: $185
Location: Ferny Hills
Snuggle scope: Loves a snuggle
Cat scope: Needs to be a solo diva
Dog scope: Can live happily but won’t be friends.
Child scope: Best with older, calm children or young children if supervised so she doesn’t get startled

About:

Halsey is a sweetheart who loves to love and to know she’s loved.

She’s a little shadow, who will follow her humans from room to room, keeping them in her sights.

She has beautiful markings and wins over visitors with her pretty features and friendly nature. Halsey is a quick learner and picks up new routines and games easily.

She isn’t shy and she enjoys affection, a good chin scratch or a stroke along the back of her coat.

Halsey loves to keep you on your toes with how many pats she’ll enjoy at a time. Relaxed day times in a cosy space and evening zoomies before bed are her favourite.

She’d be a great addition to almost any home once she settles in. Halsey is a sensitive soul, not a fan of noisy environments or other cats. In her perfect home, she would be the solo diva.

Originally adopted from BFF as a kitten, through no fault of her own, she has found herself back in our care looking for a new family.

Hartley – Male DMH

Adoption Profile:

Name: Hartley

DOB: 05/04/24

Gender: Male

Breed: Domestic Medium Hair

Adoption Fee: $185

Location: Ipswich

Snuggle scope: Snuggly on his terms

Cat scope: Totally fine

Dog scope: Untested

Child scope: Untested

About:

Hartley is a stunning grey kitty with charming white socks, swirly fur patterns and adorable fluff in his ears.

He is a big boy who adores his food! He has a gentle demeanour and has come from a stressful, overcrowded rescue situation, which has made him a bit shy and prone to hiding when he is nervous.

Hartley has come a long way; while he is still timid when meeting new people once he is comfortable he is a snuggly boy. To get comfortable though he will need some time and patience but believe me this sweet gorgeous boy is totally worth it!

Hartley is not a lap cat but he has climbed into his carer’s lap briefly a couple of times so in time and patience it may happen. He generally is happy to sit close to you, watch you do what you do but happily accept attention whenever it’s on offer!

Harley loves watching birds outside the window and thinking of ways to catch them, sometimes he likes sometimes playing with his cat siblings and sometimes he likes to sleep.

While he has come from an overcrowded rescue situation Hartley thrives with other cats and would benefit greatly from having a feline companion in his new home to help him feel secure and show him the ropes while he is settling in.

If you’re ready to offer a nurturing environment and give Hartley the time he needs to come out of his shell, he’ll reward you with his sweet and loving nature as he begins to trust and bond with you.

Henrietta – Female DMH

Adoption Profile:

Name: Henrietta

DOB: 06/12/2024

Gender: Female

Breed: Domestic Medium Hair

Adoption Fee: $185

Location: Carina Heights

Snuggle scope: Loves a cuddle when she isn’t exploring

Cat scope: Great with other kittens, should be fine with slow introductions

Dog scope: Untested but should be OK with slow introduction

Child scope: Untested but should be OK with slow introduction

About:

Don’t let her dainty frame fool you-Henrietta (affectionately known as Henri by her carer) is packed full of personality, courage, and charm.

Henri came into care as the youngest and smallest of a group of seven kittens who had been living rough, surviving with the help of a kind gentleman who made sure they were fed.

Life wasn’t easy for little Henri, and she faced more than her fair share of challenges-including cat flu and severe conjunctivitis that left scarring on one eye, along with a minor congenital condition causing part of her eye to remain adhered.

Her eye has improved significantly and may continue to heal, but it’s likely it will never fully recover. The good news? Henri doesn’t seem to mind one bit! We think that this just adds to her charm.

Despite likely never having had any physical contact from a human before she was rescued, Henri surprised everyone with how quickly she accepted affection. From day one, she was open to pats and quickly began to show her sweet, adventurous side.

Henrietta’s story is one of bravery and resilience. Being the tiniest of the bunch meant she had to be bold to survive, and that fearless spirit still shines today. She’s inquisitive, playful, and full of energy-but she’s also sweet, affectionate, clever, and determined. Whether she’s meeting someone new, checking out a new toy or peering out the window at a new sight or sound, Henri does it all with courage.

If you’re looking for a kitten who’s overcome the odds with grace and grit – and who has endless love to give – Henrietta might just be the one for you.

Jack – Male DSH

Adoption Profile:

Name: Jack

DOB: 09/10/2022

Gender: Male

Breed: Domestic Short Hair

Adoption Fee: $185

Location: Basin Pocket

Snuggle scope: Finds them uncomfortable

Cat scope: Needs cat friends in his life

Dog scope: Untested

Child scope: Prefers no children or 15+

About:

Jack came into care as a shy baby and he has grown into a handsome young man that remains shy.

There is one thing that Jack cannot do without in his life though and that is another kitty or 2 that will tolerate him adoring them.

He spends his day snuggling one of the other cats in his foster home, but we think with the right home who can offer him some extra support, that he will actually accept that people need to be snuggled too.

He is also a boy that loves his zoomies.

If you can offer Jack your time and attention and have cats that will be accepting of his adoration and understand that he may not stick around long during a meet, he may be your perfect ginger boy.

Adoption Profile:

Name: Jagger and Jewell

DOB: 11/08/2019

Gender: Male and Female

Breed: Tonkinese cross

Adoption Fee: $315

Location: Yandina

Snuggle scope: They are super scardies so not cuddly Jewell will sometimes allow her carer to brush and pat her.

Cat scope: Not tested but curious about the kittens in current foster carers house,

Dog Scope : Not tested

Child scope: not suitable for a home with children

About:

Wanted – a very special human with lots of love and patience to give!

Jagger and Jewell were found on the street. They are still quite scared of humans but with time and patience they are slowly coming around.

When settled Jewell is the confident one of the pair. She greets her human every morning and is quite chatty and will come for a pat and a scratch and is becoming comfortable with being brushed.

Its been a slow journey for her to trust and in time she may become a lap cat but this will take a significant amount of time and patient.

Jagger is a big boy but was very good for our amazing vet allowing him to bring him out of his carrier and weigh him.

He is the more timid of the pair but will sit and watch his human. He is not at the stage where he will allow pats but is very curious about the goings on in his current foster home.

Jagger and Jewell rely on each other so need to be adopted together. Are you that special person?

Josie – Female DSH

Adoption Profile:

Name: Josie

DOB: 14/06/2023

Breed: Domestic Short Hair

Gender: Female

Adoption fee: $185

Location: Ferny Hills

Snuggle Scope: Very shy

Cat Scope: Is used to living in a multi-cat environment and needs the company of other cats to feel safe
Dog Scope: Untested

Child Scope: Older cat-friendly children who understand interaction with shy cats only

About:

Josie is a beautiful grey tabby with the most delicate presence.

She came into Best Friends Felines care as a very young kitten after being found alone on an industrial site – a frightening start for a tiny cat, and one that shaped her gentle, cautious nature.

Josie is extremely shy. And we mean truly shy. For much of her time in care, she has chosen the safety of hiding places – spending months under the bed, with her foster carer only catching the occasional glimpse once the house was quiet and the lights were off.

She is not a cat who rushes trust. She takes her time, observes carefully, and moves forward only when she feels safe.

Over the past few months with her current foster family, Josie has begun to take small but meaningful steps forward. She’s starting to share space with her foster humans and is slowly learning that hands can be kind and homes can be safe.

What Josie does love – deeply – is the company of other cats. She finds comfort and confidence in her feline friends and especially enjoys spending time with her foster siblings, particularly her brother, Whyte. Cats are her security blanket.

And when night falls? That’s when Josie truly comes alive.

Under the cover of darkness, she becomes braver and more playful. You’ll hear her chasing her foster siblings, batting toys across the floor, and quietly enjoying the simple joy of being a cat – just without an audience.

Josie will need a very patient, understanding human who will allow her to settle in on her own terms, without pressure or expectations. She would thrive in a quiet home with one or more friendly cats, where she can draw confidence from her companions and feel secure as she slowly builds trust.

She may never be a bold, outgoing cat – but once she feels safe, Josie will be a loyal, gentle presence, quietly choosing you in her own way.

She loves her food, has impeccable litter habits, and asks for nothing more than time, safety, and kindness.

Katie – Female DSH

Adoption Profile:

Name: Katie
DOB: 25/03/2020
Gender: Female
Breed: Domestic Short Hair
Adoption Fee: $185
Location: Marsden
Snuggle scope: Likes to snuggle at bed time
Cat scope: Excellent after initial introductions – needs a feline friend
Dog scope: Not suitable
Child scope: Suited to a home with no children
Medical note: Katie has an allergic skin disease. She is allergic to some types of food. She has responded really well to her special diet and will need to be careful with what she eats for her whole life.

About:

Katie was adopted from BFF as a baby but was returned due to her suffering allergies.

She has had quite a bit of upheaval over the last 12mths which has caused her to be initially very shy and cautious of new people. Once trust had been established she is an extremely playful and outgoing young lady. Katie adores playtime and is happiest with playmates of similar size.

Katie has lived in multiple cat households and as a solo cat, and she is happier with feline company where she can go crazy in cat play and tumble. If Katie is left alone for long periods she can get lonely and as such finds herself getting into mischievous situations.

Katie loves her food, but most food does not agree with her, giving her skin allergies – we have been able to find a low preservative diet that agrees with her allergies diet that is not cost-prohibitive. However, her siblings’ food is most definitely off-limits.

Katie loves to sleep alongside foster mum every night, or in a spot of sunlight during the day. Katie can be very high energy, so playtime is a must for her to expend energy.

Katie has displayed reactions to most preventative flea treatments, but vet Dr Shane has advised she can live in a multi-cat household untreated if other cats/pets are medicated with flea prevention. Katie is untested with small children, however, Katie can get frustrated with unwanted attention, and as such small children environment would not be recommended. When Katie is stressed she will exhibit mild cat flu symptoms like sneezing and watery eyes, although fully vaccinated – this will be an ongoing condition for her.

Lorenzo and Luciano – Male DSH

Adoption Profile:

Name: Lorenzo and Luciano
DOB : 15/05/2020
Gender : Male
Breed: Domestic Short Hair
Adoption Fee: $315
Location: Morayfield
Snuggle scope: Nope! On his terms, he may let you stroke him
Cat scope: LOVES other cats
Dog scope: Nope!
Child scope: Nope & a bit more nope!

About:

Are you a very special person? Could you adopt two brothers who may not ever have any appreciation of what you’ve done for them? If you have low expectations, please read on!

Lorenzo and Luciano (aka The Italian Boys) – these two boys are inseparable, let’s make that very clear. They came from a horrible place, so horrible that I won’t go into it much, but needless to say, it’s left them with a lot of ‘issues’.

Lorenzo copped the worst of the ongoing issues – he has awful lungs and if you’re brave enough to get close enough, terrible bad breath! The vets have said that his teeth are pretty good though, so he’s not needed any extractions. He had pneumonia when he was a baby, so his lungs are very scarred, but it doesn’t cause him any problems apart from snoring like an old man!

Lorenzo’s biggest problem is that his brain isn’t wired properly – he’s an ‘Ultra Scaredy’ scaredy cat. He’s not feral by any means – he acknowledges that you’re the food provider and will bunt your legs when you get the food out (& he does this quite hard so you need to have good bones!) and he will, very occasionally, forget that he doesn’t really like humans and come for a quick stroke.

There are some safe spaces in the house where Lorenzo will accept pats, but he will often change his mind on where the safe space is, so he keeps you on your toes!

Don’t let that put you off though – when he gets going with playing (which can be an effort), he’s incredibly funny as he’s a bit ‘unco’ too. He LOVES other cats and will do anything to get them to like him & he’s pretty persistent to say the least.

Going to the vets is generally more anxiety provoking for us than Lorenzo, but he tries to make out he has the harder time!

He loves his food, especially treats, so sometimes, you can bribe him, depending on his mood at the time.

Luciano has less issues than his bro, but he still has issues. His lungs are also scarred from pneumonia when he was a baby, but not as bad as Lorenzo’s, which means his snoring isn’t quite as bad! Thankfully, he doesn’t have bad breath!

Luciano also isn’t wired very well in his brain, but he is a lot more affectionate than Lorenzo. Lucci will actively seek out his humans for smooches at any time of the day and in any place in the house. Much like you should never get a Mogwai wet, you should never try to pick Lucci up for a cuddle – it won’t be pretty!

Luciano is more outgoing and loves to play. He does love other cats, but he can tend to be a bit dominant and his attempts to play can be seen as a bit too full on by some cats (ask my girls & they’ll tell you!). He and Renzo playfight a lot and Renzo is good at telling him when to stop.

Luciano is a big foodie, more so than his bro. He has a high pitched squeaky voice when he talks which doesn’t match his large stature. He talks lots when there’s yummy food around, his fave being roast chicken.

The boys have been with us for 3 years (we specialise in scaredy cats). We love them dearly, but it’s clear they won’t make much more progress with us. In a new environment, sometimes these very scaredy cats can make real progress – we’ve seen that time and time again.

Cat scope: Hissy at first, but warms up right away

Dog scope: Untested, but would say perfectly fine for the right dog.

Child scope: Amazing

About:

Lottie is a small kitty full of energy.

She will most commonly be found playing with whatever toy she can find, and if all else fails she’ll entertain herself with a strand of hair on the floor.

She’s a big eater, but only when it’s food that isn’t hers.

She would preferably go to a home with kids, or adults able to fulfill all her energy needs. She is ready to play at a moments notice and would love to get well acquainted with some new toys in her furever home.

Snuggle scope: Shy at first, but relaxes into the cuddle

Cat scope: Fine with correct introductions

Dog scope: Scared of dogs

Child scope: Untested, wouldn’t be suitable for children under 12 due to her timid nature

About:

Lydia is a beautiful, sweet girl that made her way into BFF care after a carer found her and trapped her and her kittens in her back yard.

It’s clear she’s been on her own for a long time and is very wary of people, however she’s quickly adjusting to family life and is starting to enjoy the cuddles.

Lydia is a very chill cat, she loves to observe the going-ons in the household. Her favourite thing is to have the wind in her face so a nice spot by a window would make her very happy.

If you have a nice quiet home with lots of love and patience, Lydia is the perfect girl for you.

About:

Small but mighty, that is Miss Lyric!

She is quiet and still a scardie but when she wants to she will make herself heard!

Lyric likes to play, not like a crazy kitten but will happily play if you bring out a string toy! She can amuse herself too, walking around checking things out, running through play tunnels or snoozing somewhere up high like the top of a cabinet.

She is very sweet and gentle but not a lap cat and will purr loudly when being patted.

Maree is a gorgeous, petite little grey tabby who despite her rough start to life, is learning quickly that a nice warm bed, good food, and lots of love and cuddles is definitely the way to go!

Maree recently raised 5 gorgeous, healthy little kittens who have now found their fur-ever homes, and we all think that it’s well and truly Maree’s turn!

She is showing a really lovely personality with the resident cats, and is simply just a beautiful girl who is waiting patiently for her fur-ever family o arrive to shower her with the love and special treatment she is so entitled to
