Cecelia – Female DSH
Adoption Profile:
Name: Cecilia
DOB: 03/10/2015
Gender: Female
Breed: Domestic Short Hair
Adoption Fee: $165
Location: Bonogin
Snuggle scope: Enjoys a nice pat
Cat scope: Ok with correct introductions
Dog scope: Tolerates the boisterous puppy in her foster home as long as she is respectful
Child scope: Untested
Medical note. Cecilia has diabetes and requires insulin injections two times a day, she will need this for the rest of her life.
About:
Cecilia is a beautiful 9 year old girl that was surrendered to us after being diagnosed with diabetes.
Her diabetes is now stabilised, and she needs insulin via injection 2 times per day (12 hours apart). This might sound off putting, but CC is so sweet and placid, and sits nicely while you inject her, and she doesn’t even flinch (and the needle is really small so super easy).
She is currently living in a multi cat household. When she first arrived she hid most of the day for several weeks while she adjusted, but now she is happily out in the open joying laying in sunny spots around the house.
She is fine with other cats, but prefers it if they give her her own space.
She’s a sweet girl that likes to bury into snuggly blankets to feel cosy and secure.
She’s a friendly girl that enjoys a nice pat, and when you are patting her, she raises her butt in the air so she can get a good scratch at the base of her tail.

Marley – Female DSH
Adoption Profile:
Name: Marley
DOB: 01/03/2015
Gender: Female
Breed: Domestic Short Hair
Adoption Fee: $165
Location: Mudgeeraba
Snuggle scope: Loves being nearby, but not a lap cat. Okay with being picked up.
Cat scope: Better as a solo cat
Dog scope: Unknown
Child scope: Older children preferred
About:
Marley and you?
This little lady, like her musical namesake is one pretty cool cat. She loves spending her days chilling out, looking out windows, watching the world go by.
She likes meeting new people and sidles up quickly for one of her favourite things in the world, a head scratch. In the evenings her favourite spots are by her human on the lounge or curled up at the end of the bed. Marley hasn’t shown much interest in laps, but with summer coming, who needs a lap warmer anyway. She does though love being nearby and will reward you with the sweetest little meow, or a lovely loud purr.
Marley is learning the wonders of play and has quite a workout chasing toys on sticks. She’ll often roll over to show her beautiful belly, but don’t fall into the trap of thinking she wants a belly rub, it’s her favourite game, grabbing any unsuspecting hand (gently of course).
Marley is an undemanding, sweet, relaxed girl who is responding very well to care. She will no doubt continue to blossom when she finds her forever people to show her the love that was missing from her last home.

Gender: Female
Breed: Domestic Short Hair
Adoption Fee: $165

Dog scope: Untested
Child scope: Untested
About:
This senior lady is a real sweetie and loves pats and will sometimes allow herself to be picked up.
If she doesn’t want to be she growls and tries to appear fierce and grumpy to but never scratches or bites. She stops growling once she is being cuddled.
Mia is a senior lady and does not really play but is happy looking out her window or snoozing on her desk by the window. She will come to you to be patted and then purrs happily while being patted.

Ripley – Female DSH
Adoption Profile:
Name: Ripley
DOB: 04/03/2013
Gender: Female
Breed: Domestic Short Hair
Adoption Fee: $165
Location: Lawnton
Snuggle scope: Very snuggly
Cat scope: Wants to be friends with non dominant cats.
Dog scope: Does not like dogs.
Child scope: Fine with gentle children
Medical Note: Ripley has had her teeth removed on arrival in care. She has some arthritis in her back legs which can be controlled with small amounts of medication.
About
Ripley’s life was harsh before being rescued.
She was part of a colony on a farm with horrible conditions, lacking care and regular food and shelter.
Ripley has raised an unknown number of kittens. Amazingly she is still a sweet and trusting cat.
Now safe in care she is a lap, chair and bed offsider.
She loves companionship, gentle pats, scratches and a sunny spot to nap in.
She is good with other cats but fearful of dogs.
Ripley will also do well with respectful children.
Despite having no teeth, she is an enthusiastic eater enjoying both soft food and kibble and her coat is now showing her beautiful torti colours.
After a tough start, this grand old lady deserves a peaceful loving forever home for her senior years.

Slash – Male DSH
Adoption Profile:
Name: Slash
DOB: 12/10/2015
Gender: Male
Breed: Domestic Short Hair
Adoption Fee: $165
Location: North Lakes
Snuggle scope: Absolutely on his own terms
Cat scope: Single cat household
Dog scope: A little unpredictable, okay if the dog keeps their distance
Child scope: Will tolerate gentle children giving him pats
Medical Note: Slash came into care with a urinary blockage so severe he needed emergency surgery to save his life. Because of this, he now needs a special prescription diet for the rest of his life to prevent further blockages occurring.
About:
Slash (named for the famous guitarist) is a closet sweetheart.
Most interactions with Slash are on his terms, but when you get it right, he rewards you with a satisfied blink and even a brief purring – which is a cross between purring and grunting! He loves to sleep and has a few favourite spots. He is very diligent in using the scratching tower and has never damaged furniture. He is very good at using a closed litterbox and is not fussy about litter brand changes.
Slash is however fussy with food and is also on a special renal diet – he would refuse food repeatedly if he does not like the particular flavour, he loves dry food but is reluctant to drink water. It is important that extra liquid gets added to his wet food (bottled water as he seems to hate council water!)
Slash will need a lot of love and encouragement and tends to share his sweet side with one preferred person only, so if you are perhaps that special person that has heaps of patience and a lot of kitty love, Slash will eventually learn to adore you also.

Willow – Female Persian
Adoption Profile:
Name: Willow
DOB: 30/01/2016
Gender: Female
Breed: Exotic Persian
To adopt: 165
Location: The Gap
Snuggle scope: While she will not come onto laps, we love snuggles and closeness. She will sit beside you and tap your arm to get cuddles.
Cat scope: Not tested
Dog scope: She didn’t like the 2 energetic Dachshunds in her previous home. Untested otherwise.
Child scope: She would be ok with older children who can respect her space.
About:
Willow is a gentle, soft-hearted little lady who just needs a bit of time to show her true colours.
She can be timid when first meeting new people or settling into a new environment, but once she feels safe and builds trust, she blossoms into the sweetest companion.
Once comfortable, Willow becomes incredibly affectionate — she’ll happily follow you around like your own little shadow and soak up all the quiet moments by your side. Even her meow is soft and delicate, perfectly matching her calm and gentle nature.
Willow has a beautifully luscious coat, though she recently had to be shaved due to matting. She’s currently enjoying her light, “weightless” makeover, and as her fur grows back, she’ll need regular gentle brushing to keep it in top condition.
She’s not much of a playful cat and would much prefer a peaceful, quiet home where she can relax and feel secure. Willow would thrive with someone patient and kind, who understands that the best bonds take a little time — and are absolutely worth the wait.
