It's been a little chaotic around here lately, with plenty of kitten antics, cuddles and mischief! 🐾

We started with six adorable little personalities, and now we're down to just three kittens still looking for their forever homes.

These fun-loving, affectionate babies have brought plenty of entertainment and love with them, and we'd love to see the last three find families of their own.

If you've been thinking about adding a little chaos (and a whole lot of love) to your life, one of these gorgeous kittens might be just what you're looking for! ❤️

Buster is a handsome Beaglier looking for a family to call his own! ❤️

This energetic, happy-go-lucky boy loves everyone he meets. Being part Beagle, Buster comes with a built-in sniffing superpower 👃 If there's an interesting smell nearby, you can bet he'll be following his nose to investigate! He's a typical hound boy who likes to explore the world one sniff at a time.

We tried to film a sweet little face massage video with Buster, thinking he'd be the perfect model… but Buster had other ideas! 😂 He decided it was playtime instead, and let's just say the video didn't go quite to plan. He's far more interested in having fun than being a pampered model!

One minute he’s a chilled, handsome gentleman… the next? BALL. MUST. HAVE. BALL.

Gravy’s ball obsession is no joke! His incredible drive has caught the attention of Dogs4Jobs Rescue, an organisation dedicated to giving working-breed dogs a second chance by matching them with a purpose that suits their individual needs and abilities.

Gravy may have what it takes to join their detection work program and progress towards a full-time job in that specialist field.

Whether it’s finding a job to put his natural talents to use or simply finding the right place to thrive, Dogs4Jobs aims to ensure every dog’s needs are met. We’re keeping our fingers crossed for this special boy and can’t wait to see where his big drive takes him!

Who knew being a certified ball fanatic could open so many doors? Go get ’em, Gravy!

Introducing Fritter! 🥹❤️ This adorable little goofball might be a bit shy when meeting new people, but give him a little time and patience, and you'll soon see his silly side shine through!

Fritter is looking for a gentle, patient family who will let him settle in at his own pace and show him that the world isn't such a scary place after all. He'll need people who understand that confidence takes time and are happy to celebrate all the little milestones along the way.

In return, you'll get the joy of watching a nervous little pup grow into a confident, happy companion - and we have a feeling this silly boy is going to make someone very, very happy.

POV: You’re just trying to take ONE decent photo for their adoption profiles, but they’ve decided it’s time for EXTREME PARKOUR 💀🐈💨

Blurred faces, flying limbs, zero cooperation.

Think you can handle this level of chaos? These little parkour champions are looking for homes of their own!

Our gorgeous girl Panda was surrendered to us when her kittens were just 7 weeks old, and she immediately came into heat while in our care.

With kitten season well and truly underway, we want to remind all cat owners of the importance of desexing their pets.

Signs your cat may be on heat include:
• Excessive meowing or yowling
• Rolling around and rubbing against objects
• Raising her hindquarters and moving her tail to the side
• Becoming unusually affectionate or restless
• Trying to escape outdoors to find a mate

If your cat is on heat, keep her indoors and secure. Female cats can become pregnant again soon after giving birth, and even a brief escape can result in an unwanted litter.

While kittens are undeniably adorable, animal rescues and shelters are already overwhelmed with cats and kittens in need of safe, loving homes.

Please help us reduce the number of unwanted litters by desexing your cats and preventing unplanned pregnancies.

Desexing saves lives. Be part of the solution this kitten season.

Fishcake takes biscuit making very seriously. Forget the standard sitting-up-and-purring technique - this girl likes to stretch herself out flat on her belly, extend all four limbs, spread those little toesies and get to work.

Fishcake is an absolute character, and watching her get into position for her signature belly-down biscuit routine is guaranteed to make you smile. She’s proof that there’s no wrong way to make biscuits… just Fishcake’s way 🐾

And yes, that is Fizz in the background screaming because he likes to be center of attention.

Can you help me find my way home? 🐾

This little staffy pup was found in Lithgow this afternoon and is hoping to be reunited with his family as soon as possible.

He is not microchipped and so we have not been able to get in contact with the owner.

If you believe this dog may be yours, please contact the shelter directly.

To claim, please contact Lithgow Council on (02) 6354 9999.

Proof of ownership (such as registration details, veterinary records, or photographs) will be required prior to release
