If you're looking for a cat who's equal parts cuddly, social, and downright lovely, let us introduce you to Milo 💛🐱

This handsome 1‑year‑old silver tabby is the kind of cat who wants to be part of the family. He rarely hides, loves being around his people, and can usually be found keeping someone company in whatever room they're in.

His favourite time of day? Nap time 😴 That's when Milo transforms into a professional cuddle expert, happily curling up on his humans for a snooze.

💛 Why Milo is such a catch:
➖ Social, gentle, and affectionate
➖ Loves children and has lived happily with kids under 10
➖ Fully litter trained
➖ Enjoys pats, company, and being involved in family life
➖ Greets his humans in the morning like the perfect little alarm clock
➖ Loves lounging on the windowsill watching the world go by

😸 A Few Milo Quirks:
➖ Occasionally decides his water bowl needs redecorating and splashes it around
➖ Comes up to the bed every morning to say hello
➖ Loves his cardboard scratcher and keeping his claws in tip-top shape

🏡 Milo's Ideal Home:
A loving family looking for a friendly, easy-going companion who enjoys affection but isn't overly demanding. Whether you're relaxing on the couch, getting ready for work, or enjoying a lazy Sunday morning, Milo will be nearby making life a little brighter.

Milo is the kind of cat who quietly becomes your best friend before you even realise it's happened 💛

UPDATE: Pepper has now been adopted 🎉🎉🎉

🍻🐾 Looking for the purrfect Friday pub pal? Pepper is your girl! 🐾🍻

While everyone else is heading to the pub for a Friday catch-up, Pepper is already there... making new friends, collecting pats from the locals, and soaking up all the attention she can get 👀🐱

This gorgeous 1‑year‑old black beauty isn't your average cat. Pepper is a confident little adventurer who happily wears a harness, enjoys car rides, and has even joined her foster carers on trips to the pub. She's social, relaxed, and loves being wherever her humans are.

In fact, "Velcro cat" might be the most accurate way to describe her. If you're on the couch, Pepper will be there. If you're in bed, Pepper will be there. If you're heading out for an adventure, chances are Pepper would like to come too 💛

🍟 Why Pepper is everyone's favourite pub companion:
➖ Expert lap warmer
➖ Professional cuddle enthusiast
➖ Loves pats from absolutely anyone willing to provide them
➖ Happy travelling in the car and exploring on her harness
➖ Friendly, confident, and easy-going
➖ Believes all meals are a team activity

🍔 Fun facts about Pepper:
➖ She loves food almost as much as she loves people
➖ At exactly 6pm, she'll passionately remind you that dinner time is approaching
➖ Her favourite place to sleep is curled up in your lap
➖ She's mastered the art of looking adorable until snacks magically appear
➖ She has a habit of charming complete strangers into becoming her newest fans

Whether you're looking for a couch companion, an adventure buddy, or a furry friend to join you on outings, Pepper is ready to fill that role with enthusiasm, cuddles, and a healthy amount of food-related commentary 😹💛

This sweet little shadow cat is looking for a forever home where she can be part of the family, join in the fun, and spend her days glued to the people she loves.

DISCLAIMER: Responsible cat ownership is important and no bar tabs were opened in the making of this post. Pepper's Friday night consisted of lactose-free cat milk, pats from locals, and an early bedtime 😴

UPDATE: Brock has now been adopted! 🎉🎉🎉

🌟 Meet Brock — Professional Napper, Part-Time Adventurer, Full-Time Good Boy 🌟

We’ve been trying to gather photos of Brock doing exciting things... but almost every photo we have is of him asleep 😴💙

On the couch? Sleeping.
On his bed? Sleeping.
After a walk? Sleeping.
Near his humans? Definitely sleeping.

But when he’s awake, Brock is a loving, affectionate Staffy who simply wants to be part of the family. This handsome boy adores his people, loves making doggy friends, enjoys exploring on walks, and is happiest when he can be close to those he loves.

💙 Why Everyone Falls for Brock:
➖ Affectionate, cuddly, and people-focused
➖ Loves other dogs and enjoys canine company
➖ Becoming more playful every day as his confidence grows
➖ Enjoys walks, sniffing adventures, and tasty treats
➖ Settles beautifully at home
➖ Equally happy joining in family activities or having a long nap afterwards

Brock can happily relax at home on his own, but he does carry some past trauma around being confined in garages or behind closed doors. These situations can make him feel anxious, so he’s looking for a family willing to continue helping him build confidence with patience, understanding, and lots of love.

🏡 Brock's Perfect Home
➖ A family who'll include him in everyday life
➖ Plenty of cuddles and companionship
➖ Regular walks and sniffing adventures
➖ A calm, supportive home with consistent routines
➖ A friendly canine companion would be a bonus

Brock isn't asking for much. A comfy bed, a loving family, a few good walks... and approximately 18 hours of sleep a day 😴💙

If you're looking for a loyal companion who will reward your kindness with endless love, Brock might just be the perfect addition to your family.

UPDATE: Panda has now been adopted! 🎉🎉🎉

🐼🖤 FROM STREET CAT TO PROFESSIONAL CUDDLER – MEET PANDA! 🖤🐼

When Panda first arrived with us as a lost cat, it seemed he'd been fending for himself for quite some time. Understandably, he was wary of people, didn't want to be approached, and certainly wasn't interested in pats. Once he settled into foster care, his true personality began to shine. Within days, he had traded life on the streets for sleeping in bed with his foster parents, and he hasn't looked back since!

These days, Panda is a big softie who loves having a comfortable place to curl up and spend time with his people. He has fit beautifully into his foster home, getting along wonderfully with the resident cats. As for the dogs? He likes to pretend he doesn't like them... but he's often caught snoozing right beside them when he thinks nobody is watching. 😂

He has even become so comfortable that he allowed his foster mum to dress him up for Halloween! 🎃

🖤 Why You'll Love Panda

✨ Sweet and affectionate once he feels safe
✨ Loves curling up with his people
✨ Great with other cats
✨ Calm, relaxed, and easy-going
✨ A true success story who just needed a second chance

Panda is looking for a family who will give him the love and security he deserves. In return, you'll gain a loyal companion who will happily spend his days napping, lounging, and soaking up all the comforts of home.

💰 Panda's adoption fee is just $50 and he comes desexed, microchipped, vaccinated, flea and worm treated, and lifetime registered.
