“Time for my semi annual-reminder to please desex your cats....

12 years ago this cat was a tiny, fluffy, half starved, sickness riddled kitten.

He had fleas, worms, gunk in both ears and (as I was soon to discover) ringworm, a fungus not a worm as its name suggests that is highly contagious.

He was too young to leave his mother but nevertheless was going to a new home. He came into my care, and when I took him to the vet and discovered he had ringworm I went on to contact the people that I got him from. I was informed that they would be drowning his siblings and giving away his mum as they could not afford the vet bill and couldn't be bothered putting the time into treatment.

I ended up helping find a home for his mother and picked up his siblings who went to an amazing friend who took care of them and worked hard to make them well.

There is an amazing amount of kittens being born even as I type - in hidden places, in homes and yards and wilderness.

Not even taking into account the thousands that will be born into homes that think its 'cute' or dont think about it at all, lets take a moment to think about all those who are 'nobody’s cats' laying down in junk yards, in sheds a roof spaces, in storm drains, wrecked cars and under supermarket dumpsters. Any place that they can.

Some will be left by their mothers and will starve, become pray to larger animal’s or get eaten alive by armies of ants. More will die of exposure and disease.

Male cats will fight for to mate with the females, will scratch and bite and bleed and lose eyes and die of infections. Both will go hungry and thirsty, both will starve and fight and scrounge for food. But for every one that makes it, the cycle continues.

Please please desex your cats. Both male and female.

This is Zane and he was one of the lucky ones.”

SACR co-founder.

More than 16 million animals served during the First World War, including cats, dogs, horses, birds, camels and mules.

They were mascots, provided comfort, carried messages, transported wounded soldiers to safety, and were instrumental in moving large quantities of ammunition, food, water, and medical supplies.

On the 11 hour, of the 11th day, of the 11th month, we remember all those was served and fought for our country. 🎖️

“80grams of pure sass that fights me when I try feed him and screams at me whenever I walk by his enclosure.”

He has also escaped his enclosure since and toddled off on an adventure!

Some kittens are just born to be the centre of attention! 💅 💫

Still looking for that special person to care for these two beautiful cats.

Can you please share and help them find a home of their own?

Thank you 🙏

🏡 Permanent Foster Home Needed – Bonded Brothers, 3 Years Old 🐾

Earlier this year, two young brothers came heartbreakingly close to losing their lives. Both suffered acute kidney failure from a suspected toxin and spent two long weeks in hospital fighting to survive. With expert care and a whole lot of love, they pulled through – and now they’re stable, playful, and ready to live the good life they fought so hard for.

They’re now looking for a permanent foster home – somewhere quieter than their current chaotic foster home, with fewer cats, where they can soak up love, comfort, and peace for however long they have.

💚 About them:

• 3 years old – bonded pair (must stay together)
• Healthy and eating well
• Great with kids and dogs
• Okay with cats but a bit uppity
• No birds! (they’re very budgie-obsessed)

💉 Health notes:

Their kidney function is currently stable, but their long-term prognosis is unknown – they may have a year, or they may have ten. They’ll do best with someone experienced with (or open to learning about) kidney cats, who can love them for as long as they’re here.

You’ll need to be able to transport them to Blake’s Crossing Vet (their treating vet clinic) if needed.

🐱 Foster arrangement:

This is not an adoption – you’ll come on board with SA Cat Rescue as a permanent foster carer.

For lack of a better term, these brothers will remain SACR cats for life – loved, supported, and never without care.

All vet expenses are covered. You provide food and litter, with access to SACR support, discounted Royal Canin food, and donated supplies.

Interested? Message us to chat about the boys and see if you might be their purrfect match. 💚🐾

Foster kitty, Diva, is still growing beautifully. Kiwi fruit for scale! 🥝 😻

Name: Apple
Gender: Female
Date of Birth: 23/04/2025
Breed: Domestic Short Hair
Colour: Black
Location: PETstock Hollywood

🍎 Apple – The Sweetest Little Lovebug 🍎

Just like her name, Apple is sweet with a little crisp on the edge! This beautiful black kitty adores affection — she loves love, needs love, and truly lives for love. She’ll follow you everywhere, curl up beside you, and gaze at you with her big round eyes as if you’re the centre of her universe.

Apple is also a bit of a bossy boots – she likes to supervise your every move and make sure you’re doing things exactly as she sees fit. When she wants attention, she’ll stare you down with those enormous eyes and meow her opinions loudly. With her sleek black fur, big eyes, and shiny white teeth, she looks completely ridiculous and completely adorable all at once.

She’s still learning to keep her claws tucked in during cuddles, but it’s not aggression – it’s pure, unfiltered love. She’ll even give you gentle love bites just to remind you she’s there.

Apple would make the perfect constant companion for someone who doesn’t mind a little sass with their sweetness. She’s great with other cats, fine with kids of all ages (a little claw trimming helps!), and would likely be okay with a cat-savvy dog after a gentle introduction.

Apple is soft, loving, bossy, and full of personality – the perfect mix of sugar and spice.

People describe me as: Sweet, bossy, affectionate, full of personality
How am I with dogs? Should be fine with a cat-savvy dog after a gentle introduction
How am I with cats? Great – I get along beautifully with other cats
How am I with kids? Good with kids of all ages (might need my claws clipped!)
My purrfect home is: One filled with love, cuddles, and humans who will appreciate my sass, my sweetness, and my spectacularly silly face.

Apple's adoption fee is $140 which includes desexing, microchipping, parasite prevention, and initial F3 vaccination.

Caring for feral mummas and their babies is a very specialist field 😮‍💨

These cats 𝗱𝗼 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗰𝗮𝗿𝗲 that we are trying to help them when we work to maintain high hygiene and care standards, keep mum's stress to a minimum, monitor, heath check and socialise her babies, while also trying to keep ourselves safe in the process.

We are very serious when we say this is a 𝗱𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗲𝗿𝗼𝘂𝘀 situation for our volunteers, but we hold the same high standard of care for these murder-mummas and their littlies as any other cat or kitten that comes into SACR care.

𝗣𝗹𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗲 𝗯𝗲 𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗱 if you ask us to remove a feral pregnant cat or feral mum cat with babies from your property. It’s a lot more complicated then you may think.

Behind the scenes.

“So many people i talk to about being a foster carer for a cat rescue think it's so lovely, playing with cute kittens all day.

There is that, and it is lovely.

It's also crawling under a car retrieving a mumma cat and her newborns.

It's rushing to the vet because all of a sudden your foster kitten is having seizures that won't stop.

Today, it’s waking up to discover a neonatal kitten has passed and then stopping everything to do everything possible for another and to then simply cuddle them and cry while they breathe their last breath.”

Rest in peace, little ones. Thank you to their dedicated foster carer. These littles didn’t pass unloved, unremembered, and unnoticed.

‘Safe, warm, loved’ doesn’t always end how we want it to, but we do our best every single day.

We apologise for the delay in responding to inbox messages over the last few days.

Facebook wasn’t updating for some reason.

We will be catching up over the course of today.

In the meantime, please enjoy this kitten photo. He was as panicked about being rescued as we were when we saw all the notifications from this morning.
