Oscar's Rescue & Rehabilitation

02/04/2025

We are hosting two adoption day events this weekend to celebrate National Pet Day with PetO! Catch us at PetO Thomastown on Saturday and PetO Melton on Sunday, both days from 10am-3pm. 💙💛

We will have a mix of adorable kittens and beautiful adult cats there on the day. If you’re interested in adopting then come in to say hi. If not, feel free to pop in anyway to dose up on your cat cuddles 🥰🐱

You can find the pages for both below:

Congratulations to Tido on being our 200th adoption! He was adopted together with a kitten called Mushroom and we are excited for them to embark on their new life together! This is a bit of a belated celebration post because we are now at 212 adoptions following yesterday's adoption day event. It is so heart-warming seeing our once scared kitties go to loving homes ❤️

Thank you to all of you who decide to adopt and not shop!

***Update*** Due to forecasted lightning storms, this Sunday's Colour Frenzy is cancelled and will be moved to the 4th of May.

We need help to raise funds to pay for mumma Xena’s ACL surgery! 🐱🏥
If you can lend a hand or donation of any amount please let us know. 🙏🏼

The biggest way you can help out is by volunteering with us at Colour Frenzy! 🌈 We are proud to be their rescue partner for the event, and so we will be running a sausage sizzle to raise funds. 🌭 If you can't barbecue, you can still help out by helping with check-ins, manning bubble and colour stations, pack down and clean up etc. We need all hands on deck so please share the word if you know anyone who could volunteer!

If you can’t volunteer, the next best thing you can do is visit us or send us a donation! 🐈 BSB 923100 Acc 30161632

Check out our official event
here! If you’re interested in volunteering, please send us a message and we’ll answer all your questions! 😊

Mumma Freda ♥️
Our shy girl has been looking after her kittens and it’s now time for her to be looked after.
She is looking for a home that has time and patience to give and she will reward you with so much love.
Her foster mum adores her and steals cuddles when she can but needs the consistency of a forever home to feel safe.
Please share or reach out if it’s you!

***ADOPTED***

Did you know that the least adopted cats are black and white short hairs? It is not pure black like many people believe. In fact, black has become quite popular.

To avoid our sweet tuxedos continuing to grow up in foster care, we have heavily discounted their adoption fees.

You can adopt adorable Dana for only $180!

It’s time this sweet little four month old girl went to her forever home. She loves people and will shyly approach you for a pat. She is an adorable black/white tuxedo with a short black stripe...

Rescue gets very expensive sometimes, and we could really do with your support to help share the load.

This is Clyde. He had to undergo an amputation due to a mangled toe. We were so fortunate he could be attended to within hours because he was clearly in pain.

Clyde's surgery cost $2500 and we do not get any government funding. Right now the books are well and truly in the red, and if you can spare a donation, however small, it would alleviate some of the financial stress, and we would greatly appreciate it!

Clyde is a little too small to leave just yet, but if you are interested in adopting this smoochy little boy once he is ready in a couple of weeks, please reach out.

Wishing everyone a belated happy new year!

This festive season has us reflecting on everything we are grateful for... and it is a lot!

Thank you to the pet stores who hosted adoption days and/or donated products - Petstock Sunbury, Sunbury Stockfeeds, Petbarn Maribyrnong, Petbarn Thomastown and Best Friends pet store Thomastown.

Thank you to all the private donators and also Animal Rescue Cooperative (ARC) Greater Melbourne, Pet-Lab, Biocat, First Leaf cat litter, Elite Cat Litter, and the attendees at Colour Frenzy.

Thank you to our compassionate vets - Dr Michael Beattie (our mobile vet), Lower Plenty Veterinary Clinic, Wyndham Community Vet, The Vet Project, Laverton Veterinary Clinic, Vetcare Hawthorn, and Westside Community Desexing who have sadly closed (we miss you!)

Thank you to our wonderful foster carers, volunteers and adopters. We tripled our adoption numbers in our second year of operation thanks to you!

Thank you to our rescue colleagues for your mentorship, friendship and being our ear to complain to, and our shoulder to cry on. You know who you all are, and we will be fighting the stray cat epidemic alongside you in 2025 and hoping that... however long it takes... one day we CAN save them all.

***Adopted***

Percy is looking for love. His owners were getting divorced and decided to put him down. The amazing local vet convinced them to surrender him instead. They are donating their services to give him a dental clean and eyelid surgery to fix his entropy. He is on a diet to shed some weight. New Year, New Percy! He just needs a new home too! Please apply at https://www.petrescue.com.au/listings/1087080

Percy was brought to a vet clinic to be euthanised because his owners were getting divorced and neither of them wanted to keep him. The kind vet convinced the owner to surrender him instead so...
