Cheyenne is a sweet, chill 6yo cat. She lived with other cats, a dog and children, so would suit most households. She's initially a bit timid/stressed with change, but then settles and bonds well. She'd be pleased with a new home at your place in time for Christmas.

Candy is a 17yo desexed, registered long-haired grey gal.

She’s a super affectionate lap cat, but self-sufficient and content to doze in her tee p*e or on an arm chair on the balcony. She likes some outside time. She gets on with other cats, has lived with a calm dog a while ago and loves children. Candy is a low maintenance, sweet companion.

She’s sprightly for her age, still able to run up and down stairs and showing no clinical signs of illness - appetite good, weight steady, toileting good etc. Due to her long fur she gets furballs, but luckily she loves being brushed. Worm/flea treatments are up-to-date. Candy is a fussy eater – Aldi or Optimum only please!

The owner is in very poor health and not able to give Candy the care she needs for the time she has left, and is looking for someone to give her the attention, and in time vet care, she deserves.

Winston is a 9½ yo desexed ginger boy.

He’s a gentle giant; very laid back and affectionate. Not a lap cat, and doesn’t really like being picked up, but will sit right up close touching you. He sleeps most of the day. His favourite TV show is The Block, and he’s quite partial to a manicure. Or is it a pedicure? Winston is an indoors only cat – the couple of times he found himself outside accidentally he was frightened and ran right back inside.

Winston has lived with other female cats at different times, is untested with dogs, but would suggest probably not, and he’ll tolerate older/calm children. Worm/flea treatments up-to-date, and no known health issues. He loves raw food, and not fussy when packaged wet food is occasionally used. Will come with litter trays, litter, food and his favourite mouse toy that he’s had since a kitten.

A very reluctant rehoming due to a change in living arrangements and him not being allowed to stay.

Buttons and Skittles - gorgeous bonded sisters - were found in some bush near Lennox Head and taken into the Vet. They've been in our care for 2½ months and are now 5 months old.

Buttons is a rumpy Manx (no tail) with weakness in her back legs and one functioning kidney. Skittles also has just one functioning kidney. But you wouldn't know it! They're both really playful, active and cuddly with normal appetites and toileting.

We want them to go together so they always have each other, and Buttons particularly continues to play; to use her legs as much as possible. We're happy to cover pre-existing condition Vet check-ups/treatment until the girls are 1yo. We'll go into more detail and provide the Vet report to anyone genuinely interested to adopt.

Our first kittens of "kitten season"... Romeo (male, ginger) and Juliet (female, black) were sighted with their mother and siblings on a property near Bangalow. Unfortunately these two were the only ones "collected" when mother cat moved the others and didn't return. Hand-raised from 1 week old, socialised with other cats, dogs and children; they're just adorable. Currently 7 weeks old and with a foster carer until they're old enough to come into the shelter. Vet work is yet to be done, but arrangements can be made to meet these babes. Why not take two..?? 😻

Kimba is a sweet 2yo cat. He's used to indoors/outdoors, other cats, and a large breed dog. He's untested with children, and due to his sensitive nature, we suspect they'd need to be quiet/calm ones, or understand when he needs his space. He's a little timid, so needs patience to settle into a new environment and get to know new people and animals... He's looking forward to a peaceful life with his new family.

Him and Willow were reluctantly surrendered due to a new rental not allowing pets.

Radley was found injured, somewhere near Casino. He wasn't chipped and wasn't claimed, so did his impound time, then was surrendered to us. He's a 4yo sweet, gentle giant, somewhat timid and can be startled by sudden movement/noises. He prefers the female cats to the males. Untested with dogs, but introduced slowly he should be ok. He'll make a lovely companion to someone in a quiet/calm household. Ready to leave us when his wounds heal and he can be desexed.

An important message...

💐 Did you know that Brunfelsia, commonly known as yesterday-today-and-tomorrow, is a highly poisonous plant? Some species in this genus contain several toxins that are known to result in neurological and cardiovascular effects.

All parts of the plant should be considered highly poisonous, especially the berries. Dogs seem to be particularly attracted to the berries and flowers; however, poisoning has also been reported in cats, birds and cattle that have ingested this plant. Brunfelsia is starting to flower now, and fruiting will occur from late summer into early winter.

Early signs of poisoning in dogs and cats include drooling, vomiting, diarrhoea (may contain berries and other plant material) and coughing or sneezing episodes. These symptoms can then be followed by agitation, difficulty walking, tremors, and seizures. Changes to the blood pressure and heart rate may also occur. These signs are generally seen within a couple of hours of ingestion, however in some cases may be much more delayed.

It is best to keep dogs well away from these plants. When pruning them, be mindful that pets do not get access to the cuttings. Any ingestion of this plant should be considered life-threatening and expert advice sought.

☎ If your pet has chewed on or ingested any part of a Brunfelsia plant, please contact us on 02) 6684 3818.

Whispurr is a whisp of a gal. Perhaps just 6 months old, or possibly a small 9 months old... She has a glorious long coat, with big bushy tail, and mint green eyes to get lost in. She's a little timid at first, but very friendly once she knows you. She was living with other cats, but so far hasn't met the other cats in the shelter. Untested with dogs. Ready to leave us at the end of August once her vet work is done. How can you resist this pretty kitty?

Harlequin, so-named because he has white with random black dot fur and a black tail, is approx 18m old. He was a stray, befriended by a kind family and brought into the local Vet. After his impound he came to us. He's super affectionate, loves people. So far he's doing ok with the other cats. Untested with dogs.
The marks on his nose are pigment, but his new owner would need to be careful with sun exposure to his white/pink nose and ears. Ready to go late August. This guy is going to be a wonderful family pet.

University of New England is working on a study of GPS collaring of cats as a part of the education section of the RSPCA's Keeping Cats Safe at Home project. They are hoping for 25 volunteers from residential areas in both Byron and Tweed LGA.

Cats must be able to free-roam, but they would like a mixture of those that roam far and those that stay close to home. Cats will have a GPS on a harness for one 14 day period. Day one is in the next 4 weeks.

Merlin is a magnificent 1yo RagDoll x tabby. He was surrendered because he had become unfriendly towards his owner who is going through mental health challenges. He's good with children, but is untested with other cats and dogs. He's currently separate from the other cats until we can assess. There's a lot of grey happening in this photo, but no doubt about it; this cat will brighten up your life with his lovely character.
