🧼 Why do we post these kinds of videos? For attention? Absolutely!
Here is an hour of my time washing 7 ringworm kittens. An hour of my own time, unpaid, just because I want to help them, just because I want to make a difference.
We may not post about all the ‘sh*t bits’, which can leave us open to criticism. It isn’t all snuggling, it isn’t all cute kitten content. Behind the scenes it can be gross, time-consuming, expensive and heartbreaking.
These 7 colony babies may not be rehomable right now, and that’s okay, that’s why we do it, because they can be, with time, effort, dedication and love, which we are ALL too willing to provide.

🆘 Monday I caught Lady Belle and Jack Dawkins. Today with the help of some friends, their 5 siblings were caught. Full of flu, worms, fleas and ringworm. Skinny, sick, suffering. ‘Just’ feeding colonies isn’t enough, it’s making it harder for us to genuinely help. Please, if you know of anyone feeding this Bargo colony, tell them to STOP, only then can we catch them and put an end to all this unnecessary pain.
Unfortunately our little Yoki didn’t make it 💔
We are absolutely gutted. He wasn’t even in care for 2 days before we knew something wasn’t right. He was rushed to the vet this morning where he passed away shortly after.
We asked our vet to perform a post-mortem. It was found he had an extremely large and severely damaged liver as well as a severely damaged gallbladder, likely caused by an infection. Nothing would have saved him. He was slowly dying.
Yoki didn’t DESERVE THIS! We will do everything to make his life worth it and report this backyard breeder.
Rest easy little guy 🐾
🧡 Sweet mumma Callie.
It’s been 147 since she entered our care. She was heavily pregnant and gave birth to 4 perfect babies. 12 weeks later, her babies all found homes of their own, yet here she is still waiting for her turn.
Callie can be quite nervous when in new environments and with new people, but as you can see, she is an absolute sweetheart when she feels safe. She will enjoy making biscuits in a quiet home without loud kids and dogs. She will rub against you for lots of chin scratches and loves unlimited affection.
Don’t look past her.
Adopting a mum who has been through so much is one of the most rewarding endings for us, and it can be for you too. Let’s get Callie a home she deserves.

Meet Pearl 🤍
Pearl joined us today from our wonderful team at @highlandsvethospital
Pearl was a stray found in the Newcastle area. As you can see she is absolutely beautiful, affectionate and stunning. Unfortunately as she was a stray she developed cancer on both her ears, which required amputation.
Tomorrow Pearl heads to @petstock_australia Gregory Hills in hopes of finding her forever home 🏡
Feel free to pop in and visit her, share her story and encourage everyone you know to adopt, giving babies like Pearl the second chance they deserve!
Kiko and babies update 🐾
Unfortunately Kiko managed to somehow escape her enclosure on Tuesday last week. We have no idea how she is extremely good at escaping and obviously doesn't like being contained. She had previously escaped a crate whilst heavily pregnant which astounded me and has since also escaped a cat trap. We thought the enclosure she was in would be safe as we could see no way she would be able to escape, but unfortunately she found a way. We left the babies there for quite some time in the hopes that she would come back for them but she didn't and it got to the point where we had to step in and begin feeding them. We will continue to look for Kiko and set some more traps in the hopes that she is still hanging around, the property she is on is a large acerage with plenty of hiding spots so we hope she is there somewhere. Its been a very stressful and exhausting week but on a positive note the babies have taken to the bottle well and are gaining weight and starting to move around and play. They are 4 weeks old today and are absolutely adorable although I am hoping they start eating on their own soon so I can go back to sleeping through the night. Keep an eye on our stories for cute kitten spam 🐱
Edited to say there is 6 babies one was hiding well 🙃Kiko delivered 5 beautiful babies late yesterday afternoon/evening. Four little gingers and a little Tortie. She is a wonderful mumma and both her and the babies are doing well. Keep an eye on our stories for baby kitten cuteness 😍🥰
🤍 Everyone meet Popcorn.
Late last night we received an email from a lovely woman who had heard tiny cries from her garden while hanging washing out, then out popped this little guy, alone and hungry. We estimate him to be an itty bitty 4 weeks old, he’s very active, very cheeky, VERY loud and already shows off beautiful purrs. He is the CUTEST little bean 🥹
Not a single application 😭
Carlisle is the most perfect gentleman. He adores human snuggles, adores cat friends and will make the best family man. Consider Carlisle.. he’ll be ready for his new home this Friday, just in time for long weekend bonding & cuddling.
🐾 4 days of Ellery, Ellis, Wren & Wilder.
Wilder still likes a hiss, but is a lot less scary. Ellis loves to play, Ellery loves to wrestle & Wren loves a snuggle.
An open message to the heartless humans who failed Florence. She’s doing great. Despite what you did to her, breeding her for profit, dumping her and putting this awful fear into her, she’ll be perfectly fine. You should know we’re picking up the pieces and the gorgeous little girl you broke is repairing. She will only know love, patience and kindness, all of the things you couldn’t show her. She will find a beautiful home with humans who deserve her, you did not.
We know one day Florence will be happy again, and we can’t wait to share that journey with you all 🤍🌼
🍂 Kiana.
MC: 991003001691558
This gorgeous little girl would love to find a forever home this weekend. Kiana is affectionate beyond belief, she adores her humans, big and small. She would love a family to cuddle with 24/7, especially now the rain is setting in. Let’s share, let’s find Kiana a home 🏡
🍼 It isn’t often we have neonates as we struggle to find the time to care for them between work and kids of our own. Here is little Felix, refusing food but smashing syringes of milk. He has gained substantial weight and is absolutely thriving with the amazing Peita. Go little Felix, go!
✨ Every now and then there comes a cat who we have a special connection with.
I’ve had a few this year, and majority of them have been adults who came from absolutely awful situations.
This beautiful girl has already stolen my heart in a short 3 days. I’m obsessed with her. She is extremely scared, but is gentle and sweet in every way possible. She wants love, I can see it, I can feel it, and love is what she’s got.
Fortunately her babies will never know fear, or hunger or pain, one day she will have her own happy ending and I just know I’m going to be a happy crying mess.
