Account 4545-02937 Operating since 2011, we are a co-operative of volunteer foster carers and passionate animal advocates, working together to achieve our shared vision. We have

a no-kill philosophy, with a focus on finding animals their forever homes through our Foster to Adopt Program. This program is key to our organisation’s success, as it rehabilitates our animals in preparation for their new life. We focus on:
- reducing the number of unwanted and abandoned animals through rehoming
community education
- desexing initiatives, and
- liaising with other welfare organisations

We do this with a direct purpose, which is working towards the introduction of new legislation to give greater protection to all animals. This also serves to provide further direction for other registered rescue organisations. Maggie’s Rescue cares for all our animals through our amazing network of foster carers. They provide a safe and nurturing home for animals in need until their forever home is found.

Meet Sushi 🍣, your future cuddle buddy and expert biscuit maker! 🐾 This sweet kitten is basically a purring, snuggling, heat-pack machine 🔥. She’ll happily lounge on you for as long as you’ll let her, spreading warmth, love, and good vibes only! 😻

Sushi is purrfectly confident and outgoing—she's met so many humans and kitties in her short life and can’t wait to meet even more. Whether you live in a quiet place or a busy household, she’s down for it all as long as the cuddles keep coming! 💕

Ideal Home: Sushi grew up with her sister Miso, and her dream home includes a fellow kitty (or two)! 😽 If you’re looking for double the fun, check out Miso’s profile here: https://www.petrescue.com.au/listings/1095457. If you’re a solo adopter, Sushi’s totally fine too, just promise to shower her with love!

Energy Level: I’m a kitten, so I’ve got bursts of energy that end in epic biscuit-making sessions 🥖. It’s all about balance! 💤

Kids: Sushi LOVES kind, gentle kids who’ll play with her and cuddle her through her naps (and while watching Bluey of course 🦋). Perfect for families of any age!

Cats and Dogs: I’m all about my fellow felines 😸. Not sure about dogs yet, but I’d love a multi-cat household!

Medical notes: Healthy as a fish! 🐟

So, what are you waiting for? Get your cuddles in while you can! 😽💕

🐾🥋 Meet Kung Fu – the kitten with a black belt in fun! 🥋🐾

This s***ky ginger-and-white bundle of energy is always ready for an adventure. Whether it’s chasing toys, climbing new heights, or pouncing on anything that moves, Kung Fu is living life to the fullest! 🐾

But don't be fooled by all the action—he’s also a total sweetheart. Between his ninja moves, he's a chatterbox who loves to talk and fill your day with sweet meows and big personality. 😻

💥 Kung Fu’s ideal home? A place full of fun and laughter, with plenty of room for his mischief. He’s also an indoor-only kitty to keep that adorable pink nose safe from the sun! 🌞

💖 Energy level: Kitten-high! Ready for endless playtime and cheeky adventures!

👶 Kids? He’d love a family who knows how to treat kittens with care but is ready for some fun too!

🐱 He’s a cat-lover’s dream, and would be thrilled to share his new home with feline friends (and maybe even a cat-friendly dog).

Sherlock heard you have a spare spot on your couch, could he maybe squeeze on into your home?
When I’m not on the case of searching for the fallen snack I’m a world class Cuddle Consultant. You’ll find me lounging with my humans, napping, or soaking up belly rubs. I’m as affectionate as they come.

🐾🍣 Meet Miso – the kitten with a heart full of love and a playfulness that’s off the charts! 🍣🐾

This confident, happy ball of fluff is as cute as a button and ready to steal your heart! Whether she’s cuddling up for snuggles or playing with her toys (or her sister Sushi!), Miso knows how to keep things fun and lively.

🎉 Miso's ideal home? A loving place with another cat friend to bond with (ideally her sister Sushi!) – because what’s better than double the cuteness? 😻

💖 Energy level: Kitten-level crazy! Ready to play, explore, and entertain you with her bouncy spirit!

👶 Kids, are you ready to have fun? Miso loves kind, gentle play, and would make a great family addition!

🐱 She's been raised with other cats, so she's totally cool with her furry friends, but she hasn’t met any dogs just yet.

Adoptions open: Dizzy

🐕 poodle cross
🎂 2 years old
📍Sydney NSW (adoptions open to NSW and ACT)

Despite being two years old you could easily mistake this scragamuffin for a puppy with her silly antics and enthusiasm for pretty much everything. She adores people and is especially fond of kids. Dizzy is also a social butterfly when it comes to other dogs however she still has a way to go learning manners and how to read the room on when other dogs need space. While she loves a romp in a dog park but she really would thrive in a home who can help her learn these soft skills and provide her structure and discipline in social settings. She is best suited to an active family who can match her high energy and playful spirit. Dizzy is the ultimate cuddle bug! Pick her up, and she turns into a total rag doll, melting into your arms. Unfortunately she does have some separation anxiety, so a home where she won’t be left alone for long periods would be ideal. Dizzy doesn’t really operate in moderation mode so she needs two good walks a day with some additional playtime or training sessions 😉 to keep her happy and prevent her from channeling her energy towards undesirable habits.

Think Dizzy might be the busy companion you’ve been waiting for? Check out her profile to find out more and apply https://www.savour-life.com.au/adopt-a-dog/search-now/view/89838

Adoptions open: Limpet

🐕 dachshund x French bulldog
🎂 3 months old
📍 Sydney NSW (adoptions open to NSW and ACT)

Limpet is the perfect mix of playful, affectionate, and just the right amount of sass. She got her name because she loves to be close to her humans whenever she can. While she’s been working on separation skills in foster care, she will need a home to continue this training and humans who are initially at least home more often than not to ease her into longer periods alone. This clever pup is a fast learner and has already mastered the doggy door like a pro. She adores playing fetch, zooming around with her doggy pals, and then immediately crashing into a deep, adorable nap. Limpet is a big fan of dog companions, so a home with a resident dog would be a bonus. A home with a yard and secure fencing would be preferred, but she’s a smart cookie and could adapt to apartment living with some training.

If you’re looking for a snuggly, playful, and super smart little sidekick, Limpet is ready to be your best friend! Check out her profile to find out more and apply https://www.savour-life.com.au/adopt-a-dog/search-now/view/89836

🔑 If you’re looking for a one-on-one feline companion who loves to be the center of attention, Ketchup is your guy!

🚀 Meet Rocket: The Goofball Ginger Ready to Rocket Into Your Heart! 🚀

In foster care in Alexandria, Sydney

Looking for a kitten with charm, swagger, and just the right amount of goofy? You’ve found Rocket! This fluffy ginger ball of chaos is a master of zoomies, a pro napper, and definitely the least coordinated kitten you’ll meet. Whether he's tripping over his paws or dramatically flopping for a nap, Rocket will have you in stitches. 🤣

When he’s not zooming around like a comet, Rocket loves playing hide-and-seek with his brother Thunder (his hiding spots are legendary). His favorite activity? Begging for creamy treats with the intensity of a superhero. 🦸‍♂️ And his signature move? The “I meant to do that” recovery after a clumsy moment.

If you’re after a quirky, fun-loving kitten who will keep you laughing, Rocket’s ready to blast off into your home and heart! 🚀

Ideal home: A place full of playtime, snuggles, and, of course, creamy treats (Rocket insists this is essential). 🍽️

Energy level: 100% zoomies or 100% nap—no in-between. 🏃‍♂️😴

Kids: Rocket hasn’t met any kids yet, but with the right intros, he might take them on (especially if treats are involved). 🍬

Other animals: He loves other cats and would thrive with a feline buddy. He’s untested with dogs. 🐱🐶

Bonus: Microchipped, desexed, and vaccinated—this little goofball is ready to rocket into your life! 🚀

Meet Davey: this little ray of sunshine has been stealing hearts since day one! 🌟 Cuddly, confident, and a total lovebug, she’s always ready for snuggles after a play session. 🐾

A true explorer, Davey loves her evening zoomies (join in if you can!) before hopping into bed for some well-deserved snuggles. 🛏️ During the day, she’s a nap queen on her cat tower, but touch her food bowl and prepare for her land-speed-record dash to you! 🏃‍♀️💨

Her ideal home: Davey loves having a buddy (like her brother Bootless) to hang with, so she’d be super happy with another pet to play and chill with! She’s also the perfect first pet for a family or individual—easygoing and extroverted. 🏠

Energy level: She loves playtime, especially if you’re working from home, but around 11am, it’s officially nap time. 😴

Kids: Davey’s big on cuddles and snacks, so she’d fit right in with kids who will treat her like family. 🍽️

Other animals: She’s great with other cats and could likely make friends with dogs too! 🐱🐶

Bonus: Microchipped, desexed, and vaccinated—this girl’s ready to join your family!

Meet Mariah: a true diva in fur! 😎 She knows she's gorgeous and shows affection on her terms. If you're lucky enough to be chosen, get ready to roll out the red carpet. 👑

This independent lady adores her foster feline friends and insists her forever home has at least one (two’s even better). 🐱🐱

Mariah’s journey started in a dumpster, but now she’s living the high life, with a taste for the finer things. 💅

Her ideal home: A calm, peaceful space with feline companions—no noisy humans allowed! 🛋️

Energy level: Low-key kitten vibes. She prefers grooming and lounging to playing. 😴

Kids: Older (8+) and gentle kiddos are her best match. 👶

Other animals: Cats? Yes. Dogs? No thanks! 🐶❌

Bonus: Microchipped, desexed, and vaccinated—she’s ready to rule your kingdom! 👑

06/02/2025

We always have an influx of messages Fridays - Sundays for assistance with stray cats and kittens, so we’re just reminding everyone that our cat and kitten intakes are currently closed as we are over capacity right now.

🛑 CAT & KITTEN INTAKES CLOSED UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE 🛑

Kitten season has hit us hard, and we are currently at full capacity with both our foster placements and the financial resources to care for them all. We’re receiving over 50 requests per day for help with cat surrenders and strays, and we’re doing our best to manage the cats already in our care. While we’re just one of many rescues in Sydney, we can tell you that nearly every rescue is in a similar position right now.

What can you do if you find a stray cat? First and foremost, please don’t assume that taking a cat home will automatically result in rescue support. Before stepping in, ask yourself:

- Does the cat need immediate medical attention?
- Is the cat in immediate danger?

If it’s safe and the cat is not in urgent need of care, please think before bringing it home, as we’re all stretched thin. If you do decide to bring the cat in, please visit a vet for a microchip scan to check if it’s an owned cat. Be patient as you reach out to rescues – it may take time to find help.

How can you help?

- Adopt a cat! Every adoption creates space for another cat in need.
- Foster with your local rescue if you can.
- Sponsor a desexing to help break the cycle of overpopulation.
- Be proactive: Contact rescues early, but remember they are also operating at full capacity and won’t always be able to respond right away.
- Be compassionate: Resources are limited, and everyone is doing their best.

If you’re a cat owner, please desex your cat to help stop the cycle. If cost is an issue, many councils offer low or no-cost desexing programs. It’s far cheaper to desex than to care for a litter of kittens!

Together, we can make a difference for these beautiful animals. Thank you for your understanding and support! 🙏

New faces in foster!!

We will see your one Cheddar Chipmunk and raise you his three siblings. That’s right while chipmunk arrived early due to health complications for neonatal care his three littermates were waiting in the wings with mum still. The time has come and the full litter is now in care to get ready for forever families. These husky x shepherds are little balls of fur and s***k ready to take on everything the world has to offer them and pretty soon they will be on the look out for forever families. We know that these guys will be busy and whip smart just like brother chipmunk who’s already up for adoption so if you’re an active household keen to engage in training stay tuned.

Did you know that when we intake puppies mum and dad are also desexed as part of our commitment to breaking the breeding cycle. By desexing parents of unwanted litters we can be sure they’re the last litter and also help support homes in keeping beloved pets when possible rather than surrendering into already overburdened rescue networks.

Maggie’s Rescue

Maggie's Rescue is a NFP, No Kill animal rescue group based in Marrickville in the Inner West of Sydney. We are a co-operative of carers, who are all committed to our mission, which is to save and re-home abandoned and at risk animals, initially into a warm and loving foster home until we are able to find their perfect adoptive home. 🐶🐱

Our vision is that we do this with compassion, honesty and support to all our foster carers, volunteers, adopters and the greater community.

If you are able to offer a safe home to an animal in need or if you are interested in becoming a foster carer, then you will be rewarded with lots of affection and loyalty, and a love which is unconditional and furry!

All of our rescued animal leave our care vet checked, vaccinated, microchipped, de-sexed, flea and worm treated.
