Animal Rehoming Cairns and Tablelands District Animal Rehoming Cairns and Tablelands District is a Private Rescue Group with breeder identificatio

Animal Rehoming Cairns and Tablelands rescues companion pets such as cats, kittens, dogs and pups from our local pounds in and around the Tablelands and Cairns. ARCAT may offer to protect these pets in foster homes until the right forever homes are found or, we may encourage owners to foster should they require their pets to be rehomed. All our cats and kittens must be adopted into "indoor only" h

omes except in some very special cases. All our pups and dogs will only go to homes with appropriate fences. Please visit our web page http://www.artablelands.com.au

Our aim is to stop the cycle of unwanted pets through desexing and by raising awareness why owners should desex their pets to help prevent the high rates of euthanasia in our pounds and reduce the pressure on rescue groups. Animal Rehoming Cairns and Tablelands District is based in Far North Queensland but we have rehomed many pets right around Australia as far west as Perth and south to Melbourne. We use Dogtainers to move our rescues wherever they are wanted. All our cats, kittens, dogs and pups are microchipped, vaccinated, desexed, wormed and flea treated before they leave our care, which can be arranged at an early age. Cats over 6 months of age are tested for Feline immunodeficiency virus and dogs over 6 months are tested (and treated if necessary) for heart worm. Animal Rehoming Cairns and Tablelands District is a private group operating on private funding, so we appreciate very much the assistance of our vet partners Ulysses Veterinary Clinic and Southside Vets, together with Cairns Animal Welfare. We also thank Tableland Regional Council, Mareeba Council and Cairns City Council for their implementation of policies that allow ARCAT to operate as a foster based group.

ABOUT LOGIE

Meet Logie, previously known by his racing name, Balfe Street Boy. This delightful Greyhound is a true people pleaser who thrives in the company of humans. With a great personality and loving disposition, Logie is ready to become an integral part of your family, following you around with unyielding affection and playful curiosity.

Affectionately referred to as a "velcro dog," Logie has a proclivity for sticking close to his humans wherever they go and he is especially fond of children. Whether you're moving from the living room to the kitchen or stealthily attempting to sneak a snack past him, you can expect Logie to be right there by your side—or perhaps attempting to claim a spot on your couch or bed! His loyalty is evident in every wag of his tail and the way he eagerly comes when called.

Though this early riser can’t always resist the allure of stealing snacks, you’ll find that Logie respects your boundaries with a gentle reminder of “no.” He’s making great strides in his learning process and improving his manners day by day. Logie gets along wonderfully with other dogs, making him a potential canine buddy for your current pet, but his ideal home has no cats. And while he hasn’t been tested with birds, his playful spirit suggests he might be too curious for their liking.

Logie is fully house-trained, having been desexed, microchipped, flea, tick, and worm treated, as well as vaccinated and tested negative for heartworm. Preferring the freedom of a dog-proof backyard, Logie will enjoy the space to romp and relax, giving your garden a touch of lively elegance with his sleek appearance.

Logie already has all the charm and loyalty you could ask for in a canine companion, and he’s ready to share his vivacious spirit and endless love with his new family. If you’re seeking a devoted furry friend who will fill your life with joy, look no further than Logie, your soon-to-be best pal.

Ziggy is a 9-year-old Jack Russell x West Highland Terrier with a spirited heart and a strong sense of loyalty. She’s desexed, microchipped, and fully treated for fleas, ticks, and heartworm. While she’s not a fan of other dogs, she adores older children and adults, and will happily curl up beside you on the couch for hours. Ziggy is crate-trained, toilet-trained, and confidently uses a doggy door. She’s independent enough to be left alone without separation anxiety, making her a calm and reliable companion.

Bailie is a 9-year-old Maltese x Poodle with a gentle nature and a love for snuggles. Like Ziggy, he’s desexed, microchipped, and up-to-date on flea, tick, and heartworm treatments. Bailey thrives in a peaceful environment and enjoys the company of older children and adults. He’s crate-trained, toilet-trained, and uses a doggy door with ease. Bailey is content to nap while you’re out and will greet you with a wagging tail and warm eyes when you return.

Together, Ziggy and Bailie create a wonderful blend of energy and tranquility. Often seen chasing and playfully wrestling with each other, their bond is full of character and dramatic flair—a testament to their deep friendship. When the playtime excitement wanes, you’ll find them resting side by side, peaceful and content.

In search of a home with dog-proof fencing, Ziggy and Bailie would thrive as the only pets, showered with love and attention from a family who appreciates their company.

***ANOTHER URGENT CALL FOR HELP ***
Elvis is in need of temporary accommodation for two weeks from this Friday. At the moment he's in Edmonton but his foster carer needs us to help out for two weeks. Elvis is NOT dog friendly and we don't know how he would be with cats so this is quite difficult. He might be OK with larger female dogs, but definitely not male dogs. He was severely damaged as a pup and is fear aggressive now towards males. Here's his description. If you think you or anyone you know could put him up for a fortnight, please let me know asap as we're running out of time.

ABOUT MARMALADE

Meet Marmalade, the petite greyhound with a big personality and an even bigger heart! Also known by her racing name Harra's Marmalade, (although she's never really had a career on the track, she is a delicate soul weighing in at a mere 22 kg, which makes her quite compact for her breed. Marmalade sports a pretty face and pricked ears that add to her endearing charm.

It is important that Marmalade find a home with a doggy companion, preferably another Greyhound although not essential as she does warm to other friendly dogs. She is such a young little girl with much to learn and an older, calm companion will ensure that her confidence and true nature continue to develop. For this reason also, we're looking for a family who won't all be working for long hours every day so that she is not home without her family for more than a couple of hours at a time.

Marmalade is a gentle sweetheart who may start off a little timid, but her friendly disposition quickly shines through. She is as energetic as she is graceful and loves to play with fluffy toys, often taking them to bed as her cherished companions. Her impeccable manners extend to mealtime, where she eats with poise, never gulping her food. Marmalade is a social butterfly who gets along beautifully with dogs of all sizes, and she's proven to be cat-friendly, making her an ideal addition to a multi-pet household.

A well-behaved lady on the leash, Marmalade enjoys her walks as much as the cuddles she seeks beside you. She excels in responding to calls, ensuring she's never far from the heart of any action. Her dedication to her human companions is evident through her loyalty and love for staying close. Whether she's lounging by your side or showing off her playful spirit, Marmalade is set to steal your heart with the wag of her tail and a tender nuzzle.

Marmalade is fully prepared for her new journey, having been desexed, microchipped, flea, tick, and worm treated, vaccinated, and heartworm tested negative. For your peace of mind, she is acclimatized to indoor life, as she finds solace in an environment with dog-proof fencing to ensure her safety. Fill your home with warmth and affection by welcoming Marmalade into your life. With her, every day is bound to be an adventure filled with love, laughter, and the companionship of an extraordinary furry friend.
