Halloween has come early this year!

This wee cuties need to settle in, get desexed and then they'll be ready to go.

Handsome Liquorice is still on the hunt for the perfect family 🥰

The Pawrents of one of our previously adopted cats have taken in two kittens who are now looking for a loving home of their own.

This is listed on behalf, these kittens are not with Stray Whiskers.

20 weeks old These two gorgeous kitties have been rescued after being born to a stray mumma cat behind a local school. Luckily the whole family has been trap...

Meri Kirihimete from all of us!

We have a bunch of kittens who will be ready for their forever homes in the New Year. Keep your eyes out.

I still hate trapping, but I love a happy ending.

We had so much help getting mumma and her four babies reunited. Thank you to everybody who played a part in catching this sweet little family.

Rhea and her babies will be up for adoption soon.

23/11/2023

Trapping is probably my least favourite thing but with a little bit of luck and a whole lot of help we've managed to nab mumma and two of her babies.

Sweet Muffin 🥰

She's doing an excellent job of raising her own four babies, and even an extra one! Muffin will be desexed next week and will be avaliable soon to a quiet, calm home that is willing to spend the time getting her comfortable

Adoption fees and conditions apply.

It's breakfast time!

Say hello to Pancake, Crumpet, Bagel and Waffle.

These guys are still hanging out with mum, Muffin, and will be ready in a few weeks.

It's taken four months but the first of the spicy pepper kittens is ready to find a home!

Carolina is approximately 6 months old, is desexed, microchipped and vaccinated and is up to date on flea and worm.

She's good with other cats, hasn't been tested with dogs and would be good with older, cat-savvy kids.

While she's worked out how much she likes attention she'll still need time and understanding from her new family.

Message us if you're interested in adopting Carolina. Adoption fees and criteria apply.

After weeks of telling us that her safe space when she feels sick is as physically close to me as possible we've finally taken the hint and foster failed Daisy May.

She's such a special girl and even with the sleepless nights, trips to the emergency vet and stress she makes our lives better by being in it.

15/09/2023

We've been quiet here but super busy in real life, in part because of this sweet girl.

Daisy came in as part of a sick litter born to an FIV positive momma. We lost two kittens from the litter and recently Daisy decided to give us a scare.

Her white cell count got so low that instead of a marker on her chart she had a red arrow pointing off the page. She's been in and out of the vet, on different medications and we're finally making headway.

Suffice to say she's lucky she's so cute.

FIV positive kitten!

Sweet Daisy girl has just been desexed and like her mum and aunt, has come back FIV positive.

Daisy will need to be an indoor cat, she can live with other cats although there is always a chance she could pass on FIV.

If you'd like more info on Daisy, or have questions about FIV please message us.

Liquorice 🥰

26/06/2023

Liquorice (black) and Sundae (Black and White) are such a sweet Brother/Sister Duo.

Sundae is the more reserved of the two, she's shy and occasionally swears but she's got so much potential.

Liquorice will be your best friend, he likes pats and is fine with being picked up and will do anything for a treat. He's full of beans, as clearly demonstrated in his photos 🤣

They balance each other out so well 💕

Liquorice and Sundae will be avaliable for adoption soon. Adoption fees and criteria apply.

25/06/2023

We had four spicy babies join us last night. All black, all very wild and all ready to fight.

We've named them Ghost, Chilli, Carolina and Reaper as a tip of the hat to their fiery temperaments.

The Pepper kittens are a fair while away from being adopted, but we're confident they'll warm up in no time :)

A huge thank you to the people who acted so quickly when they found them!

22/06/2023

Rosie is such an adventerous wee thing. We've been waiting for her to grow into those big, beautiful eyes, but it's starting to look like it won't happen.

Sweet Mabel

20/06/2023

Mars and Nova are still looking for a home!

While they can go seperately they spend so much time together that preference will be given to adopters who can adopt them together.

Adoption Fees and Criteria apply.

19/06/2023

This handsome man is Tank! The wonderful team at trapped and desexed him and realised what a sweetheart he is!

Tank needs a bit more time to warm up before he's ready for a home, but keep an eye out.

18/06/2023

It's mlem Monday!

Dahlia is a curious, food oriented girl who needs time, love and space. She is FIV positive so will need an indoor only home.

Adoption fees and criteria apply. Avaliable soon.

11/06/2023

Mars and Nova are ready for adoption!

15 weeks old and both girls these two are desexed, microchipped and up to date with flea and worm.

They'd be perfect going together but would be happy alone. They'd suit most households. Adoption fees and criteria apply.

03/06/2023

We're always looking for ways to improve the lives of our kitties.

This week we gave them a flower pot garden and it lasted a single night because they're destroyed it 🤣 hopefully the clam shell lasts a little longer!

21/05/2023

It's desex day for the Space kittens

20/05/2023

Petunia is a such a sweetheart. She's been with us less than two weeks and has already made so much progress.

She's less than a year old and will need a special home as she's FIV positive. Petunia will be up for adoption soon, adoption fees and criteria apply.

15/05/2023

It's been a busy week or so here and we've got plenty of introductions to do.

The sweet treat kitties aren't all from the same litter but they're from the same place and have been bought in over the last couple of nights after a massive effort from the local cat trapping expert, Aaron.

Meet Honey, Toffee, Jellybean, Cookie, Liqorice and Sherbert.

14/05/2023

Newbies!

These little sweeties came in last night, thanks to Aaron Catman and his constant trapping efforts. They're part of a bigger litter and their siblings should be joining us soon.

They've been hiding under houses and running on roads for weeks. Time for lots of TLC 💕

13/05/2023

Happy Mothers day to all the cat mums!

Unfortunately we lost little Thistle.

So much of rescue is being the ambulance at the bottom of the cliff and this time around it wasn't enough.

In her last days Thistle knew warmth, comfort and safety and was loved beyond measure. She won't be forgotten.

08/05/2023

It's 3am. I've been waking every fifteen or so minutes to check my phone for missed calls.

We were at the vet from 5:30pm till just after ten. One of the new kittens is very unwell. The term "critical" has been used more times than I'd like

Thistle has had a blood transfusion overnight. She has issues with her liver, lungs and is anemic. It looks like she's been a very sick little girl for a while and it's finally caught up with her.

We're doing everything we can to try and see her through this and she's in the best place possible, under the watchful eye of the team at ARC
