Tom and Ollie’s Cat Sanctuary

10/09/2021

On the first night of lockdown, permanent sanctuary cat little Moe went outside to do a little dig in the garden. Moe never came back. Moe is a real home body, and only ever ducks out to do his business, before shooting back inside for more lap naps, and cuddles. Moe's absence was noticed within 30minutes. We thoroughly searched the house, and went out with torches. The family didnt sleep that night. The next morning we went under the house, into the ceiling, on the roof, in the barn, we walked streets, distributed 'missing' flyers, canvassed social media and the internet. Moe has never been found or sighted since. We are appealing to the public to help us find him. Moe is a friendly young cat approximately 5mths old small build, black and white, with a lopsided moustache marking. Please if you here of anyone who suddenly acquired a kitten fitting his discription during lock down for company, let us know. Please share and help us bring Moe home 🙏

It is with a heavy heart I announce the closure of Tom and Ollie's cat sanctuary.
This heartbreaking decision has been made due to lack of funds, lack of people wanting to adopt, adoptions repeatedly lined up and cancelled, not enough foster homes, and the founders moving into full time work and further commitments.
We thank those of you who have supported us through our efforts to rescue the many cats in need, those that adopted through us, shared our page and cheered us on. Our foster homes Marlies, and Donna, my partner in this chaos Robyn, and our mentor Bee from Rodneys Rescues. I can not thankyou all enough!
I may return to it later down the track once the kids have grown and unable to get attached, and I have a better plan in place to support the sanctuary. But for now the sanctuary will be closed to the public, and the cats in care will be formally adopted by us and able to live out their lives in a family enviroment with lots of love, and care.
Much love Anita and the cats :)

We have made have made the hard call to not take in anymore kits at present. A lot of our foster homes have big changes in their lives with jobs and illness. And I'm at my kit limit myself. So current focus is on existing kits and finding their forever homes. If you are looking for a new furever friend, have a look through below. Please remember kits are not released to their homes till they are desexed, chipped and vaxxed with a fresh deworm and deflea on board. We charge $120 adoption fee, which only just covers their basic vetting, you are welcome to pay fees off prior to adoption day.

It's the quick and the dead around here at dinner time. Apparently I am not the quick. New kit on the block Moe swooped in out of nowhere and stole my corn cobb. Believe me they are not starved, this chap just has terrible manners😆 p.s while I was trying to get this one off him, his sister, Sassy, stole the other one 🤣

New arrivals! Meet Moe and Sass. Moe is a little boy with a sideways white moustache, and Sass is a little girl. They are estimated around 9weeks old. Very social, friendly and playful. They are each seeking a food sponsor while in care. Food sponsorship is generally a one off donation of $30 per kit, but if you wish to donate more we wont say no 🤗

Ok team, we truly need your help! Milly and molly are the longest staying kits we have ever had in residence, they are desexed microchipped and ready to go. Help us spread their faces over facebook to help them find their forever homes. Share with your fb friends your groups. Their happy ever after is out there somewhere, maybe they just dont know about our lovely girls yet🤗

Salem update from Marlies🤗 if you would like to meet Salem, message the Tom and Ollie's team 🤗
'he's doing very well. The last few weeks have really brought out his playful side and no one and nothing is safe from him. Not even our senior cat who isn't nearly as interested in him as he is in her (he's not getting the hint that hissing means stay away 🤣)
He has developed into a (kinda) confident young boy and he's not remotely as skittish as what he used to be.
Today was the first time he had the patience to actually lie down on me, normally he's too busy chasing things 🤦‍♀️.
So long story short, I retract my earlier statement about not getting along with other cats, I actually think he's looking for a playmate 😆. We can also cross loud noise off the list, as long as he's settled down he's not minding them now. I probably still wouldn't let him out tho, just to bear on the safe side. He's developed a strange obsession with playing with water. Anything that holds the stuff he has to put his paws in, water bowl, dishes in the sink, soaking paint roller, water can and lately the toilet. Certainly never gets boring with him around 😏Dog are still a no go though.'
Thanks Marlies he sounds like a real character, great to hear hes come out of his shell!
