Advertising For Rehoming on Behalf of Owner due to change in circumstance
Charlie- 3 year old male, Tiffany cross. White and grey in colour.
Charlie is sensitive soul, always looking for a good smooch and cuddle.
You’ll usually find him relaxing in the warmest spot in the house.

Felix- 5 year old male, domestic short hair. Fully grey in colour.
Felix is can seem quite shy but he’s the boss.
Although he’s the boss he will never turn down a good smooch.
He’s very overly affectionate and needy but means well.
You’ll usually find him to be right behind you almost always.

Both are desexed and microchipped
I would love for them to go together as they are basically brothers.

🐾Meet Kai – The Kitten with a Big Personality!
Kai came to us at the beginning of June as a very feral little kitten, but with lots of love and patience from our amazing team, he's now ready to find his forever home!

Kai is around 4 months old and is truly one of a kind. His meow is loud and clear, especially when it's feeding time—this boy loves his food, which is why we named him Kai! He’s got an adventurous spirit and plays hard, but he’s still learning that hands are for cuddles, not for shredding.

Kai gives the best cuddles and head butts, showing just how thankful he is to have been given a chance as a beloved pet. However, he's not the biggest fan of strangers and would do best in a quiet home. He’s used to dogs but hasn't had much experience with children.

If you're looking for a unique little character to bring into your life, Kai might be the perfect match for you. He's ready to give you all the love in the world—once he’s gotten to know you, of course!Interested in adopting Kai? Send us an email [email protected].

Not only is she a sweetheart, but she also gets along wonderfully with other cats, making her an ideal addition to a multi-pet household. If you’re looking for a charming companion who will fill your home with love and playfulness, Biscuit is the perfect choice.

Meet Larry; a champion dude who’s waiting to be your new BFF. Larry came to us for desexing via the Mog and Dog clinic. Here we noticed Larry had some pretty nasty injuries so we took him in for nursing and lots of TLC. Turns out Larry loves this life, so he’s on the hunt for a furever family. Larry has a strong appetite, both for food and cuddles. Bonus, he does well with other feline friends. If you’d like to meet our young man Larry, email [email protected]!

UPDATE - Larry has made himself too comfortable in his foster home and will be moving in for good 🥹🥰

Larry came into Mog and Dog Desexing Clinic for a free community cat desex. That turned into a full uh oh moment when we saw that his back had large wounds needing cleaning out, and some time being medicated and cared for.

Larry has healed up real quick, adjusted to life as a pet, developed a demand for cuddles, and even made friends w another cat!

He's shortly up for adoption, so if you are looking for an adult cat, please email us at [email protected]

Mac can be a shy boy but don’t let this fool you; Mac wants every bit of TLC he can get! Mac adores getting cuddly with his humans, just needs a little time to get comfortable! Mac is the snuggliest of kitties, but like any mini tiger, Mac isn’t opposed to play. A quieter household would be beneficial for helping Mac settle, however with patience he does well with children. If you’d like to ensure endless cuddles and add young Mac to your family, drop us an email at [email protected]!

Meet Macaroni 🥹

We just know that Mac is going to make some little girl very happy upon adoption, we just gotta advertise him and hope his forever family sees this!

Macaroni came to us in early winter, which is odd because we shouldn't see kittens in winter! Regardless, we welcomed him with open arms and he's grown into the sweetest little fella 🥰

Macaroni is up for adoption to a home with cat experienced children, other cats, and could be introduced to a dog.

We have two cats eagerly awaiting their forever home: Ali and Baby Spice 🏡👀🐈‍⬛.

Ali and Baby Spice are incredibly sweet and loving, and we're sure their perfect home is out there 🏡. Ali is the playful and sociable one, always ready to charm his humans 😻. His confidence helps Baby Spice feel more secure. While she may be shy at first, she adores cuddles and they quickly win her over 🔑 😻❤️. These two share a special bond and need to be adopted together.

You might notice that Ali is missing an eye 👁️ 😹. Despite a tough start, he has shown remarkable resilience. He came to us with severe infections but has since recovered and now has no health issues. Ali is a true survivor 😺.

Both Ali and Baby Spice are family-friendly and comfortable around children. They don't mind being held and have not been around dogs 🐕, so a slow introduction is recommended. If you’re interested in meeting these adorable kitties, please email us at [email protected] ❤️

ADOPTED!

These two are incredibly sweet and loving, and we know their ideal home is out there 🏡. Ali is the more playful and sociable of the pair. He’s always ready to greet his humans with charm 😻. His confidence helps Baby Spice come out of her shell. Though she can be shy, she loves cuddles and they are the way to her heart 🔑 😻❤️. Because of their special bond, these two need to be adopted together.

You may have noticed that Ali is missing an eye 👁️ 😹. His confidence might surprise you because he had a tough start in life. When he came to us, Ali was battling severe infections. Thankfully, he pulled through and now has no ongoing health issues. We think Ali is a true survivor 😺.

Both Ali and Baby Spice are very family-friendly; they are comfortable around children and don't mind being held. They haven't been around dogs 🐕, so a slow introduction would be best. If you'd like to meet these adorable kitties, send us an email at [email protected] ❤️

Help Us Help Whangarei's Stray Cats 🙏🏼

Every cat deserves a loving home, but the reality is that many stray and abandoned cats are struggling to survive. Whangarei, we need your help!

Thanks to the generous support of NZCAT, we have funding to desex cats and stop the continuous cycle of unwanted litters. But to make this happen, we need volunteers who can assist with trapping.

How You Can Help:
Trap Setting: Liaise with property owners, place food to accustom the cats to the trap, set the trap, and transport the cats to the vet for desexing.
We will guide and support you through the entire process.

We don't expect one person to look after the whole district. If we can find one person per street or suburb, we can make a significant difference.

If you or someone you know has the time and energy to help, please send us a private message. Your assistance can make a significant difference in the lives of these cats and our community.

Thank you for your support!

Although nearly all of our cats from this last season have found themselves puuuurfect homes, we have 2 left still looking: Ali and Baby Spice 🏡👀🐈‍⬛.

These guys are so adorable and loving we know the puuurfect home awaits 🏡. Ali is the most playful and friendly kitty of the duo. He’s a top notch gentleman always ready to greet his humans 😻. His confidence is contagious; in Ali’s presence, girlfriend/ side kick Baby Spice comes out of her shell. Baby Spice can act shy, but cuddles are the key to her heart 🔑 😻❤️. Because of their special bond, these guys must go together.

As you may have noticed, Ali is short of an eye 👁️ 😹. His confidence may throw you off, but Ali had a very tough start to life. When he came to us, Ali was fighting some very severe infections. Thank fully, he made it back from the brink and has no ongoing health problems. Ali , we conclude, is a true survivor 😺.

Ali and Baby Spice are very family friendly- both are comfortable around children and not opposed to being held. Neither have experience around dogs 🐕, as usual, slow introduction would be best. If you’d like to meet these adorable lovers, drop us an email at [email protected] ❤️

Our Journey.

Whangarei Cat Rescue is a community run shelter, we are a small team of volunteers who spend our days fixing up the cats and kittens forgotten about and left to struggle on the streets.

We currently foster our kittens out into homes all around Whangarei, as families provide the best kind of love and care these babies need before they are adoption ready. We take in kittens from roadside gutters, rubbish bags, bushes, beaches and most of all, free to any homes posts we see on Facebook. In our efforts we hope to minimise the number of felines struggling to survive every single day across not only Whangarei, but Northland itself as we expand.

We have rescued, rehabiliated and rehomed hundreds of kittens. We have also lost some too. We actively promote running a no kill shelter which means 99% of kittens that come into our care will not be put to sleep, we fight tooth and nail to help every kitten survive and thrive. Unfortunately we don’t always get kittens early enough to save them and some die in our arms, leaving us heartbroken and feeling a failure. BUT we always remember the other five hundred plus we can and do save each year, are worth the pain of helping animals because we can.

In 2020, with the help of a local lawyer we have become a registered charity so we can expand our efforts further. We are looking to provide desexing for low income community owned cats so that we hopefully see less kittens needing our help in the following seasons. We are also looking to apply for grants and for the possibility of opening our own official shelter or pop-up adoption ‘shop’.
