We are a true no-kill shelter, and will do whatever we can, however long it takes, to find suitable, loving homes for the animals in our care.

You do need an appointment to visit now, and you must be an approved adopter.

Remember that seriously cute FIV+ boy whose picture we posted yesterday? Seriously, have you seen him? Bob’s got that rugged, artsy vibe going on with what looks like grey paint splashes all over him – totally unique, just like something out of a dream. And don’t even get me started on that adorable bob-tail. He’s definitely got that cute factor locked down.
Now, Bob’s not just a pretty face, he’s a proper giver too, always up for a cuddle or a bit of banter. He’s totally sound with the other cats, getting on with everyone, and he’s super playful. He’s the kind of cat who’ll bring all the good vibes to your villa, trust.
Alright, confession time: Bob has tested FIV+. But honestly, don’t let that mug you off! He’s still young, incredibly sweet, super friendly, and in cracking good health. He’s had all his jabs, he’s ready to graft, and he’s absolutely buzzing to find his forever home. Could it be yours?

Alright, buckle up, cat lovers! It's time for a little chat about some absolutely gorgeous singletons who are just waiting for their perfect match. No, we're not in the villa today, but we are talking about some truly special feline friends: FIV+ cats! (Like new bombshell, Bob, and islander Steinway.) Now, I know what you might be thinking. "FIV? Is that, like, a drama bomb waiting to happen?" And honestly, it's a common misconception, isn't it? But let me tell you, these little heartbreakers with Feline Immunodeficiency Virus are often living their best lives, just like any other cat. They're not looking for sympathy; they're looking for love, a comfy couch, and maybe a few head scratches. Think of FIV as something that might weaken their immune system a bit, but it's not a death sentence. In fact, many FIV+ cats live long, happy, and healthy lives with no symptoms at all! They can totally live with non-FIV cats too, as long as everyone's getting along and there's no serious scrapping. It's usually spread through deep bite wounds, so no casual snuggles or sharing water bowls are going to cause a problem here. These incredible cats often get overlooked in shelters, which is a crying shame, isn't it? They're just as playful, just as cuddly, and just as deserving of a loving home as any other cat. They might just need a little extra TLC and a regular vet check-up, but honestly, who doesn't love a bit of pampering?
So, if you're ready to open your heart and your home to a cat who might just be your ultimate island partner, consider adopting an FIV+ cat. You'll be giving them a second chance at happiness, and trust me, the love they give back is absolutely priceless. Swipe right on adoption and give an FIV+ cat their forever home! ❤️

We’ve got a text!!!!!! And spoiler alert- it’s some absolutely massive news from the villa! Remember our gorgeous, calm, and ever-so-fun boy, Liam? The one who absolutely adored his sleep and loved a good fuss from his people? The one who sometimes got a bit overlooked because he's such a chiller, but we all knew would absolutely blossom in a loving home? He hadn’t yet been featured on cat island- but was a fan favorite among the islanders and on past social media posts.
Well, get ready for this, because our incredible adoption counselors have done it again! Liam has officially found his forever home!
That's right, our lovely Liam, who found the shelter a bit overwhelming, has finally gotten his happily ever after. We just knew that once he had the chance to adjust, he'd be more outgoing and sociable, showing his true colors outside of the villa's pressures. A massive, massive well done to the adoption counselors for working their magic and getting our boy Liam coupled up for life! You absolutely smashed it, babes!

Meet Berkley: The Villa’s Most Unique Girl
Alright, mates, gather 'round because we've got a new arrival in the villa, and trust me, Berkley certainly has a story to tell!
Our gorgeous girl Berkley was found all on her lonesome on the streets, with a bit of a tricky start – she had a very damaged ear. But don't you worry, because she's a survivor! She also came with an ear-tip on her other ear, and now she's got a perfectly matching set. Talk about a transformation!
Berkley can be a real softie once you get to know her, but we’re not yet sure if she'll be happy sharing the villa with other felines. It might just be that she's happier as your one and only – a queen who reigns supreme in your heart!
The good news is, our beautiful Berkley is spayed, all her vaccinations are sorted, and she's absolutely, positively ready to find her forever home.
Could Berkley be the one to complete your family?
