Hunter Valley Cat Haven A foster care based rescue, saving local cats/kittens throughout the Hunter Region of NSW Australia. We receive no funding or sponsorship. We are all volunteers!

HUNTER VALLEY CAT HAVEN IS NOT A SHELTER/FACILITY

We are only a small Rescue with very limited resources. We work, have families, our own appointments, and commitments along with our own pets. Stray cats-The problem of stray cats is a community problem. It’s not any Rescues sole responsibility. We along with all Rescues are doing what we can! If we could we would help every cat and kitten but sa

dly we just can not! Colony cats-there are sadly colonies everywhere
We can not attend your property/work place or any other area to catch and rehabilitate- we have approximately 20 long term street cats that are not adoptable in permanent care. We can not accept anymore into our care. We DO NOT HAVE THE RESOURCES AVAILABLE. We simply can not help. Private surrenders-we are not able to take your cat in, your cat is your responsibility not ours. WE SIMPLY HAVE NOWHERE TO PUT YOUR CAT! We offer an Assisted Adoption Program to help people rehome their cats safety. Conditions apply

Picking up stray cats-we are not Council Rangers, we do not run a Council Facility
We are not able to pick up and impound stray cats. If you have trapped a cat we can not come and pick it up, nor can you drop it off. There is no Shelter/Facility. Before you set cat traps please have a plan in place as it’s your responsibility once you trap a cat, not ours! Contact your local Council for more information! Injured animals-contact the RSPCA or a Vet Practice immediately. Your cat had another litter of kitten’s-it’s your responsibility to have your cat desexed. We help with our Last Litter Program, please private message us for more details

We ask that you understand all the above and stop putting so much pressure on Rescues as we battle through another horrendous kitten season. We understand your frustration when you can’t find help. We are frustrated too as we can’t get help either. There’s only so much we can do. Rudeness is not tolerated and you will be blocked. Lastly we would like to thank our loyal supporters, without you we would simply close. We appreciate everything you do and for understanding that this is the hardest time of the year for Rescues.

Did you know you can help Hunter Valley Cat Haven continue to save cats and kittens in the Hunter area by making a one off donation or setting up a small weekly/monthly donation?
As little as $5 makes such a difference ❤️🐾

100% of all donations go directly towards our Vet accounts and the regular costs of cats and kittens in our care.

We have so many sick and neglected kittens arriving in care regularly and sadly some require multiple Vet visits and a long time in care to recover.
This a regular occurrence behind the scenes.

We are a small volunteer based organisation, no one in our Rescue gets paid and we rely solely on donations from the public to keep saving cats and kittens that desperately need our help.

There is no sponsorship or funding.
Our only source of food donations are our food bins.
Our carers often cover extra cost.

Sadly we can’t save them all but we do the very best we can for those that arrive in care and we need your ongoing support to continue.

Right now we are facing many challenges with the “cats are allowed to roam” loophole leaving so many stray, injured lost and abandoned cats and kittens on the streets to suffer and breed.
The cruel dumping of both adult cats and kittens is increasing along with the number of people asking for assistance.
We are now in a horrendous kitten season

We also face rising costs of formula food litter and flea treatments and these are just the basics we need.
Our adoption fees to do not cover our costs.

Donating helps us make a difference to the lives of cats and kittens in the Hunter Valley and keeps us operating, it’s that simple.
Without ongoing support we will close.
We are their only lifeline.

All donations over $2 are tax deductible and you will be emailed a receipt.
‼️For a receipt please email [email protected]

We exist simply because we love and want to help cats and we know our supporters do too.

What is happening to cats is so unfair, please consider taking the time to make a submission. Cats that’s are abandoned, kittens like we regularly take in to care face cruel deaths.

Councils state cats are free to roam adding to the problem.

We urgently need your help to make a submission to the Inquiry into the Management of Cat Populations in NSW, led by our MP, Emma Hurst.

Every cat deserves protection and they need your voice!

We need to show the government and organisations like the Invasive Species Council that we will not tolerate cruelty against these beloved animals. We need to demand humane solutions – not more violence.

Make a submission today, a simple statement can save cats from being unfairly prosecuted.

They don’t want to be homeless, they need a home.

📅 Deadline: 22nd November 2024

Kitten season is in full swing with an overwhelming number of requests for assistance.

This afternoon we took in 3 tiny newborn neonates, that were washed out in the recent storms losing their mum and a very sick kitten found collapsed on a door step.
Unfortunately after an emergency Vet visit little Mary gained her wings and her struggle is over.
RIP beautiful girl💔🐾🌈
Thankfully the neonates are doing well.

19/11/2024

We are currently receiving a large amount of adoption applications on some of our kittens.

Please understand that if 10 people put in applications only one will be successful.

It doesn’t mean there’s anything wrong with your application and the fact is it’s kitten season and there will be lots more kittens available.

We are only a small volunteer based Rescue doing the best we can and it takes time to prepare our kittens for the adoption process.
We want you to be happy with your new addition to your family as well.

We will have a steady flow of kittens, some hand raised and they all are fostered in the foster carers homes, which ensures they are socialised with other pets, have good house manners, are toilet trained and will be ready to comfortably settle straight in to their new homes so please keep an eye on the page.

You can submit as many applications as you like or maybe just think about applying for the less popular kittens because they too need land deserve a home🐾♥️
They are all beautiful that’s why we rescue them all.

Wendy was rescued from a country pound along with her 2 kittens.
She has a beautiful friendly affectionate nature, it’s not long after meeting her that she shows how much love she has to give.
Wendy likes to lay around, preferably up high, watching the birds outside and waiting for someone to walk past and give her some pats and cuddles.

She hasn’t been tested with other cats or dogs, she has growled when she saw a dog but that could be because her kittens are still with her.

She would require a slow introduction to other animals.

Wendy is microchipped desexed, vaccinated and is up to date with flea and worming treatments

She is litter box trained and requires a strictly indoor only home(safe catios are excellent)
If you don’t want an indoor cat do not apply to adopt.

If you would like to express your interest in adopting Wendy please private message us for an adoption application form

Meet little Twinkles, he is another of our hand raised kittens that have a special bond with people.

Twinkles is a very gentle little boy with the sweetest nature.
He will waddle up to his foster carer and wag his little tail to greet her.
He loves to play and has fun jumping in and out of the cat tunnel.
He will wrap his little paws around his foster carers legs just to let her know that he is there and when the broom comes out he is all over it trying to help.

When all the fun, games and adventures are over he seeks out a warm lap for some cuddle and purr time.

He is fostered with other friendly cats and gets on fine with them.

He is microchipped desexed had his first vaccination and is up to date with flea and worming treatments

He is litter box trained and requires a strictly indoor only home(safe catios are excellent)

This tiny little girl arrived in care this afternoon. Her condition isn’t good, if not found she would have no doubt perished. The first thing we noticed is how light she is, it’s like picking up a pice of paper.
She is so tiny.
The only way we can help stop the suffering is to get the message across-please desex your cats.

Little Harriet is one of the lucky ones, she was found all alone by some kind people and we were contacted for assistance. We thank them for caring.
We will keep you updated on her progress.
