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.

💔🐾Rest in Peace, Bessie

Today, little Bessie closed her eyes for the last time and passed away peacefully. She was surrounded by the love and warmth of her foster family, who gave her the care and comfort she deserved.

Bessie came into our care after being advertised as a free kitten on Facebook, along with her remaining 2 siblings. Despite receiving the very best veterinary care and endless love, she lost her battle.

Our hearts are broken. This is why we continue to advocate for responsible pet ownership. Please, desex your cats. Heartache like this shouldn’t have to happen, and our team should not have to endure these losses.

Run free, sweet Bessie. You were loved beyond measure. 🌈

💔 10 Kittens found in the bush/park . The finder saw one kitten and followed it and found 10💔

We are absolutely lost for words. Today, 10 little kittens have come into our care from the Woodberry area—the same area where we rescued 4 kittens just two weeks ago.

It’s devastating to think about the possible cruelty of dumping such vulnerable animals. These kittens are far too young to be away from their mothers. Where are their mothers?

This heartbreaking situation highlights a continuing problem: the desexing message is still not reaching enough people. Until this changes, the cycle of unwanted litters and abandonment will persist.

These kittens are incredibly stressed and scared. Our immediate priority is to worm, flea treat, and assess if they are able to eat on their own.

We can’t do this without your support. Please help us spread awareness about desexing and responsible pet ownership. If you’d like to contribute toward the care of these little ones, we would be so grateful.

https://hunter-valley-cat-haven.giveeasy.org/

We are now stretched to the maximum

Together, we can make a difference.

🛑 Desex your pets. Educate others. End the cycle.

Hunter Valley Cat Haven does not have a Shelter/Facility. We post this information regularly.
We have a business address only.
We ask that you do not attend any of our private homes uninvited, this is trespassing and you can be prosecuted.
This behaviour is not appropriate and an invasion of our volunteer’s privacy.

Help Us Save Cats and Kittens in Need

The situation currently is critical, we are overwhelmed with sick and neglected kittens coming into care. Every week, we’re at the Vets and the mounting vet bills are becoming a real concern

Also Adoption fees barely scratch the surface of what it takes to provide them with the care they deserve.

We don’t receive any funding and rely entirely on the generosity of people like you. Without your support and help, we simply can’t continue this vital work.

Here’s how you can make a difference:
💖 A one-off or regular donation—as little as $5 a month—goes a long way.
💖 Your donation helps cover essential vet costs, food, formula, flea treatments, and other supplies for the most vulnerable our neonates.
💖 All donations over $2 are tax-deductible.

Every dollar counts in giving these cats and kittens a second chance at life. Together, we can continue to help the Hunter’s most vulnerable felines.

• Playful and curious: Full of kitten energy, they’ll keep you entertained with their endless zest for fun and love.
• Great with older children and have met other cats. After a short settling-in period, they could happily coexist with other cats or even dogs.

We also said goodbye to Selina after her health deteriorated rapidly on Thursday night and she was rushed to AREC . Sadly the decision was made to let her go as she was suffering and it was the kindest thing to do for her.
This is what happens behind the scenes, this is frontline rescue and at times it’s heartbreaking
RIP little one💔🐾🌈

On Wednesday Little Bessie was taken to the Vets after her carer noticed she was lethargic and not eating. She has been very unwell and remained in Hospital until today. She’s still being closely monitored by her carer as despite multiple test we still don’t know what’s wrong with this beautiful girl.
Fingers crossed that she improves

Bunny’s ideal home-a mature couple/person with a quiet home environment, no children and another friendly cat/cats.

Bunny is an adorable little girl with a beautiful personality.
She is friendly and affectionate and loves cuddles and head butts. She purrs in happiness when she is getting attention and is definitely a lap kitten. She definitely takes time to warm up to new people and when she is ready, she enjoys the attention from them.
Bunny loves to be around the other cats in her foster home and tries to get them to play with her or allow her to snuggle up next to them. She is very sociable and will always be where her foster family are.
Bunny sleeps on her scratching post, but sneaks up on her foster mums bed early every morning to snuggle in for cuddles.
She loves her food and will try to clean up the other cats dinner, but her new family will need to continue to keep her on her current diet to ensure her best health.
Due to her nature she is suited to a quiet home environment only with no children. She is now used to daily house noises, but strange loud noises or loud people scare her and she will hide.
until she feels safe, she is very playful and active and she is into everything, Bunny just loves life and she would love a family to treat her like the princess she is !

She is microchipped desexed had her first vaccination is up to date with worming and flea treatments and is life time registered.

She is available to adopt as a strictly indoor only cat, if you don’t want an indoor cat do not apply to adopt.

If you would like to express your interest in adopting this gorgeous kitten please private message us for an adoption application form.

This little kitten was found today in the Werakata National Park walking trial in Cessnock Melody and her friend were out in the park on the trail when this kitty followed them. They rescued her and contacted us for assistance. It’s heartbreaking to think she was dumped.

There are so many reasons you should buy some Raffle tickets . Here is one, of the reader, little Ollie is doing so well in care♥️

This little baby was found crying distressed and alone in an overgrown garden in Cessnock today. We thank the people that searched and found him after hearing him crying. PLEASE NOTE-this kitten is underage, he already has a registered HVCH foster carer and when his Vet work is completed his profile will be posted. We are not able to take EOI on any underaged kittens.

Hi, my name is Lili and I am writing to you with the help of my human Mum to give you an update on my life as a kitten rescued by HVCH and fostered permanently by my wonderful Mum and Dad. I was rescued a 5 months ago by HVCH along with my mum and 3 siblings. There was something special about me that stood out and after visiting the Vet, I was diagnosed with Cerebellar Hypoplasia (Wobbly Cat Syndrome). It was recommended that I be sent over the Rainbow Bridge by the first Vet I saw after I had a seizure. HVCH and their volunteer foster carers saw something in me, a determination and strong will to live so they decided to bring me home and give me a new life, a new family and a future. I am now 5 months old and in that time I have achieved more than my foster Mum and Dad could have ever imagined or so they keep telling me. They are so proud of me. I have learnt to keep my head up straight and strong, to take slow steps and not race ahead, to focus on what I want and how to get it. I have learnt to feed myself by laying sideways near my bowl so I don't fall or bang my head. I have learnt to climb and get to all the places my big sister thought I couldn't reach her. My next goal is to learn to drink by myself and not cover my bedding with water. Secretly I think my foster Mum loves me splashing for her because she always laughs when I do it. I am such an active, happy and playful kitten who deserved this second chance at life, to show everyone that I may have a wobble to my walk but I'm still worth loving and I return that love every chance I get. Thank You to HVCH for believing in me. I won't let you down. It's time for me to sign off now, I'm ready for my next adventure. Love Lili 🐾🐈‍⬛💕
