Hunter Valley Cat Haven

A Hunter foster care based rescue, we do not have a Shelter. Cats are fostered in carers own homes. 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.

Happy update💕
Shy or timid cats aren’t broken — they just need the right home.

With patience, time, and understanding, these special souls settle in beautifully. The reward? A lifetime of love and trust.

We’re so happy to share that Squinty found her perfect home on Friday! We even received a beautiful update from her new family that warmed our hearts.

We still have shy older kittens looking for their own happy ending. They’re available for adoption for just a $100 donation towards their vet work.

These cats have been through so much — from being cruelly dumped to dreaming of a safe, loving home. If you have a quiet environment, are experienced with timid cats and are considering adopting, please give them a chance. They truly are something special.

📍 Fostered in the Newcastle area
💰 Adoption Fee: $250 (includes lifetime registration)
🕒 Approximately 10 weeks old

Say hello to Micky a sweet and spirited little boy bursting with kitten energy and charm! This playful adventurer loves nothing more than darting through the house, playing tag with his sibling, and launching sneak attacks from his favourite tunnel hideout.

Micky is the ultimate helper when it comes to sweeping—he will supervise every move to ensure you’re doing it just right! He will chase anything that moves and thrives in a home where he has toys to keep him busy and people to engage with.

While Micky loves affection and enjoys your company, he is not a “Velcro kitten”—he is independent and confident, with a zest for life that’s simply contagious. He gets along well with calm, friendly cats and will come running when it’s mealtime.

🐾 Micky comes:
• Microchipped
• Desexed
• Vaccinated (1st vaccination)
• Worm and flea treated
• Litter box trained

🏡 Micky requires a strictly safe indoor-only home.

🌑 Available for Adoption – Meet Shadow! 🌑
📍 Fostered in the Newcastle area
💰 Adoption Fee: $250 (includes lifetime registration)
🕒 Approximately 10 weeks old

Say hello to Shadow, a lively and charming little boy full of personality! This curious and confident kitten is always on the move—whether he’s chasing toys, zooming through tunnels, or sneakily pouncing on his sibling during a game of tag.

Shadow is an explorer at heart. He loves discovering new spots to hide, climb, and play in, and would thrive in a home where he has plenty of toys and stimulation. He’s not clingy but loves company, often appearing out of nowhere to join in on the fun—or a snack.

While he’s energetic and bold, Shadow has a gentle side too. He’ll happily curl up nearby once he’s worn himself out from all the excitement. He gets along well with other calm, friendly cats and has been raised with love and care in a foster home.

🐾 Shadow comes:
• Microchipped
• Desexed
• Vaccinated (1st vaccination)
• Worm and flea treated
• Litter box trained

🏡 Shadow requires a strictly safe indoor-only home.

🌟 A Huge Thank You! 🌟

We would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to the Rotary Club of Singleton for their incredibly generous donation of $500. ❤️

We are beyond grateful for your support. This donation has gone directly onto our vet account, helping us continue to provide essential care for more cats and kittens in the Singleton area.

🐾Their hope begins with our compassion❤️

Last week resident dog Finn, who is only 11 months, calmly gave his first blood donation.🩸💉 Something only a small number of dogs can do—and in doing so he showed just how far dedication can take a breed that many people still misunderstand. One donation like Finn’s can help save up to three critically ill dogs, and he’ll be back every three months to do it again.

Signing a dog up isn’t simple: donors must weigh at least 20 kg, be under 7 and in perfect health, and—hardest of all—stay completely relaxed while the team shaves, swabs and finds a vein.
Getting a Maremma to that point takes hard work. These dogs are bred to think for themselves and guard livestock, and their independence means they’re rarely a good fit for novice owners. Give them the right start and the right tools, though, and they’ll smash every “untrainable, stubborn and aggressive” stereotype.

We’re proud to call Finn ours and watch him grow into a brilliant breed ambassador. Huge thanks to Singleton Veterinary Hospital for always taking such great care of the animals from Hunter Valley Maremma Haven and Hunter Valley Cat Haven—your support means the world. 🐻‍❄️🤍

❤️Update – Thank You for Your Incredible Support!

We’re thrilled to announce that we have purchased a life-saving intensive care unit for our rescue. This is only possible thanks to the amazing generosity of everyone who donated towards the cost. We can’t thank you all enough.

We have been overwhelmed with neglected and seriously ill kittens arriving in our care. We truly believe this unit will help us save lives. While this is a huge step forward, we’ll continue to fundraise for the other essential equipment we still need.

A little about us:
Hunter Valley Cat Haven receives no government funding or corporate sponsorship. We are entirely volunteer-run. 100% of all donations go directly to caring for the cats and kittens who need us.

We are a Registered Charity, and all donations of $2 and over are tax deductible.

We are foster care based Rescue-we care for cats and kittens in our own homes-we don’t have a Shelter/Facility

We rely solely on donations to keep rescuing the cats and kittens who find themselves in desperate need. Without ongoing support, we simply could not continue.

Since 2013, we have been advocating for better treatment of cats and kittens in our community. We do this for one reason: we love cats.

Thank you for standing with us and helping us give them the second chance they deserve.

🐾 Urgent Help Needed for This Brave Little Lady 🐾

This sweet young cat (around 1 year old) urgently needs our help. She was living as a barn cat and was reportedly attacked a few days ago, then went missing before returning badly injured.

She has a severely broken right hind leg with a puncture wound, likely caused by trauma such as being hit by a car or a dog bite. Sadly, the damage is too severe to save the leg, and amputation is her only option for a pain-free future.

The property owner simply couldn’t afford the costs of treatment and made the difficult decision to have her euthanised. However, they were happy for her to come into our care so she could receive the treatment and surgery she needs instead.

When contacted by our friends at Singleton Vet Hospital and asked if we could take her, we couldn’t say no. Even in pain and very stressed, her gentle and affectionate nature shone through.

✨ We need to raise approximately $1000 towards her surgery (scheduled for tomorrow) and her aftercare. Every dollar helps us give her the second chance she so desperately deserves.

She also needs a name! Please share your suggestions in the comments to help show her how loved she already is. 💛

Hunter Valley Cat Haven

BSB - 062813
Account number - 10410519

Donations $2 and over are tax deductible

She will also need microchipping desexing and vaccination at a later date and will be available for adoption as a strictly indoor only cat.

Thank you so much for your kindness and support.
Hopefully we can come together to help this beautiful girl get the second chance she needs.

🐾Their hope begins with our compassion♥️

Meet our gorgeous girl Winky!

🐾 READY FOR ADOPTION – Penguin 🐾
Special Adoption Fee: $100 Tax-Deductible Donation Toward Vet Care
Age: Approx. 5 months

Meet Penguin – our handsome little gentleman in a perfectly pressed tuxedo! 🖤
He was one of ten tiny kittens cruelly dumped, left to survive on their own. After some extra TLC and time to heal from the trauma, Penguin is now ready to find his forever home.

With his magnificent whiskers and cheeky charm, Penguin is a joy to watch. He’ll playfully dart away just for the fun of being chased – but he can’t resist the temptation of treats or a tasty meal for long. 😉

While Penguin can be a little aloof at times, this makes him the ideal companion for someone not looking for a clingy, Velcro cat. He’s well socialised and enjoys the company of other friendly felines — in fact, he’d be great company for another socialised, friendly cat, especially in a home where his humans are out during work hours.

He loves to play, explore, and has a naturally curious and active nature.

Penguin’s ideal home:
🏡 A calm, child-free environment
🐾 Experienced cat person(s) who understand shy or independent cat behavior
⏳ A patient home that will allow him to settle in at his own pace
🚫 Indoor-only lifestyle required – catios encouraged!

⸻

✅ Microchipped
✅ Desexed
✅ 1st vaccination done
✅ Free lifetime registration
✅ Litter trained
✅ Flea & worm treated

If you think you could offer Penguin the safe and loving home he deserves, please send us a private message for an Adoption Application Form.

Let’s find Penguin the calm, understanding forever home he’s been waiting for. 💕🐾
