Christmas Scratchie tree raffle draw
What a busy couple of months we have had! We have had multiple weekends of garage sales, pet photos and gift wrapping along with our Christmas Scratchie tree raffle. Once again we would like to say a HUGE thank you for the generosity shown when we put the call out for donations to buy scratchies for our raffle tree. And a massive thank you to all who purchased tickets in our raffle.
Tonight, we have drawn the three lucky winners who will each receive a Christmas tree with $500 worth of scratchies on it! And the three lucky winners are Alex Carroll, Sharon Jones and Leah Busacker. Congratulations to you all and our fingers are crossed you scratch something big from the scratchies!
As we wind down to spend the festive season with our loved ones, we want to say a huge thank you to all of our supporters. Thank you for being beside us as we continue to climb what seems a never-ending mountain at times, for sharing the highs and lows and just generally being beside us in every step we take.
Team CSCA wish you all a safe and Merry Christmas filled with love and joy. And once again a huge thank you for your generous and support!
This afternoon we had a very impromptu rescue of two little kittens. We were not planning on any trapping at this location today but when the opportunity presented itself we grabbed it (and the kitten).
We will be back however for a more structured trapping of the remaining kittens and mum.
Batman and Blaise update
The video is a tad crap, but check out these two gorgeous boys now!
They are in their own room of a night time and every morning they greet their carer with smooches and kisses 🥰🥰🥰
We are so excited to be holding our forst Santa Pet Photos session this weekend!

ADOPTION READY....Rufus!
Rufus is one of our beautiful long-term foster cats, and after 1 year and 2 months in care, he’s ready for the next step in his journey: finding his forever home!
Rufus’ story began in September 2023 with a dramatic entrance—literally falling through the roof of a restaurant about to open for lunch! This gentle giant took time to trust humans, but his progress over the past year (especially the last four months) has been nothing short of amazing.
🐾 About Rufus
Rufus is a sweet, sensitive soul with a teddy bear heart. While shy at first, he has shown us how much love and affection he has to give once he feels safe with you. He’s not a lap cat yet, but with time, we can definitely see him becoming your loyal cuddle buddy—on your lap or in your bed! At the moment we know he loves when you hold his paws, he loves back scratches and he loves to purr away gently while using your hand as a pillow.
Though he’s lived with other cats before, Rufus is best suited to a quiet home with gentle companions. Bold or dominant personalities may stress him out, as his natural instinct is to retreat and make himself small. His perfect match will be someone patient, kind, and understanding of his journey. He comes with a 1 month adoption trial.
He is a quiet and well behaved boy.
💉 Medical Information
Rufus is FIV+. While FIV+ cats can live long, healthy lives, they may be more vulnerable to illness. Rufus recently had a major dental procedure, and though most of his teeth were removed, he’s fully recovered and happily munching on dry food. His bloodwork is normal, and he’s ready to thrive in his new home.

Just a snippet of life with beautiful Blaise 🥰
Look who is out and about!!!
Our friends at Crookwell Veterinary Hospital have these three gorgeous babies looking for their forever homes.
If you are looking for an older kitten/young adult feline companion, why not take a trip out to meet these delightful muffins?
Ready for their new homes now, if you are interested in adopting, please reach out to Crookwell Vet Hospital.
A beautiful start to Sunday morning.
The wonderful team at Flossie's Cat Sanctuary. The Clowdered House are fostering this family for us and have sent us a gorgeous video of these precious bubbas.
Their mumma Zelda has done an incredible job with her little ones who are eager to explore the world and get into some delightful kitten mischief!
NB due to their age, we are not taking expressions of interest to adopt these muffins at this time.
We are working with Twiggy this week to get him over his initial reaction of trying to warn people away.
Twiggy was witnessed by a member of the public being dumped in an area in the south of Canberra some weeks ago and was trapped along with another cat by CSCA team members.
Does anyone want a Batman and Blaise update????
OK then 😆
There is no hissing or growling at all! They accept pats and treats from visitors so getting used to strangers. And as you can see in this video, Batman will now approach for attention! But only on his terms! Never the less, he loves pats and is accepting more cuddles now.
They are playing, eating and pooping in front of the carer now and seem to be totally comfortable with her.
They are still not free roaming the house but spending lots of time in their enclosure in the lounge area.
The next test.....getting them in a carrier for a vet visit. Fingers crossed!
