Cats available for adoption
If you are interested in having a feline friend as a new addition to your family then choosing to adopt is a great decision.
To adopt a cat, please carefully read about our adoption process and complete the Adoption Enquiry form to indicate your intention to adopt one of our rescue cats. The form will give you the opportunity to ask questions about their personality or how they will fit into your household.
Please note, in line with Sunshine Coast Council guidelines, all 4 Paws Animal Rescue cats are to be kept as 100% indoor cats, unless supervised in a secure outdoor run, ensuring that they are contained to your property at all times.
To read about the experiences of those who have already adopted see our Happily Ever After Stories
Our website is regularly kept up to date with all of our available cats.
The following cats are currently available for adoption. Ideally, we'd like all of our cats to be in a temporary foster home whilst we search for the perfect adoptive family. Cats requiring a temporary Foster Carer have been marked as such.
If you can offer a temporary home for any of the cats not yet settled in a foster home please head over to our Foster page for more information and to apply.
Occasionally, we will require a Permanent Carer for one of our 4 Paws Permanent Residents, elderly or special needs cats who will remain in our care. For more information on becoming a Permanent Carer please visit our Permanent Carers page


She’s looking for a calm, loving home where she can be understood and cherished for exactly who she is.
Snickers loves attention . She’ll purr loudly for chin rubs, nose strokes and even sweet kisses on the head. When she’s had enough, she’ll gently let you know.
While she’s not necessarily a lap cat, she enjoys being near her people and is very affectionate in her own way.
She’s quite the conversationalist, especially when you’re just getting home or if she thinks it’s dinnertime!
She’s trained to sit (yes, really!) if you offer her a tasty chicken treat.
Snickers would do best in a quieter home, possibly with older children or adults who understand feline boundaries.
She’s unsure around other cats and hasn’t been exposed to dogs, so she’d likely thrive as the only pet.
Snickers enjoys playing in boxes and exploring cozy hideaways.
She loves being brushed and will gladly soak up that one-on-one time.
Snickers can get a little anxious around loud noises so a calm, predictable environment is a must for her.
If you’re looking for a companion with character, who will greet you with soft meows and a heart full of cautious love, Snickers might be your perfect match. She just needs a home that respects her space, appreciates her quirks and can give her the quiet affection she craves.
Currently in foster care however urgently needs her forever person.

With her tiny frame and youthful face you’d be forgiven for thinking she’s still a kitten!

Mishka came into our care with her mum, Missy, after their previous owner moved in to aged care.
Whilst they arrived together they are not particularly bonded and we believe both girls would thrive best in separate homes where they can receive individual attention and love.
Mishka is looking for a home where she can be doted on and treated like the little queen.
If you’re after a loyal, affectionate and loving companion then Mishka could be your perfect match.
