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
Elsa
Who could resist those beautiful blue eyes?
Elsa is a gorgeous, 4 year old Ragdoll who has just arrived to 4 Paws.
|
She's been a very much loved and well cared for cat and was sadly surrendered due to family health issues.
Elsa is a quiet, gentle, affectionate girl who would love a calm and loving home. She's happiest when she's curled up beside you, getting a cuddle and a pat.
While she does need some persuasion that a good brush will keep her coat looking silky smooth and stunning, she comes around with some reassurance and trust.
Elsa would suit a peaceful home where she can be cherished and included in your daily routine. She has lived with older children (12+) and must be an only cat. She's untested with dogs.
Adoption $295

Tiggi
Like a Toyger!
Meet Tiggi!
He's a stunning, 7 year old Toyger. Toygers were bred specifically to look like mini tigers and were officially recognised as a breed in the early 2000's.
Tiggi came to us from the Pound so we don't have a great deal of background information on him.
From what we've observed, since he's been in our care, we can say that Tiggi is the ultimate people cat.
He absolutely adores his humans, he wants to be close to you and soak up all the love you have to give.
He's smart, curious and very companionable. While he loves his people, he's really not a fan of other cats at all. We suggest he would be best suited to a home where he would be an only pet.
Ideally his new family would be home a lot of the time.
Tiggi has similar characteristics and features to oriental breeds and loves a chat.
He's a very active boy and would benefit from a secure outdoor catio.
If you can offer Tiggi all of the love and attention he desires then please consider adoption.

Ivy
If you're seeking a gentle, affectionate, cuddly cat, look no further than Ivy.

Loki
We are seeking a PERMANENT FOSTER CARER for Loki.
Loki is a 12 year old, long haired, part Maine Coone gent urgently in need of a new home. He's been in a loving carer's home for the last few years however, due to an unforeseen change of circumstances, they can no longer keep him. It would ease the carer's minds immensely to know he's going to another loving home.
Why you'll love Loki as much as we do:
✨ Loki is the most laid back, gentle natured cat you could hope to meet
✨ Affectionate, loves his humans and will be your ultimate companion cat
✨ Stunning, long, lustrous coat (he'll need regular brushing to keep it looking magnificent)
✨ He's the goodest boy who just wants an easy, loving life
Loki does have a history of urinary tract issues which is extremely well managed on a prescription diet.
Loki is a 4 Paws Permanent resident which means his vet care is covered for life.
You MUST reside on the Sunshine Coast and be willing to transport him to his routine vet appointments at Nicklin Way Vet Surgery.
Experience with a long haired cat and familiarity with cats with UTI's would be a distinct advantage.
If you have room in your heart and home for lovable Loki, he's ready and waiting.

Snickers
Snickers is a beautiful, talkative girl with a big personality wrapped in a cautious, affectionate heart.
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.
