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.
Please carefully read about our Adoption Process and then complete the Adoption Enquiry form to indicate your interest in one/any of our rescue cats. The form will also 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.

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.
4 Paws Permanent Residents are elderly or special needs cats who will remain in our care. Cats in need of a Permanent Carer are also listed below.

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.

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.
