Bella Girl - PERMANENT CARE
We are seeking a Permanent Carer for Bella Girl.
At 18 years young, Bella Girl is looking for a special person to spend her golden years with.
This beautiful senior lady has recently settled into temporary foster care, but she’s still searching for a loving permanent foster home where she can truly relax and enjoy the comfort she deserves.
Bella is everything you could hope for in a senior companion. She is affectionate, social and loves being close to her people. She’ll happily keep you company around the house and isn’t shy about letting you know when dinner time is approaching! Her favourite place to sleep is right beside you and she absolutely loves curling up on a warm, heated throw.
Like many senior cats, Bella has arthritis however, it’s well managed and doesn’t stop her enjoying life.
She uses a small step to help her climb onto the bed and receives a monthly arthritis injection to keep her comfortable.
As one of our Permanent Resident cats Bella’s veterinary care will be covered by 4 Paws Animal Rescue for the rest of her life. All we ask is that her permanent foster carer can provide her with a safe, loving home and take her to her monthly vet appointments.
Bella would be happiest in a quiet home where she can soak up all the love and attention. She is best suited as the only pet and would prefer a home without children.
If you’ve ever thought about giving a senior cat the retirement she deserves, Bella Girl will reward you with endless affection, companionship and gratitude. Opening your heart to an older cat is one of the most meaningful gifts you can give—and Bella is ready to fill your home with love.

Mipha (12 weeks old at end of June) is a playful little bundle with plenty of kitten energy.

Holly - ADOPT
Holly is an 11 year old sweet natured lady who has found herself searching for a new beginning after coming into our care through the pound.
Sadly, we don't have a lot of information on her history.
Life in the cattery has been a big adjustment for Holly. The unfamiliar sights, sounds and activity can feel quite overwhelming for her and she's finding the environment a little stressful. Because of this, it can take Holly a little time to feel comfortable around new people.
Our volunteers report that once she begins to trust you, she's a very gentle, friendly girl.
She enjoys a brush, welcomes soft pats and really loves a chin or ear scratch.
She's a lovely senior lady who will appreciate kindness and patience.
We believe Holly would be happiest in a calm home where she can settle in at her own pace and feel safe again. No other animals or children.
Holly is in good health. She's been vet checked, desexed, vaccinated, worm and flea treated.
Adoption $160

Misty - ADOPT
Misty's world changed when the rental crisis left her family with no choice but to surrender her.
At 11 years young, she's now searching for a quiet, loving home where she can enjoy her golden years surrounded by comfort and kindness.
Misty is a sweet and friendly girl who enjoys being close to her people, although she's not the type of cat who demands constant attention.
She's independent by nature and prefers affection on her own terms.
A gentle brush as she strolls past, a scratch under the chin, or a pat along her cheeks are all welcomed and appreciated.
We think she's the kind of girl who will enjoy sitting beside you on the couch.
One of Misty's favourite things is watching birds from a sunny window, soaking up warm patches of sunshine and simply being part of your routine.
If you're looking for a calm, low maintenance companion who will bring a gentle presence to your home, Misty may be the perfect match.
She's been vet checked, desexed, vaccinated, worm and flea treated.

Lilly - ADOPT
Lilly is a very sweet 10 year old lady who has recently come into our care from the pound.
Her world has changed very suddenly after a family member developed allergies.
As you can imagine, she's finding the change a little confronting right now.
Lilly is a very friendly girl with a gentle nature.
She's understandably feeling timid while she adjusts to her new surroundings.
Beneath those cautious eyes though is a loving cat who just wants to feel safe again.
The good news is Lilly has had a full health check with our vet and received a big tick of approval.
She's desexed, microchipped, wormed and ready to start her next chapter.
We'd love to see Lilly settled into a quiet, loving home with a patient owner who can give her the time and reassurance she needs to blossom and find her confidence again.
She'd be best suited as an only cat where she can soak up your love and attention for herself. Lilly is untested with dogs.
Lilly just needs a second chance and we're confident she'll make a beautiful companion for a lucky owner.
