152340 - Betty
Betty is a beautiful two-and-a-half-year-old black and white domestic short hair with a gentle soul and a loving heart. She may be a little shy when you first meet her, but given time and patience, she blossoms into an incredibly sweet and smoochy companion.
• 🐱 Age: 2.5 years old
• ⚫⚪ Coat: Black and white domestic short hair
• 💕 Personality: Shy at first, then affectionate and very loving
• 🤍 Affection: Becomes wonderfully smoochy once she feels safe and comfortable
• 🌿 Nature: Sensitive and gentle, thrives with a calm and understanding approach
• 🏡 Ideal Home: A quiet household with patient cat parents who will let her settle in at her own pace
Betty is looking for a home that will give her the time she needs to feel secure. In return, she’ll reward you with deep trust, gentle affection, and the sweetest companionship 🐾💖
153067 - Bolt
Bolt is a 3-year-old Staffy x Shar Pei with a very gentle, loyal nature. He’s a sweet boy who tends to be a little withdrawn at first and really comes into his own when he feels safe and close to his people. Once he forms a bond, he becomes deeply devoted and thrives on being included in family life.
Bolt gets along well with children and could go home with kids pending a meet and greet. He also enjoys the presence of smaller dogs and puppies, but he is still building confidence around larger or more playful dogs. Because of this, he would be best suited to a home that manages dog introductions slowly and avoids busy dog parks. He may be able to live with a calm canine companion, though he would also be perfectly happy as an only dog where he can soak up attention from his humans.
This boy would do best in a family setting where he is truly part of the household and able to stay close to his people. He is toilet trained, comfortable with indoor/outdoor access, and enjoys car rides. As long as he gets regular outings and exercise, Bolt is content to relax and quietly spend his day alongside his family.
Bolt is already a loving and loyal companion, and in the right home he will continue to thrive, building confidence and settling even further into the secure, affectionate boy he is.
153026 - Buddy
Buddy is the definition of a gentle giant – calm, affectionate, and an all-round good boy. He walks beautifully on lead, keeps his kennel nice and tidy, and is happiest simply being by your side. While he can be a little timid when settling into new environments, it doesn’t take much for his sweet personality to shine through. A few gentle scratches and kind words are usually enough to bring out Buddy’s adorable goofy wiggles when he’s happy to see you.
Buddy can be unsure when first meeting other dogs, but with the right introduction – especially with a calm, social female dog – he relaxes nicely and even enjoys a bit of play. Beneath his shy exterior is a loving, loyal companion who is just looking for someone to help him feel safe and loved.
If you’re after a quiet, gentle companion with a heart of gold, Buddy may just be your perfect match.
153080 - Cruz
Cruz is a bright, busy young Kelpie looking for an active home that understands and appreciates working breeds. Like a typical Kelpie, he is happiest when he has a job to do. Whether it’s dog sports, herding for fun, hiking, training, or learning new tricks, Cruz is ready to throw himself into any adventure with enthusiasm.
He enjoys meeting other dogs, though he’s still learning that not every dog appreciates being rounded up and herded! Because of this, he may do best with another confident working breed companion who understands his play style and energy levels.
Cruz will thrive with owners who can provide both mental and physical enrichment, ongoing training, and plenty of opportunities to use that sharp working dog brain. In return, you’ll get a loyal, fun-loving, and endlessly entertaining companion who is always ready for the next activity.

151556 - Ging
Ging is a handsome ginger boy with a gentle, sensitive soul. He can be a little timid when first settling into a new environment, but with patience, understanding, and a calm presence, he really begins to reveal his affectionate nature.
Once Ging feels safe and secure, he truly blossoms-seeking out quiet companionship and sharing soft, meaningful moments with his people. He isn’t the kind of cat who rushes in; instead, he forms deep bonds built on trust and respect.
Ging is looking for a peaceful, adult-only home or one with older teens (16+) who can appreciate his need for space and gentle interaction. He must go to someone with solid cat experience-someone who understands feline body language and behaviour, and who can recognise and respond to his subtle cues with care and compassion.
With the right person, Ging will come out of his shell and show just how loving and special he is. If you have the patience, knowledge, and heart to support him, he’ll reward you with a quiet, loyal companionship that feels truly special.

152613 - Jasmine
Jasmine is a beautiful 4-year-old bullmastiff who is currently looking for a foster home while she receives some ongoing medical care. She is a genuinely sweet-natured girl who is still learning to feel confident in the world around her. New environments and experiences can be a little overwhelming for her at first, so she will thrive in a calm and understanding home where she is given the time, space, and patience she needs to settle in at her own pace.
Once Jasmine begins to feel safe and comfortable, her affectionate personality really shines through. She forms strong bonds with her people and becomes an absolute snuggle bug, happiest when she’s close by and part of the daily rhythm of the home. With gentle support and consistency, Jasmine is ready to blossom into a loyal, loving companion who deeply appreciates kindness and care.
151169 - Jupiter
Hi, I’m Jupiter 🐾
I may start off a little unsure when we first meet, but I promise I just need a bit of time and kindness to feel safe. I can be a little head shy, so I really appreciate gentle hands, soft voices, and someone who lets me come to them at my own pace. Once I start to trust you, my sweet nature begins to shine through and I become such a loving, devoted little companion who just wants to be near you. I’ve lived with other cats before, so I may be happy to share my home with a feline friend if we’re introduced slowly and gently. When I’m feeling comfortable, my playful side comes out too, and I really enjoy a good play session and having fun with my people. More than anything, I’m hoping for a home where I can feel safe, loved, and truly understood while I blossom into the affectionate girl I’m meant to be 💛

42195 - Lady
Poor Lady was being given away by people on the side of the road who hadn’t desexed the cat which had an unwanted litter. A lovely passer by took her in as the people said to her that if she didn’t take the kitten, she was just going to be dumped in the bush! Lady was surrendered to us because she was being picked on by their older cat. Can you help us find lovely Lady a new home? She likes to play with water, has been around dogs and is already toilet trained. She loves to be picked up and cuddled – she’s quite affectionate! She can be a little timid at first but what can you expect after all she’s been through?
152577 - Luna
Meet ✨ Luna ✨
a beautiful 5-year-old Bull Arab x Great Dane with a heart just as big as her paws 🐾💛. Luna is a friendly, people-loving girl who enjoys being close to her humans and would thrive in a home where she can enjoy indoor access and plenty of companionship 🏡. Her mix of Bull Arab loyalty and Great Dane gentleness makes her a wonderful balance of affectionate, calm, and devoted – the perfect best friend for someone looking for a loving companion.
Luna could happily join a home with another dog pending a successful meet & greet 🐶🤝. She would do best in a property with secure 6ft fencing to keep her safe while she explores and plays 🌿. If you’re looking for a sweet, social, and loyal companion to complete your family, Luna may just be your perfect match 💕

150288 - Simba
🌟 PET OF THE WEEK: SIMBA 🌟
Meet Simba – a breathtaking champagne-and-ginger gentleman with a heart as golden as his coat. This handsome boy is a true softie at soul level, gently stepping out of a rough start in life and into the warm light of the future he truly deserves.
Simba is the definition of affectionate. He doesn’t just enjoy love-he soaks it up, leans into it, and quietly asks for more with those soft, hopeful eyes. Beneath his elegant colouring is a deeply gentle cat who has so much love to give, and he’s ready to finally share it with someone special.
Despite everything he’s been through, Simba remains incredibly sweet-natured and trusting. He’s the kind of companion who will settle into your life like he’s always belonged there-calm, comforting, and full of quiet devotion.
Now shining as our PET OF THE WEEK, Simba is waiting for a home that will cherish him, spoil him just a little (or a lot), and give him the safe, loving life he’s always deserved.
If you’re looking for a loyal heart wrapped in a gorgeous ginger glow, Simba is ready to be your forever boy. 🌟
