Real stories behind the rescue.

From Drain Cat to Lap Cat

Spotted in a drain in 2018. Asleep on the bed every night today.

Rocky was first spotted in a drain in 2018. I began feeding him, but despite many attempts, he outsmarted every trap. For the next year and a half, I simply kept feeding him until he disappeared.

In 2020, we were informed of a deceased cat with similar markings and we feared the worst, but three years later, Rocky miraculously appeared at my back door. This time, I finally managed to trap him, have him sterilised and release him.

A little while later, he returned again, and slowly, patiently, Rocky began his journey into our home. He learned to trust the other cats, our two dogs, and most importantly, us.

Today, our once-wild drain cat is a complete lap cat who sleeps on the bed every night and enjoys a life of absolute leisure.

From survival to home. ❤️

Rocky's story is exactly why we believe every cat deserves the chance to become someone's beloved companion.

Lost, Alone, Finally Home

One month on the streets. Five nights of waiting.

• TodayHappily rehomed

Jessie and her brother were rehomed to Table View, but just two days later, they escaped into an area they didn't know. Tragically, Jessie's brother was knocked by a car and succumbed to his injuries.

Jessie was now alone, frightened and lost, with nobody searching for her. I couldn't leave her out there.

For a month, I searched, shared posts, put up posters and relied on the kindness of the community to keep an eye out. Then, one afternoon, Jessie ran across the road in front of my car. I knew instantly it was her.

With the help of my friend Sanette, we began feeding her and setting a trap. For five nights, my husband and I sat in the car, waiting and hoping. On the fifth night, we finally caught her.

Jessie came home with us to decompress and feel safe, and today she is happily rehomed.

One month on the streets. Five nights of waiting. One very happy ending. ❤️

Jessie is another reminder of why I do what I do. Whether a cat is lost, abandoned or left behind, I believe they deserve someone to keep looking for them.

A Bond That Couldn’t Be Broken

Two mothers, three kittens and a bond too strong to break.

• TodayOne forever home, together

From Mitchell’s Plain came a very special little family: Gina, a tabby, India, a beautiful black girl, and three tiny kittens, two black and one tabby.

What made this rescue so special was the extraordinary bond between Gina and India. Both girls were nursing the kittens, caring for them together so naturally that we never even knew which kittens belonged to which mother. They simply loved and protected them all.

The kittens were successfully rehomed, but Gina and India were different. Their bond was too strong to break, so we knew they had to find a home together.

It took a little longer, but while networking and waiting in a cattery, we eventually found the perfect home for both girls.

Two hearts. One unbreakable bond. One forever home. ❤️

For us, rescue means recognising that some cats come as a pair, and when love has already chosen its family, we do everything we can to keep them together.

From Drain to Donnie

Found in a drain in Killarney Gardens. Deeply loved today.

Kaya was found in a drain in Killarney Gardens. But this was no feral boy. From the moment he appeared, his enormous personality was impossible to miss.

He came hopping sideways towards his rescuers, Sonia and Roland, as though he had simply been waiting for someone to notice him. A plan was quickly made: feed him, trap him, have him sterilised and secure a safe place for him at the cattery while we searched for his forever home.

Little Kaya spent a little longer than we would have liked waiting for his perfect match, but we never gave up hope. Then, finally, the right family came along.

Today, Kaya is Donnie, and he is deeply loved, wonderfully spoiled and exactly where he belongs.

From a drain in Killarney Gardens to a forever home. Some stories just need a little patience. 🧡
