Days later, still on death’s door, she delivered one beautiful little kitten. Poor Crystal had been attacked and run over whilst she was pregnant. 
Unfortunately, Crystal was left brain damaged by the attack and will be in permanent foster care for the rest of her life.

Sponsor GT

GT is approximately 13 years old and lived with a lovely elderly lady until she passed away. 
Unfortunately, the elderly lady had no family and GT ended up on the streets for a few years. 
It wasn't until GT was brought into the vet clinic as a stray that he got some help!
Due to some medical issues, GT is not able to be re-homed but will be lavished with love with his permanent foster carer.

Sponsor Jackolene

Jacquelini and her best friend Cheeky were left behind by her owners who moved to a new house. 
She is an affectionate cat to her foster carer but can become worried of strangers. She is about 12 years of age and a wee bit “round”. 
Cheeky and Jacquelini cannot be re-homed due to some behavioural issues and so we would like to keep them in permanent foster carer.
Platinum: vacant.
Gold: vacant.
Silver: vacant.

Sponsor Laura

Laura is the mother of JoJo and gave birth to her beautiful babies under a commercial building.
After a few years, some workers decided they no longer wanted them there and threatened to shoot them.
Luckily our carer went into action straight away and trapped Laura and her babies.
Because Laura lived on the streets herself from birth, she is not socialised with people and therefore spends her time on our carers property with her grown up babies.
She will remain in permanent care with our foster carer.
Bronze Sponsor - Samantha Dalton


Sponsor Marley

We believe Marley to be about 15 years old. This lovely girl was living with a women who decided she no longer wanted Marley.
Our foster carer was cleaning at the premises for some years and knew that Marley had not been looked after.
After several attempts at un-successful rehoming by the owner, our foster carer offered to take her.
We think Marley has had enough trauma in her life so she is staying put in her retirement home!
Bronze Sponsor - Mick Dries

Sponsor JoJo

JoJo was living under a commercial building with her mother and siblings when a few workers threatened to shoot all of them.
Our carer got to work straight away, trapping all 6 cats and saving their lives.
Because JoJo was never socialised with people she is extremely timid and cannot be re-homed.
She is enjoying life with her mother and other siblings on a property with our foster carer.
Bronze sponsor - Colleen Bolland

Sponsor Nikita

10 yo Nikita is a gentle girl who was surrendered when her owner went into permanent care and she lost the only friend she knew.
She often hides but loves exploring when no-one is watching.
She is so timid that she cannot be re-homed and will enjoy the securing of her loving foster home.

Sponsor Patches

Patches is a 7 yo cat who has been re-homed 8 times. 
YES, 8 TIMES in his short life! Poor Patches is tired of going from home to home. 
He thinks no-one loves him and he just wants to settle down and feel safe. He loves to socialise with other cats and is often found smooching with his carer or sunning himself in a nice spot.
Due to various issues from being re-homed so many times he will need to be in foster care for the rest of his life.
Bronze: May Hane.

Sponsor Pepper

Pepper is a 5 yo male cat who was surrendered with his friend Salt.
He is obsessed with climbing trees. He likes to mingle with some of the other cats but really loves his brother Salt.
They can be seen walking around the property, talking about birds, trees and politics.
Pepper has not been able to be re-homed due to some behavioural issues so will need to stay as a foster cat for his life.

Sponsor Sarah

Sarah is a gorgeous cat that was previously abused by her owner.
She became so untrusting of humans that she wouldn’t let anyone go near her.
She has been re-homed several times but always returned. Poor Sarah just wanted to be loved. She trusts no-one, except her wonderful foster carer who she absolutely loves.
Because of Sarah’s behavioural issues, she cannot be rehomed, and we are looking for a kind soul to sponsor her, so she can remain permanently in care.

Sponsor Sammy

We believe Sammy to be around 12 years of age.
 She became homeless when her elderly owner passed away and left nowhere for these cats to go.
She also had a feline sister, who has since passed away.
Sammy is very, very timid and cannot be re-homed. She is enjoying life on the ranch with our foster carer!

Sponsor Sooty

Sooty is a 5-year old black and white cat. Look at his striking colours and his beautiful face. 
How could anyone not love this boy? Unfortunately, his previous owners dumped him on an old deserted road and Sooty had a long walk to find someone who would help him.
He is a scared and timid boy and would like to stay with his current foster carer in permanent care, so he doesn’t have to be abandoned again.

Sponsor Snow

We believe Snow to be around 5 years of age. 

Snow is a beautiful looking cat and was bought for a women by her niece.

Snow wasn't well looked after and finally, the owner decided to surrender him.

He has come to live with one of our foster carers and due to some behavioural issues, cannot be re-homed.

He is a sweet boy and has been looking for a sponsor for well over 3 years.
