Crackle is a confident, playful little guy with just a hint of aloofness—but don’t let that fool you, his purr is impossible to resist. Give him a pat and he’ll happily purr away, and he’ll even push up into your hand as you pat him, clearly showing his appreciation. He’s part of The Breakfast Club kittens and has a big love for treats, toys, and cardboard boxes—the ultimate combo for... Read More Barney Hey! Hi, Hello, I am Barney! Barns. Barnacle. Barnaby. Trouble. I'm the kind of kitten chaos you don't think you need in your life. I'm busy, curious, cheeky, and a big old smooch. I like cat TV, stalking the humans, wherever you are... harassing the other cats, and just generally being involved wherever the action is. I LOVE to play, and chase balls, and wrestle with Dorothy, ride on foster mums shoulder, assist with dinner, and after the day is done, I... Read More Dorothy Hi! I'm Dorothy or Dotty. One half of the dinosaurs. I am a sweet little lady with the softest fur. I arrived at GAR just before Christmas with my new friend Barney, the other Dinosaur, and together we have had the best fun.

Hi! I'm Dorothy or Dotty. One half of the dinosaurs.

I am a sweet little lady with the softest fur. I arrived at GAR just before Christmas with my new friend Barney, the other Dinosaur, and together we have had the best fun. We jump and zoom and wrestle all day!

When its time for a break, you can find me on foster mums lap, or at the top of the cat tower, like a princess!

My favourite things include boxes, the rainbow string toy, belly rubs, my other new friend Kip and dinner time! I love watching bird TV out the window.

I can be a little bit shy when I first meet new people, but if you give me some time, I'll show you my best side, showering you in big purrs, and following you around! I would like another cat friend in my new home to keep me company. I am tolerant of older children once I have decided they are safe, and foster mum thinks I would suit most families. I've been an indoor only kitty while in foster care and must continue this in my forever home for my own safety and the safety of our wildlife.

I have lovely litter manners, but can get a little demanding when I can smell dinner. My household chores include sweeping, and supervising the laundry!

Dorothy is desexed, microchipped, up to date with vaccinations, flea and worm treatments.

Meet Branch!

Branch has the classic Frenchie charm, he’s the kind of dog who settles into your life like he’s always been there.

He’s incredibly affectionate and he’ll make sure you don’t forget it. Branch has this adorable habit of gently tapping you with his paw when he thinks it’s time for attention (which, according to him… is often). He just wants to be close to his people, whether that’s curled up next to you on the couch or quietly hanging out nearby while you go about your day.

Branch enjoys his walkies and is great on the lead, making him an easy companion for relaxed daily strolls. He would love to go to a home where his humans are home lots, as he really thrives on companionship and being part of everyday life. If he's humans have to leave to go to work so they can afford more treats for him, he would need extra attention when they're home. Branch has had the luxury of being an indoor dog and would need constant access to inside, especially the sofa at all times.

Branch is friendly with other dogs and can live with a doggy sibling. At times he can be a bit pushy and likes to take the lead (and may get a little jealous if his favourite people are cuddling another dog), so he’ll do best with a calm, confident dog and humans who are happy to set clear boundaries. He’d also be perfectly happy as an only dog, soaking up all the love as the centre of attention. Branch will suit a home with older kids/teens who are dog savvy and understand doggy boundaries and can give him space when it's needed.

Branch isn’t demanding in a high-energy way, he’s just quietly devoted and happiest when he’s near his humans. If you’re looking for a loyal little shadow who’ll keep you company and request cuddles, Branch might be your perfect match.

Branch is desexed, microchipped, up to date with vaccinations, flea and worm treatments.

Medical note: Branch has a mild (grade 2) heart murmur, this has been checked over by the vets who have advised this is not currently causing him and issues and does not require medication. Heart murmurs may progress over time or stay stagnant the entire life of the dog. Branch will need to ensure he has regular vet check ups if any concerns arise such as coughing lots.

BREED: DSH

AGE: 9 MONTHS

Hello. It’s me, Theodore!

I should let you know upfront that I’m a bit reserved — I don’t do instant friendships. I prefer a slow introduction, a respectful distance, and some time to decide if you’re my people. Once I’ve made that decision, I’m very happy to hang out nearby and quietly supervise whatever you’re doing.

I’m an independent guy and excellent at entertaining myself. I enjoy calmly playing with my toys like a responsible adult cat… however, without warning, I may experience a sudden outbreak of orange cat zoomies. This is normal. Please do not be alarmed.

I love food and I’m not fussy at all — if it’s edible and arrives in a bowl, I’m interested. When I’m not eating or zooming, you’ll probably find me asleep in a sink. They’re cool, cosy, and perfectly shaped, and I will not be taking questions at this time.

Affection is available on a trust-based system. Once you’ve earned it, I may allow pats, companionship, and — on rare, magical occasions — I may bestow you the honour of presenting me with a belly rub.

I’m pretty indifferent about other cats and mostly mind my own business, so I’d be happy as an only cat or living with calm housemates who also respect personal space. I also have not been tested with children or dogs however if they understand how to respect me and have a gentle demeanour, I'm confident we can become friends!

If you’re looking for a quiet companion with a dry sense of humour, a love of plumbing fixtures, and the occasional burst of chaos, I think we’ll get along just fine. I've been an indoor only kitty while in foster care and must continue this in my forever home for my own safety and the safety of our wildlife.

P.S Yes, that is cheese treat on my chin. Yes, it was delicious.
