Animals in our care

Say hello to Jinx – the cheeky little charmer with a tuxedo coat and a heart of gold! With their striking black and white fur and curious nature, Jinx is the kind of kitten who will steal your heart and fill your home with fun.

Jinx came into care from a local council pound and has blossomed into a confident, affectionate kitten who loves to play, cuddle, and explore. Whether it’s chasing toys, curling up in a sunny spot, or following you around the house like a tiny shadow, Jinx is always up for companionship and adventure.

Now all Jinx needs is a forever family to love them unconditionally. Could that be you?

Jinx will go to their new home:

Desexed

Microchipped

Vaccinated (first and second F3 vaccination)

Flea and worm treated

If you're ready to welcome a little bundle of love and energy into your life, express your interest today – Jinx is waiting to meet you!

Bindi is an extraordinary dog and you can read about her adventure before coming to DCH on her GoFundMe - https://gofund.me/9a8f5b99

Bindi is the best dog in the world for the right person. She walks beautifully on leash, doesn't ever fuss when I dremel her nails, loves to go for car rides and basically just wants to be with you all the time.

If you do have to pop out she settles quickly and doesn't bark.

Please DO NOT apply to adopt Bindi if you do not have time to spend with her each day.

I am hoping Bindi will find a home with someone retired or who works from home and can spend a lot of time with her, because that's what she wants. She is an extremely loving dog, probably not suitable for a home with cats as she wants to chase them despite being about 12 years old. She can be introduced to other dogs, but do so slowly as it is likely that other dogs have not always been kind to her while she was homeless.

Bindi is quite the local celebrity in my neighbourhood - all the neighbours love her, and she loves everyone, including kids.

Bindi is being offered as a "palliative care" dog, but she sure doesn't know that. She has some residual lumps around her nipples that may be cancer, but she is bright and happy, alert, and so affectionate. It is impossible to estimate how much time Bindi has left - but it could be years. She is showing all the signs of being a very happy little girl who just wants to be part of your family for a long time to come.

I am feeding her SPD100 and a variety of supplements and she is really thriving on this. A good diet is her best chance of a happy and healthy life from here on, and if feeding her the SPD100 RAW it will likely cost you around $65 per week for food and a bit extra for treats or supplements.

If you would like to meet Bindi, please call or send me an email. She really is that one in a million dog you've been waiting for.

Apollo is the largest male in the litter. He has grown into an athletic, glossy coated, black, short haired boy. He uses a variety of different kitty litters, eats quality kibble and the odd bit of wet food. A very playful boy. He is an indoor kitty who lives with his kitty friend Nutmeg. He enjoys sitting in the sunny window watching the birds or on your bed. He comes when called to eat. He gets along with all other cats so far and has been around a couple of dogs. He is alert but not aggressive towards them.
He has had all his vet work done and is ready to move into his forever home.

Bobby came to DCH along with his brothers and sisters after he was born on the street. He and his siblings had a bit of a rough start in life after catching cat flu when very young and being ill for a long time.

Though he and his brothers are all better now from their initial illness, Bobby sometimes still sneezes and gets weepy eyes. This is likely going to continue for his life.

It doesn't stop him living his best kitten life, including being affectionate with his foster humans and getting up to mischief with his brothers!

Bobby is a cute and sweet boy, who's interested in what his foster humans are up to. He has the best kind of personality: he's playful and loves snuggling up close with his foster humans. If you're looking for a playful and affectionate furbaby, he'll be sure to make a wonderful match!

Please send an email to arrange a visit :)

*** Please note that as Bobby likely has FHV, he should not live with other cats who are not FHV+ or who do not likely have the virus. It doesn't affect other animals or humans

Timmy came to DCH along with his brothers and sisters after he was born on the street. He and his siblings had a bit of a rough start in life after catching cat flu when very young and were ill for a long time.

Unfortunately, even after Timmy was over the worst of the cat flu, he then suffered with conjunctivitis for weeks.

Though he and his brothers are all better now from their initial illnesses, Timmy sometimes still sneezes and gets weepy eyes. This is likely going to continue for his life, but it doesn’t phase him!

Timmy has grown into a very handsome kitten, who has such beautifully soft fur. He is affectionate and loves sleeping across his foster mum’s neck.

His favorite toy is a little orange soft fabric star that he carries around in his mouth and takes everywhere. His foster mum finds it in all sorts of places! He loves to bite and kick it, and sometimes cuddle and sleep with it too.

If you’re looking for a gentle, loving and affectionate kitten, Timmy would be a perfect match!

Penelope is a stunning young cat who came into DCH care with her 4 kittens from a shelter. Despite being a protective mama cat (she will chase dogs if her kittens are close), she is very sweet and affectionate to hoomans.

Penelope loves to sit next to her hoomans as they watch tv or sit in the living area. She climbs cat trees and chills by the window in the sun. She is a good mama cat, diligently nursing and cleaning her kittens, as well as reprimanding them when they get too energetic around her. But she had her kittens before she was 9 months old so she is a very young mum. It is her turn to live her best life.

Penelope loves to eat wet and dry cat food. She is litter-trained on sand, pellets and crystals. She respects furniture, clothes and shoes. She will be available to join her forever family in May 2025 after she is desexed.

If you are looking for a sweet, chilled cat who is very low-maintenance and quiet, then you should meet Penelope.

Dawn is a diluted calico cat with white socks and a split face. She has beautiful eyes that span from amber to jade depending on lighting. Although shy and timid upon first meeting, when she learns to trust a human Dawn bonds extremely well with humans. She is very affectionate and loves head pats, she even stands on her hind legs and launches herself up to receive pets and loves scratches on the chin. When you lay down in bed and put a soft blanket over yourself she will instantly come and lay in between your legs.
Dawn was found with her daughter (Shadow) near a bushy area next to a shopping centre carpark and taken in by her foster carers. Even though Dawn has been a mother before she is still only around a year old and not a fully grown kitty herself. She was a young mother and still has kitten energy and is just as playful as Shadow.
Shadow and Dawn are a bonded pair and will only be adopted together however having the both of them in a household is a blessing. Their relationship is everything you would want in a two cat household- they keep each other enriched with play and also never lonely with cuddles and grooming. They also lean on one another emotionally even though they are almost opposite personalities, but you are really getting the best of both worlds.
Dawn cannot wait to find her forever home and enjoy the rest of her life in a safe and happy home.

Shadow is a beautiful blue grey kitten with striking amber eyes, white socks and a white milk moustache. She has an innate passion for exploration and always appreciates a felt ball flicked her way. She is a high energy cat who loves play time everyday- chasing feather toys and her mothers tail. Shadow is a particularly confident cat and will adapt to new places very quickly, at her first vaccination she was even lounging on the vet's desk like she owned the place!

Initially living in a bushy area near a carpark with her mother as a stray, Shadow and her mother were taken in by her foster carers and domesticated within days. She was accepting physical touch and purring within the first 24 hours and since then has not seen a cold night out since.

She is bonded to her mother and will be adopted out as a pair which is an absolute blessing for any potential adopter. Shadow and her mother (Dawn) keep great company with each other, chasing each other and cuddling on a daily basis and enriching each others lives in the way only a mother and daughter could. Shadow still nurses on her mother from time to time for comfort even though Dawn is far past the point of producing milk.

Shadow is looking forward to finding her forever home with Dawn and cannot wait to befriend some new humans and explore some new places!
