Thanks for interest in our kitties that are ready for adoption! The beautiful kitties on this page have been waiting the longest and would love to find their forever home soon. All our kitties have been neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, and registered on the NZ Companion Animal Register. Thank you for understanding that to help us cover these costs, adoption fees apply.

available for adoption

Oscar

Male, approx DOB October 2023

He has a unique character, is very affectionate and loves his cuddles.
Having been rescued, he is now thriving on attention and kindness. He loves playing (he has a box full of toys) and he looooooooves food and would do anything for it.
Our fosterer would love to keep Oscar themselves but unfortunately their own cat isn’t so convinced on it.
Oscar would suit a family with other kids or a couple that have lots of energy to enjoy playing with him.

Buddy

Male, approx DOB January 2024

This wee guy has been through a bit in his life already. Found in Northlake (Wanaka), and suffered an injury to his right eye, Buddy has made a full recovery and can't wait to find his forever home, with either a young family or couple with lots of energy to keep up with his super playful nature. Buddy loves adventure and where the action is. Never wanting to miss out on any opportunity of excitement.

Mini C

Female, approx DOB January 2023




Mini loves to explore her surroundings and is always up for a game of chase or a session with her favorite toys. She's curious and adventurous and loves a good chat making her a great fit for an active household looking for a furry friend to keep them entertained.
Despite her playful nature, Mini also enjoys her downtime and is known to curl up for a catnap in a cozy spot when she's tuckered out from all the excitement. She's affectionate and enjoys being near her humans, but is definitely best suited for an adult household as she likes to come to you for scratches rather than being scooped up and cuddled. She will take some time to warm up to you but when she does she'll make you feel very loved.

Margo

Female, approx DOB December 2023

Is snuggly and a bit lazy, she is the most chilled kitten I have ever seen. Will happily sleep inside your jumper on your chest, and likes to play with wands, but only if she can do it 8n a reclined position on her bed. Margo is being fostered right now with Kiki and they have shown great friendship already. Not looking to rehome them together, but if your looking out to adopt two, then these girls are great together.

Kiki

Female, approx DOB December 2023

This little sweetheart has been so chilled in foster, very playful and curious, but also loves a cuddle on the couch. Kiki is being fostered right now with Margo and they have shown great friendship already. Not looking to rehome them together, but if your looking out to adopt two, then these girls are great together.

Stevie

Female, approx DOB 01/01/2019

Meet the best biscuit maker in Wanaka, Stevie! Whilst was quite shy at first, it only took a couple weeks for her to settle in with us and now she loves to snuggle up with her humans on the couch or on a lap. Equally to cuddles she loves food, naps and her alone time. Would suit someone with a bit of patience to start and who respects her boundries, you will then be rewarded with the sweetest little companion.”
