Domestic Short Hair - male - 4 years and 5 months
Meet Scully! Scully is a tender‑hearted little soul who’s looking for a calm, loving home where he can feel truly safe. He’s an independent, quiet companion who blossoms slowly, but beautifully, once he knows he can trust you.
As a kitten, Scully survived a significant head injury, and because of that he thrives best in a peaceful, predictable environment. He’s a shy boy at first, preferring to observe from a comfortable distance, but with patience and kindness he begins to show his curious nature.
During the day, Scully enjoys long, cosy naps in his favourite hideaways. But when he hears the sound of dinner, no matter where he is, he’ll trot over with enthusiasm. He has a quirky charm that makes him unique and needs a loving home.
Scully is perfect for someone who appreciates a cat that is quiet company rather than constant attention, someone who understands that trust is earned slowly and lovingly. A home without younger children is more suited to Scully as he can be scared of loud noises.
He is desexed, vaccinated, and strictly an indoor‑only cat.
If you have a peaceful home and a patient heart, Scully will reward you with a bond that feels truly special.
Located in Acacia Gardens near Parklea.
Scully has been in foster care since 05 April 2022, for 4.3 years
DSH - male - 4 years and 10 months
Murphy is a handsome young cat, he came into care after being found in a school yard with his siblings at the young age of 7 weeks.
He is a nervous boy and would be best suited to a home where he will be the only cat where he can bond with his new family. He is in care with 2 other cats who demand cuddles and attention, this means Murphy just stays at arms length as he is nervous.
Murphy loves to play and sleep with his 2 foster cats, he loves to sit at the door and watch the world go by.
Murphy is happy to come and sit on the lounge beside you when the other cats are not around but as soon as they come up for cuddles he leaves them to it, this is why I think he deserves a home of his own where he won’t have to compete for attention
Murphy has been in foster care since 09 June 2022, for 4.2 years
DSH - female - 3 years and 9 months
.
.Valentine is Desexed, Vaccinated (until March 2026), and you and your family are very welcome to arrange a meeting to see if Val is the right girl for you!
Valentine is a very graceful and curious young lady who would be perfectly suited to an older person in a quieter household, plus excellent company for another cat/s or cat-safe dog/s. Once she trusts you, Val is an affectionate and interactive companion, but she is not a cat who likes to be restrained as she panics, so not recommended for children.
Valentine dislikes being carried around (until she trusts you), but loves pats, brushes, food treats, and of course a sunny windowsill! Flying insects will keep her occupied for hours, plus she does love a laser light or chase toy - natural hunting instincts are strong with this one!
Val needs mental stimulation to be her best self and I would recommend having a cat safe/secure yard for her to explore only under supervision. Val always keeps me company when I'm at the clothesline, gardening or just having a cuppa outside. However, you would need to have her for a few months, and know her behavior/reactions well, before taking her outside.
The reduced adoption fee is $160 and Valentine is:
MEDICAL: Due to pain and inflammation of her gums/teeth, DCH funded Val to have major dental surgery in January 2026, which was completed very successfully, and she is now a healthy 3yr old cat. Valentine has had many teeth removed and is now pain-free and living her best life, which does not affect at all, the foods she eats.
Please use the "Send enquiry email" link below, if you have any questions or if you are interested in meeting Valentine. Just include in your email, whether you’ve owned cats before, and why you’re genuinely interested in adopting Valentine.
PLEASE NOTE: I no longer receive phone calls/messages from unknown mobiles, but I will contact you as soon as I receive your email enquiry.
Valentine has been in foster care since 10 February 2023, for 3.5 years
