4 Paws Cats
If you are interested in having a 4 Paws feline friend as a new addition to your family then choosing to adopt, foster or become a permanent carer is a great decision.
The cats shown below are all in need of a safe home, either on a temporary Foster basis, through Adoption or by joining your household as a 4 Paws Permanent Resident.
FOSTER CARE - These cats are in need of a temporary foster home whilst we prepare them for adoption. To read more about our Foster Program and to submit an application to get involved as a Foster Carer please click here.
ADOPT - These cats are in need of a new family. Adopting a 4 Paws cat enables you to be fully responsible for their care when they join your family. To read more about our Adoption process and to submit an Adoption Enquiry to be considered as their new owner please click here.

PERMANENT CARE - These cats are usually elderly or special needs cats that require safe and loving care for the remainder of their days. 4 Paws covers all veterinary expenses for these cats.

If you are unable to care for a Permanent Resident however, you would still like to help them consider Sponsoring a Permanent Resident, please click here to learn more.
Please note, in line with Sunshine Coast Council guidelines, all 4 Paws Animal Rescue cats are to be kept as 100% indoor cats, unless supervised in a secure outdoor run, ensuring that they are contained to your property at all times.

At 9 years old, Buddy has clearly been a very much loved and cherished companion. Although his world has been turned upside down, he's settled into our cattery remarkably well and thanks to his gentle, affectionate nature, has quickly become a firm favourite with our volunteers.
Buddy enjoys attention, loves interacting with people and still has plenty of enthusiasm for a bit of fun. He's the sort of cat that you'll easily fall in love with.
He's healthy, vet checked, vaccinated, desexed and microchipped.
With his gentle nature and love of human company, we think he'll make the perfect companion for someone looking for a lovely, smoochy cat to share their days with.

He's a friendly, affectionate boy who'll quietly let you know what he's after.

He loves lying the in the sunshine and, on cooler days, getting under the bed covers.
He's happiest when he can choose to settle beside you or climb onto your lap, rather than being picked up.
Jasper would suit a quiet home without other cats or young children, as loud noises and sudden movements can frighten him.

Mr Pickles has tested positive for both FIV and FeLV (Feline Leukaemia Virus). Neither of these conditions can be transmitted to people or dogs.
It does mean that Mr Pickles needs to live a strictly indoor life and be placed in an only cat home.
As a Permanent Resident cat, 4 Paws will cover Mr Pickles vet care for life.
What we need from a special person is a safe, loving home and someone willing to give this gorgeous gent the life he deserves.
Mr Pickles may come with a couple of medical labels, but they don't define him. He has so much love to give and just needs someone to give him that second chance.


Despite everything though, he's an extremely affectionate, gentle and loving boy who adores human company.

She’s looking for a calm, loving home without children or other pets, where she can be understood and cherished for exactly who she is.
