Floki
Julie describes Floki as gentle and calm, with a cheeky side when he chases the other cats. He sleeps on the bed and watches birds through the screen door and windows. A comfortable place to be himself.

Life after adoption
Cats at home, as shared by their people. Couch companions, little characters and the occasional household inspector.
Pippa and Luna
Kitten Pippa joined seven-year-old Luna in May 2026. Bronte took introductions slowly, with advice and check-ins from Pippa’s foster mum. Five months on, they play and share their space. They are not cuddle buddies yet. Pip keeps everyone busy with fetch, face kisses and a fascination with water.

Anakin and Freddy
Anakin and Freddy came home on May the 4th, Star Wars Day. Wayne says they are friendly stickybeaks who like helping with Lego, tummy rubs and a brush. Anakin still has the occasional disagreement with the toilet paper.

Jessie, also called Miracle
Jenny says Jessie spends her days on window patrol, chattering at birds and finding a sunny spot. Pats and lap time happen on her terms, with the occasional surprise ambush around the ankles. A little cat who brings a lot of love into the house.

Inspector Oscar
Oscar, formerly Butterball, came home as a six-month-old kitten in October 2015. Eleven years later, Kathleen says he still inspects the printer, laptop and iPad, joins Zoom meetings and curls up with Charlie. There is always work for the household inspector.

Shadow and Raven

Millie, the Moo-Cat

Chris Hemsworth
Chris needed time. Wendy says he spent his first six months hiding, slowly finding his confidence with patience and love. He stayed, and is now eight years old. These days he shares home with Ollie and helps show foster cat Arnold how things work.

Ollie
Ollie, formerly Sundance, settled in straight away. Wendy describes him as affectionate and close to Chris Hemsworth. He enjoys a brush and spends time with the older cat who helped make this house his home.
