Geelong Animal Rescue GAR Limited is a registered not-for-profit organization, established in April 2012. Based in Geelong, Victoria, GAR is run by unpaid volunteers who are dedicated to the rescue and rehoming of unwanted animals. We are funded by the generous donations of animal welfare minded supporters. Welcome to Geelong Animal Rescue. Happy Meet Happy – The kitty who lives up to her name! She's cheerful, charming, and has exactly zero chill when it comes to attention. Touch her once? She’s purring. Breathe in her direction? Purring. Think about maybe petting her? Already purring. Affection is her default setting, and she expects you to keep up. Happy is the kind of cat who assumes every room is hers and every person is on standby for cuddles. She's not above inserting herself between you and... Read More Schwartz & Aella Everyone, meet Schwartz & Aella! All hail the brotherhood of zoomies, wrestling matches, and couch cuddles. Schwartz (sleek and black as midnight) and Aella (tabby with a dash of cheek) are your classic brotherly duo: they play hard, nap harder, and never let each other out of sight. One minute they’re tearing through the halls like tiny lions on a hunt, the next they’re curled up together purring so loudly you can hear them from the next room. Their Royal Pastimes Include: -... Read More Atlas Everyone meet Atlas! Are you looking for some laughter and extra fun in your life? Look no further! Atlas loves to live life in the fast lane. She is extremely energetic and playful, she loves getting into any tight space she can and exploring every nook and cranny she can reach. Not one to sit still, she can often be found zooming around corners (often crashing into walls) and bringing her toys to you to throw so she can 'hunt'... Read More

Meet Agatha Christie!

A gentle soul with a heart as soft as her fur. After bravely raising her two curious little detectives, Hercule Poirot and Miss Marple, this quiet queen is ready to write her own next chapter—with a loving home of her own.

Agatha is a sweet, shy soul who blossoms in a calm environment. She’ll quietly come over when called, lean in for pats, and often curl up on your lap in the evening like a little purring mystery solved. She’s playful in her own gentle way—battling toys with dainty precision—and adores cosy indoor spots to nap the day away. She’d be perfectly content as your one-and-only, or would peacefully coexist with a laid-back feline friend.

The case is simple: Agatha is ready to love and be loved. All she needs now is the perfect partner to solve the mystery of her forever home.

Agatha has been an indoor only cat while living in foster care and must continue this in her forever home for her own safety and the safety of the wildlife.

Agatha is desexed, microchipped, up to date with vaccinations, flea and worm treatments

RUBBLE

It's now 2 months post op for Rubble, and we have amazing news from his vet team!

"We had Rubble in today for post hip replacement radiographs. All looked great - the specialists have reviewed radiographs also and are happy for him to go back to normal activity!"

Rubble's recovery has been quite smooth, especially considering he is an active boy and very keen to get back to normal activities. To celebrate the good news on Friday, he tested out his new hip with some crazy play and pulled up with no issues!

The total for his surgery was $10,987.39. With your help, we have raised an incredible amount of $4020!

This outcome for Rubble would not have been possible without the generosity of our kind donors, so from all of us at Geelong Animal Rescue, and Rubble - a very sincere thank-you for helping us raise the much-needed funds towards his surgery 🖤

Maple – Shy Girl, Soft Heart, A+ Roommate!

Maple didn’t have the easiest start in life, and she’s not about to pretend otherwise. She’s a little cautious, a little reserved, and fully uninterested in forced affection. But give her a minute — and the right head scratch — and you’ll unlock the purr motor she’s been hiding under all that quiet charm.

She’s not a show-off. She’s not a diva. She’s just Maple — sweet, observant, and always watching with those heartbreakingly huge eyes, until she decides you are her safe person. Once she’s comfortable, Maple transforms into a total sweetheart. Cuddles? Yes. Scratches? Absolutely — but on her terms, thank you. Consent is key.

Maple is tight with her foster bestie, Happy. They explore together, nap together, and occasionally judge the humans together. She’s intrigued by the grumpy old resident cat, and diplomatically avoids the dog — no drama, no fuss. She’s also adapted like a pro to the chaos of life with small kids and two other pets... though we think she’d prefer a slightly calmer home — maybe with a couple or older kids who respect her space.

Why Maple Might Be Your Girl:
Quiet at first, but worth the wait
Cuddly once you’ve earned it
Is happy to be around other cats
Navigates drama in her own special way
Those eyes? Unfairly powerful
If you’re patient, kind, and ready for a cat who’ll love you deeply, Maple’s waiting.

Maple has been an indoor only cat while in foster care and must continue this in her forever home for her own safety and the safety of our wildlife.

Maple is desexed, microchipped, up to date with vaccinations, flea and worm treatments.
