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. Coconut Meet Coconut! Don't let her tiny size fool you—this beautiful little girl has a quiet confidence that shines through in everything she does. Although she was the smallest of her siblings, she's never left behind. Whether it's chasing the laser toy, exploring, or joining in a game, she's always eager to be part of the fun. Coconut’s siblings (Bounty, Toffee and Snickers) have all found their forever home and now it’s Coco’s turn! Coconut has a gentle, trusting nature and one...

These sweet siblings are a devoted little duo and are looking for a home where they can stay together. Barbie and Ken carry the weight of the world on their tiny shoulders, so they can be timid around new people. Give them a little time, patience and kindness, though, and they blossom into loyal, affectionate and surprisingly chatty companions. Ken came with factory-installed orange-cat tendencies, but...

Sadly, her owner passed away, and her world was turned upside down. While she’s safe in foster care, what she truly needs is a quiet home of her own. Scootie is in good health and up to date with all her vet work, including a recent dental where she had a clean and a few teeth removed—this hasn’t slowed her... Read More

🐈 VINNIE 🐈
BREED: DMH
GENDER: Male
AGE: 2 years
MICROCHIP: 956000018442076
GAR ID: 2363

Meet Vinnie at Petstock Drysdale! He will be hanging out in our adoption pen, waiting for you to come and visit him. 💕

Vinnie is a shy, quirky, but stunning young man who is looking for the perfect furever family.

When Vinnie first came into the GAR family, it quickly became apparent that he had never learnt to be a cat or trust humans. Since then, our late bloomer has learnt how to do the zoomies, jump up onto the couch and the bed (anything higher is a bit too scary) and use his scratching post. He absolutely loves batting his toy mice around the house all day and of course, food.

Since being in care, Vinnie has shown his foster mum that he likes to sleep with all four paws up in the air, drink from the shower base and snuffle into his foster mum’s clothes. He now enjoys pats, ear and butt scratches on his own terms but is still wary about being touched on the head.

While Vinnie has made a lot of progress, he scares easily and will run away and hide. He is likely to take a while to warm to his new humans, but once you gain his trust, he will be your loyal shadow. No more cooking, showering or going to the bathroom on your own. If you’re looking for a lap warmer though, he’s not your guy. He is happier hanging out on the floor next to you.

Vinnie’s would be best suited to a quiet home with a single person or couple. His new pawrents would need to be patient and understanding while he navigates this new world.

We believe that he may have been injured in his former life and has been diagnosed with a low- grade luxating patella in his back right leg and a “crunchy” front left leg. While it doesn’t seem to trouble him, he will intermittently start limping which requires some pain relief mediation. With this in mind, it is important that he continues his indoor only life for his own safety.

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

An update on little Opal!

It’s hard to believe it’s already been 2 weeks since Opal’s amputation, and we’re so happy to share that she is doing incredibly well.

This week, Opal returned to the vet for her check-up, where she spent her time exploring the clinic, charming everyone she met, and soaking up plenty of well-deserved cuddles.

Her stitches have been removed, and the vet is thrilled with how well she’s recovering.

Over the coming weeks, her foster carer will be focusing on keeping her calm as possible (no easy task for a curious kitten) while helping her build strength in her left shoulder and front leg.

Thanks to your generous donations, Opal has received the surgery and ongoing veterinary care she needed to give her the best possible start. Your kindness has truly changed her life.

Despite now having 3 legs, Opal isn’t letting anything slow her down. She continues to surprise us every day with her resilience, confidence, and playful spirit.

From Opal and everyone at GAR, thank you for making stories like hers possible. We couldn’t do it without you.
