Tiggy
Meet Tiggy - Sass Personified!
Tiggy is a bouncy, affectionate cat that is fascinated with water, just turn on a tap and watch her come running; sticking her paw into the water or putting her mouth under to get the last drops of water from the tap. She will drink water from anywhere in the house other than her bowl. You can find her chilling in the bathroom sink when you want to clean or sitting in the kitchen sink...

Monet
Meet Monet!
Hi, I’m Monet! I may be a big kitten, but I’m full of life, curiosity, and playful energy.
I absolutely love playtime. Give me balls, string toys, mice, or crinkle balls and I’m in heaven! I’m also a big fan of chasing toes under blankets (watch out!) and doing my morning zoomies to start the day right. I also enjoy a good rough and tumble play session with my foster siblings, it’s all part of the fun! I’m...

Happy Foster Friday! It's Take your pet to work week, so we are showcasing a few of the best work from home co-workers.
A few of our foster cats have mastered the art of being the perfect work from home companions by: 🐱Stealing office chairs 🐱Testing out pens 🐱Claiming the keyboard as the perfect place for an afternoon nap 🐱Making guest appearances during calls 🐱Keeping a close eye on neighbourhood 🐱Encouraging regular cuddle breaks ... Read MoreSee Less
If you are in the unfortunate circumstance that your pet is missing, here's what to do:
- Check their microchip details are up to date so if they are scanned at a vet or GAWS they will be able to reach you. - Call their local vet clinics - Call GAWS (shelter in Moolap) - Post on the local lost and found pet pages on Facebook - Create lost and found posters
Here at Geelong Animal Rescue, we can’t take strays. A lost animal would never come to us.
They always must either be surrendered by their legal owner or via a pound we have an 84y agreement with, meaning they would have done their 8 day stray stay by that stage.
Strays/Losties can’t bypass the stray hold, so if they wind up at a pound they have 8 days to collect.
Did you know any donation to a charity over $2 is tax deductible?
Now more than ever, we're in need of donations. GAR is 100% run by volunteers, so any and all donations go straight back into the rescue and rehabilitation of our animals.
Our adoption fees only cover 29% of our expenses. This means the remaining 71% is covered by your generous donations and fundraising.
Any amount means an incredible amount to us and appreciate the endless support by you all. 💙
