I had a wonderful experience here a few weeks ago when I adopted my cat from the AWLQLD Warra…read moreShelter. As soon as we got there, multiple volunteers were happy to talk, answer any questions and take kitties out of their cages for us to pat and play with. The cats looked well cared for and in good health. For me, choosing just one cat was a very different decision, and my partner and I spent well over an hour at the shelter. I apologised to the volunteers for taking so long to come to a decision, but they reassured me that I have nothing to apologise for as it's a very big decision and the last thing they want is for us to go home with the wrong pet for our lifestyle. Finally, I came to the decision of adopting a gorgeous domestic medium-hair kitty named Lilo. The volunteers were very helpful throughout the entire process, providing us with a cardboard box carrier and blanket free of charge, going through all necessary paperwork, and showing us which brand/type of food and litter we needed to purchase to help the cat transition into her new home. Overall, I had a very positive experience at this shelter, and will definitely be coming back if I decide to get another furry baby!

I went to Willawong Animal Shelter in search of a dog for adoption with my friend. We'd driven…read morequite a way to get there, believing we'd be able to peruse some dogs for sale, but found out upon arrival that it's just a place for lost animals, not for adopting. You can go there looking for your lost animal, but in order to adopt, you must go out to their adoption centre at Bracken Ridge on the other side of town. This was a bit disappointing as the Brisbane City Council website makes out that this is an adoption centre. If looking to adopt a dog on this side of town, best to head to the RSPCA centre at Wacol.

Completely Bizarre, and truly a must add bucket list item for everyone, even non cat-lovers. You…read morecan buy coffee and cake upstairs before you go down to "Play" with the cats. But I would recommend just bringing a drink down, because with a slice of cake, and not many seating options in the cat area, it made finishing off the cake a bit awkward. Upstairs in the main cafe they have some board games, and lots of seating options. Seriously... you have to do it!!!

"Dogs come when they're called. Cats take a message and get back to you."…read more- Mary Bly Adore cats and fancy an hour of cat cuddles? Looking to give a great home to a little puss cat that might not had the best of starts in life and commit to giving cuddles on demand? Well the Cat Cuddle Café is the place to go. You need to book online to visit as the owner, who is super passionate about rescuing and rehoming cats, ensures that the cats are not over stressed by having too many people visit, in addition to ensuring the small numbers per hour timeslot enable you to get some quality cat time. Located in Red Hill Brisbane the little café entrance leads you downstairs to the reception area. When you arrive you are greeted and check-in and then ask to read and agree to some rules................simple rules like: wash you hands before and after you visit the cats, leave sleeping cats to snooze in peace, no loud noises that could scare the little fluffy wanabe Lion cubs. Due to Australian Health and Safety requirements the barrister is located in the reception area which is catless and you can order up your favourite coffee and can take this into the cat lounge. You can view the cats whilst you wait for your timeslot to start and you can see that the lounge is a real cat space. Cat toys, beds, tunnels, a cat running wheel and I even found a mini cat tent make this space cat heaven. There is also an outdoor area too where the little ones can bask in the sun and get some fresh air. When I visited there were a range of cats, some very lively kittens in addition to some very relaxed older cats who seemingly preferred to bask in the sun and watch the kittens do 100m sprints than bother to lift paw and partake in any exercise whatsoever. There is a cat profile wall in the cat lounge so you can look up the names of your favourite fur ball in addition to seeing their friends who have found new homes. There is a table and sofa to take a seat at but be careful you don't disturb a resting cat who may have already claimed a chair for themselves. All in all this is a rather lovely business that is really focused on helping rescue cats find great new homes. So if you are on the hunt for a cat why not visit Cat Cuddle Café to find your perfect feline partner? It is only $10 per person per visit for up to 1 hour and you really get to see the personality of the cats and can chose one that will best get on with you. "Dogs have owners, cats have staff." - Unknown (but feel free to attribute it to me!) Not looking for a cat right now.........well just drop by and have a cat fix. Just by visiting you are helping the company raise money enabling them to continue to rescue and provide a great temporary home for cats looking for new staff to serve their every need!
