Hi! I'm Mel.
I have been rescuing and rehabilitating street cats since 2015 and have had roughly 80 cats come through my doors. Moving to Rockhampton in 2021 I realised there was a large stray cat population and started to help the local rescues in humanely trapping and rehabilitating them. In 2024 I decided to start my own dedicated cat rescue to bring the street cats stories to the forefront and hopefully take off the pressure from other rescues, council and the RSPCA.
I don't receive government funding, so I rely extensively on the generous support from my followers and the public

ADOPTION FORM
To arrange a meeting with a cat you are interested in;
-
Fill out the EOI / Adoption form. This form doesn't commit you to adopt unless you find the right fit.
-
I will contact you to schedule a meeting with your chosen pet.
-
If we both agree, the adoption can proceed. Payment of the adoption fee is required within seven (7) days before taking your new furry family member home.
-
Your pet’s vet certificates will be emailed to you two weeks later, unless you're picking them up directly from the vet.
-
If the adoption doesn't work out and our support hasn't resolved issues within two weeks, return the cat to Street Purr Rescue and receive a refunded adoption fee.
