CLARABEL
DOB: 10/03/2022
Sex: Female
Breed: British Shorthair
Coat: Short
Microchip: 956000015000574
Location: Mornington, VIC
Adoption Fee: $800
Clara is a three-year-old British Shorthair looking for a forever home where she can finally be loved and cherished for who she is.
She’s a gentle little shadow! Sweet, soft-natured, and happiest when she’s quietly nearby, waiting patiently for a pat or some attention. Like most British Shorthairs, Clara isn’t a fan of being picked up, but she adores being close and simply wants to be part of your world.
With time to settle into her foster home, Clara’s playful side has blossomed. She enjoys batting around ping pong balls, sneaking into cupboards, and curling up in a cosy, enclosed bed. A keen bird-watcher, she can spend hours soaking up the sun from a windowsill, contentedly watching the world go by.
Clara hasn’t had the easiest start to life. After being passed around by breeders, she can still be startled if touched in the wrong spot or approached too quickly. While she enjoys pats, she isn’t quite a snuggler yet but with patience, kindness, and the security of a calm home, we know she’ll continue to grow in confidence and affection.
She would do best in an adult home, or with older, respectful teenage children who understand her need for space in the beginning. Clara has been in foster care alongside Clementine (who she arrived with) and would happily coexist with a proven cat-friendly feline companion. A small, gentle dog may be manageable, but larger or boisterous dogs may overwhelm her.
Clara has been desexed, microchipped, and is up to date with her parasite treatments and vaccinations. She is currently in care in Mornington and is seeking a forever home within a reasonable driving distance.
If you’re looking for a gentle, sweet companion to share your world with, and you’re happy to go at her pace, Clara may be the perfect addition to your home.
CLEMENTINE
DOB: 10/02/2020
Sex: Female
Breed: British Shorthair
Coat: Short
Microchip: 991003000533757
Location: Mornington, VIC
Adoption Fee: $800
Clem is a sweet, sassy girl with plenty to say! She’s a real chatterbox who thrives on affection and loves being part of whatever you’re doing.
If you’ve got a lap, she’ll find it. If there’s a bed, expect her to be your snuggle buddy. Playful and curious, Clem is always in the middle of the action whether she’s scaling her favourite cat tower, chasing ping pong balls around the living room, or supervising board game night like the queen she knows she is.
After many years of being used for breeding, Clem is finally ready to be loved and cherished for herself, not for the kittens she could produce. She is affectionate and people-focused, but like many British Shorthairs, she prefers attention on her terms. Being picked up isn’t her favourite thing, but she’s more than happy to keep you company, and once settled, she’ll always be nearby wherever the people are.
We aren’t sure if she was a baker or a locksmith in a past life.. she’s an enthusiastic biscuit maker with her paws, and she’s also figured out how to open doors!
Since being desexed, Clem has been much happier to spend time with Clara (who she arrived in care with), and the two often do zoomies together. She would be comfortable in a home with another friendly cat, but would also thrive as an only cat. A small, gentle dog might be manageable for her, though a larger or boisterous dog would likely overwhelm her.
Clem is looking for a family who will support her to be the best cat she can be, even if that means a little patience while she settles in. She would most enjoy life in a quiet home with a single person or adult couple, though respectful older teenagers may also suit her well.
While in care, Clem has been desexed, microchipped, and is up to date with her parasite treatments and vaccinations. She is currently in foster care in Mornington and is seeking a forever home within a reasonable driving distance.
If you’re looking for a chatty, affectionate, and playful companion who will bring personality and warmth to your days, Clem might just be the perfect addition to your home.
🍭 Chupa chup 🍭
DOB: 02/04/2018
Sex: Female
Breed: British Shorthair
Coat: Short
Microchip: 956000016637741
Location: Brighton, VIC
Adoption Fee: $800
Chupa Chup is a classic British Shorthair: plush, poised, and packed with personality. At seven years old, she’s got enough wisdom to know what she likes and the confidence to claim it. She was surrendered to the pound due to her owners “allergies” but because of a dot in her eye they reached out to us so we could get her the care she needed.
A suspicious dot in her eye turned out to require laser surgery, and thanks to Animal Eye Care, her vision has been preserved for now. Her post-op recovery is going beautifully, and she has a follow-up appointment booked in late August. The appointment, conveniently located in Malvern, is fully covered by us. Her adopter will need to keep an eye (pun intended!) on her long-term eye health and be prepared for possible eye removal in the future if it becomes necessary.
But don’t let that slow you down. Chupa Chup certainly doesn’t! This curious adventurer loves to explore, scale shelves, perch on benches, and claim your bed like the queen she is. She’s especially fond of shoulder-sitting while you work, and may even have a quick nap there if you let her.
Chupa Chup is also a bit of a shadow. She loves to be wherever you are, and will happily follow you from room to room, just to stay close and see what you’re up to. Whether you're working, relaxing, or heading to the kitchen for a snack, she’ll be right behind you, ready to supervise.
She’s seeking an indoor-only home or one with a secure outdoor cat enclosure where she can safely sunbathe and birdwatch to her heart’s content. Sunny windows are a must, as she loves a good perch with a view.
Chupa Chup isn’t keen on other cats and would prefer a home where she’s the only feline ruler. She might tolerate a very respectful, quiet dog who knows their place and gives her space. She’s also confident enough to live with older children (10+) who understand that when a British Shorthair says “no thanks,” they mean it.
She comes desexed, microchipped, vaccinated, and up to date on parasite prevention, all ready to start her new life.
PRINCESS PIXIE
DOB: 12/07/2024
Sex: Female
Breed: French Bulldog
Coat: Short
Microchip: 956000016637741
Location: Carnegie, VIC
Adoption Fee: $2000
Princess Pixie is a young, affectionate, and spirited pup with a personality as big as her name suggests. She adores human company and thrives in a home where someone is around most of the time, whether working from home or willing to take her to the office with them. Loyal and loving, she’ll happily follow her people from room to room, snuggle in close at night, and shower her family with affection.
Pixie’s early months were eventful. At around four months old, she broke her elbow, which unfortunately led to an amputation when the original fix was unsuccessful. Despite this, she is as playful and active as any dog, though her new family will need to help her protect her remaining front leg and ensure she doesn’t overdo it. Fetch is her favourite game, but she needs the humans to tell her when it’s enough or she will go forever!
Her time recovering from surgery meant missing out on some important early socialisation, which has left her a little anxious, particularly around other dogs. She has been working with a trainer to build her confidence and would benefit from ongoing positive reinforcement training in her new home. Pixie is best suited to a home without dogs. She is not a dog park dog, but with consistent training and careful introductions, she may be able to have a calm, well-matched doggy friend in the future.
Pixie would prefer to be the only pet. However, homes with one calm, dog-friendly cat may be considered if the cat can be kept separate for a prolonged period while she adjusts.
Medically, Pixie has already overcome significant challenges. She was originally surrendered to Squishies by her breeder due to a congenital heart condition (pulmonary stenosis), which has since been surgically corrected. Her heart specialist is pleased with her progress, with only a follow-up check recommended at two years of age. She is otherwise healthy and has been desexed, vaccinated, and kept up to date with flea and worming treatments.
Her ideal home will have adults or teenagers (no young children), minimal stairs, and a secure backyard where she can safely run and play. We are happy to consider homes who would like to ‘foster-to-adopt’ Pixie and Squishies will provide access to her trainer to help ensure a smooth transition into her new life.
Pixie is currently in foster care in Carnegie, VIC, and is looking for her forever home in Melbourne or nearby suburbs.
🧡 FLOW 🧡
DOB: 06/03/2016
Sex: Female
Breed: Exotic Shorthair
Coat: Short
Microchip: 991003000149378
Location: Collaroy, NSW
Adoption Fee: $600
👑 Introducing Flow 👑
Say hello to Flow, a delicate and loving lady who radiates soft, feminine energy and wants nothing more than to be the centre of your universe. Once settled in, this stage-five clinger is the ultimate lap cat, always close by for pats, affection, and affirmation that she is, in fact, your favourite being in the world.
Flow would flourish in a quiet, mature home with someone who works from home or is retired, where she can be your ever-present shadow – until she’s ready to claim a sunny window for a solo nap. She loves affection but on her own terms and in her own time. Flow is incredibly sweet and trusting once she feels safe, though she may need patience and time to adjust to a new environment.
She’s not a fan of loud or unpredictable settings, so a dog-free, calm home is ideal. While she’s been fine with visiting children, her sensitive nature makes her a better match for older families or individuals who can respect her boundaries and routine. She has previously co-existed with another cat but isn’t interested in being their bestie. She may be happy to exist with a similar natured cat in her new home but would be perfectly happy to be the only cat.
Like so many squishies, Flow needs help keeping herself pristine – twice-daily gentle eye wipe and weekly mail and ear care. Her litter box habits and scratching post use are perfect, so your furniture is safe!
She is of course, desexed, microchipped and up to date with her vaccinations and parasite treatments. She is currently located in Collaroy, NSW and looking for a home within reasonable driving distance.
Flow is being rehomed through an assisted adoption as her loving owner is relocating overseas. While Flow will remain in her current home for now, her adoption will be supported by Squishies Animal Rescue, and her fee will go directly towards helping other pets in need.
💛 Flow will remain under the Squishies safety net for life.
