Cats are our passion & rescue is our mission. When we were opening the cafe in 2015 we wanted to create the purrfect environment for cat lovers from all over to enjoy while interacting with cats..

All of the cats we had in the cafe were rescue cats who had been brought into our rescue from a variety of different situations. Unlike many other cat cafés around the world all of our cats were up for adoption.

Our adoption process is very stringent. We need to know that you have carefully considered all that is involved with adding a fur baby or two to your family. This commitment is for the life of the cat, and could be more than 20 years.

If you are not in a position to adopt a fur baby just yet, we are always in need of more foster carers to look after and love the cats we have in care.

We hope to provide knowledge and tips on the care and nutrition of moggies and provide support especially to new adopting parents.

Keep an eye on our events page for our Fundraising Cat Info and Q&A nights.

Pussies Galore Rescue (Facebook) is a small Brisbane based rescue dedicated to saving the lives of the unwanted, abandoned, and abused cats of Brisbane and surrounds. Many of the animals we save are found abandoned by their owners, surrendered to us for many different reasons, or rescued from death row in council pounds.

Our rescue was established over 25 years ago as a safe haven for cats that were due to be put to sleep for whatever reason. We are proud to maintain a strict no-kill policy, caring for and rehoming cats that would otherwise be considered unhomable.

Because we are a small rescue we operate without a shelter and rely on a network of dedicated foster carers, volunteers and supporters.

Some of the animals in our care have special needs, which can range from medical conditions, shyness, or old age. We provide all the love, attention and veterinary care they need to treat their illnesses or behavioural problems. Many of them make a full recovery and are happy & healthy, ready to find their furever homes. Some of the animals that come into our care stay with us for the remainder of their natural lives if they are unable to be rehomed for any reason or require palliative care.

Katina Balson, the founder and brilliant mind behind Pussies Galore Rescue and the Cat Cuddle Cafe (Facebook) had dreamed of opening a cat cafe in Brisbane for many years, and in 2015 that dream finally became a reality.

Katina is also a wildlife carer and helps with other animal rescues. Not at all speciest.
