Today we are on the Sunshine Coast meeting some of the team who run the Silver Lining Pet Rescue – a not-for-profit, no-kill foster-based network that saves hundreds of animals in Queensland every year. We will be joining them at their Halloween themed adoption day at a local pet shop. There I will learn about […]

What would happen if those around you saw your every potential? What if they discarded every notion of what is, and asked themselves – what could be? This is a story of two cats who have experienced exactly that, and today we get to meet them. I first heard about Nathan in 2017 when she […]

This is the story of a grey tabby cat who travelled the stock routes of South-Western Queensland with her devoted owner, Marion.

Goondiwindi Cotton fashion house was born – but as Sam later discovered, there was one member of staff he hadn’t counted on. Official cat duties When I arrived […]

This is the story of Pearl and Merlin, two 2-year-old tabby and white cats from the outback town of St George, Queensland – one of the many Australian towns facing record breaking drought. When I visited them on a dry, sunny spring day in September I was greeted by their cat-mom, 15 year old Molly. […]
