About Us

Atlantis Cat Rescue is a not-for-profit animal welfare organisation dedicated to caring for, rehabilitating and rehoming cats and kittens in need of a ‘furever’ home. We take in cats and kittens from council pounds or surrendered by owners who are no longer in a position to care for them anymore. We take the philosophy that we will never euthanise a cat or kitten who is capable of being rehomed, no matter how long it takes. While it can be necessary to euthanise a cat or kitten who has an illness or injury they can't survive and just causes them to suffer, we believe there is a solution for all cats that support their best life.

Atlantis Cat Rescue also aims to advocate for improvements in the treatment of cats, educate the community about cat welfare, and find new and innovative ways in which we can better support the welfare of our feline friends into the future. 

Established in 2020, Atlantis has grown from its humble beginnings in Craigieburn, rescuing strays from a hard life on suburban streets, to becoming a much-needed service that focuses on  cats’ and kittens’ physical, emotional and social wellbeing. Atlantis cats and kittens are nurtured in a loving home environment to ensure they are house-trained and ready for a lifetime of play, cuddles and companionship for the ‘purrfect’ person or family!

Rescuing these loveable furry friends and preparing them for rehoming can also require significant and expensive veterinary treatment as well as ongoing every daily care (such as food, litter and other enrichment tools), which means thousands of dollars spent on care. As a result, we rely on the help of foster carers, volunteers and the generosity of our donors to continue supporting the ever-increasing numbers of cats and kittens in need, and for this we are immensely grateful.

We encourage everyone to support the cause of improving the welfare of cats and kittens and help us save lives by volunteering with us and/or donate to us today!
