About Bridgerton
***WE'RE ALWAYS ON THE LOOKOUT FOR FOSTER CARERS TO HELP US OUT SO IF YOU THINK YOU CAN PROVIDE A TEMPORARY HOME FOR ONE OF OUR BEAUTIFUL CATS PLEASE LET US KNOW. THE MORE CARERS WE HAVE AVAILABLE TO LEND A HAND THE MORE CATS WE CAN HELP REHOME***
A bit of a sad story this one.
Little Bridgerton was found on the Westgate bridge (hence the name Bridgerton) and rescued by a random good samaritan who was passing by. We think someone may have thrown him out of a car window as they we're driving but we'll never know for sure.
The kind person then reached out to our sister rescue and where he was then dropped off. Bridgerton spent a few weeks with them, and they also tried him with a foster carer, but never seemed to improve. His past trauma has left him afraid of people and terrified of human touch. If you try and pat him he will hiss and swat you.
Bridgerton does however love other cats so we have brought him to our rescue in the hope that running around with the other cats here will help him to adjust, relax and eventually begin to trust people again. So far we are just letting him do his own thing in the hope that he will eventually come around.
Bridgerton would make an ideal farm cat if you're just looking for a kitty to hang around the house, play with your other cats and catch the local pests. He would also make a great companion if you're looking for a friend for your current cat. As long as you don't mind not being able to pat him. Although we're still hopeful this will improve in time and will not give up trying.
Bridgerton is approximately 6 months old and has been desexed, microchipped and vaccinated and is available for adoption right meow.
If you think you have the room in your heart and your home to provide this gorgeous fella with a great life please let us know and we’ll be more than happy to arrange a time for you to meet and fall in love with him.

A little about us:
Urban Feline Australia is a newly established cat rescue service, run by one passionate individual with the help of friends and volunteers, that is dedicated to keeping cats out of kill shelters and helping them find loving forever homes. We specialize in helping "surrenders" which are cats that have lived with humans previously but for one reason or another their owners are unfortunately no longer able to look after them. We take your pets into our amazing cat sanctuary where they're treated with love and affection until the right forever home is found for them.
Urban Feline Australia is not a large company with government resources, a large facility and a lot of staff. Our tiny rescue is a one man operation run from the safety of our own home. We do this for the love of animals and our only agenda is to save as many cats as we can. We rely heavily on cooperation from friends, other rescues, our amazing foster carers and the kindness of strangers to survive. Every cent we receive from donations and adoption fees is used to keep our rescue running and cover the cost of food, water, litter, equipment and vet bills for the animals in our care.
We are doing as much as we can right now but our dream is to one day be able to purchase a larger property or facility that would allow us to be able to save the lives of many more cats in need. Perhaps even open a cat cafe so that we can spread our message to a wider audience.
We have recently created a Go Fund Me towards this end so if you would like to donate towards our cause please follow the below link.

Adoption details
We try to make things very easy and straight forward. The first step in the adoption process is a quick chat over the phone to make you are a good fit for the cats needs and personality. From there we arrange a meet and greet at the soonest possible time.
