🚨 AUGUST SPECIAL – INTERSTATE ADOPTIONS 🚨
North Queensland is facing an overwhelming cat crisis, and our rescue is at capacity. To help more cats and kittens in need, SANA Animal Welfare & Rehabilitation is waiving all adoption fees for interstate adoptions throughout August.
🐾 You only need to cover the cost of transport.
Every cat and kitten leaves our care:
❤️ Desexed
💉 Vaccinated
📍 Microchipped
🩺 Veterinary health checked
🛡️ Up to date with parasite prevention
🩷 1 month of complimentary pet insurance included
Every time you adopt, you save two lives—the one you take home, and the one we can rescue because you’ve made space in our care.
We regularly arrange safe transport Australia-wide and are happy to guide you through the process.
💌 Send us a message to meet our available cats and kittens, or tag someone looking for their newest family member.
Offer valid for interstate adoptions only until 31 August. Transport costs apply.
**The reality for cats in Townsville**
Every year, thousands of cats and kittens in North Queensland are euthanised — not because they aren't worthy of love, but because the system is overwhelmed. Low desexing rates in the community mean unplanned litters arrive faster than shelters and welfare groups can cope with. Shelters are overcrowded, funding is stretched, and for many cats, time simply runs out.
The numbers are sobering: 70% of cats that enter shelters are never reclaimed — and of those, 46% are euthanised. These aren't just statistics. They are cats and kittens exactly like these ones, who simply ran out of time and space.
✔️ Desexed
✔️ Vaccinated
✔️ Microchipped
✔️ Veterinary checked
✔️ 1 month complimentary pet insurance
✔️ Kitten care pack including premium kitten food & one month's parasite prevention

No known pre-existing conditions.
🌸 Tilly – The Devoted Mama
Tilly is a gentle, loving mum who has done a wonderful job raising her seven babies, even adopting Tails and Tailless, our two kittens that were hit by a car. She has a calm and affectionate nature and enjoys human company. I know I shouldn’t have favourites but if I did, Tilly would be it. Tilly is the friendliest, most loving, easy going cat you could ever ask for. Till will happily sit nearby or in your lap keeping you company with soft purrs and loving eyes.
After raising her little Easter basket of kittens, it’s finally time for Tilly to be someone’s baby too.
