Shrek & Donkey

Meet Inky & Dexter – The Ultimate Shrek & Donkey Duo! 🧅🐴

Looking for a hilarious, heartwarming pair that brings all the magic of Shrek and his best friend Donkey into your home? These two bonded black-and-white tuxedo boys are the real deal, a perfect odd-couple friendship straight out of the swamp!

Dexter (5 years old) is your Shrek:

A striking, confident black-and-white gentleman who carries himself with cool, quiet charm. He’s independent, loves his personal space, and enjoys lounging in the best spots in the house like the king of the swamp. Dexter is naturally curious and observant, approaching life at his own steady pace. He’s not loud or demanding, he’s sophisticated, calm, and intelligent, often choosing high vantage points to watch the world go by. But beneath that “get off my lawn” exterior is a big warm heart full of loyalty. He shows love in sweet, subtle ways, a gentle head bump, a soft purr, or simply choosing to settle near you.

Inky (2 years old) is your Donkey:

A younger, endlessly affectionate, and very vocal little mate who absolutely adores Dexter and follows him everywhere. Just like Donkey needs Shrek, Inky needs Dexter in his life. He’s a big snuggle bug (on his terms) who loves belly rubs, head scratches, and diving under the covers with you at bedtime. Inky is super vocal, he’ll tell you exactly what he wants, when he wants it! Expect him to follow you around the house (yes, even to the toilet), give you little headbutts at mealtime if you’re moving too slow, and zoom around with late-night kitten energy before curling up for cuddles.

Together, they’re the perfect balance. Dexter values his independence but has a genuine soft spot for his clingy best friend. Inky brings the energy, chatter, and extra affection, while Dexter brings the calm, cool confidence. They complement each other beautifully and are clearly happiest when they can stay together.

Their Story

These two handsome boys were well loved by their previous family, but with the arrival of a new baby, their owners made the responsible and loving decision to surrender them so they could find a home that can give them the time and attention they deserve.

What They’re Looking For

Inky & Dexter would love a home where they can:

Snuggle on the couch.
Sunbake together by a window (they love getting their “tan” on)
Enjoy gentle playtime and cheeky snuggles on their own terms

They are both indoor cats but enjoy safe outdoor rolls and strolls. Inky can get quite warm in the sun due to his black coat, so plenty of shady spots and windows are ideal. They’d do best in a relatively calm home, they’re friendly and affectionate but would prefer no very young, loud children.

This bonded pair is ready to bring laughter, love, and a whole lot of personality into your life, just like Shrek and Donkey, they prove that sometimes the best friendships are a little grumpy + a lot clingy.

If you have a forever home with room for both a cool, independent “Shrek” and his devoted, talkative “Donkey,” Inky and Dexter would love to meet you!

Dexter & Inky are desexed, microchipped, vaccinated and available for adoption right meow.

Currently located in Murrumbeena with their very own Princess Fiona - one of our amazing foster carers.

Message us to learn more about this wonderful duo. They come as a pair and are hoping to find their happily ever after together. 🧅💚

About Us

Urban Feline Australia is a small, independent cat rescue dedicated to saving surrendered cats from kill shelters and finding them loving, permanent homes.

Founded and run by a passionate animal lover with the support of dedicated friends and volunteers, we specialise in caring for cats that have previously lived in family homes but, for various reasons, can no longer stay with their owners.

Since our inception, we have been fortunate to build a small but dedicated network of volunteer foster carers. These compassionate individuals welcome the surrendered cats into their homes, providing them with love, care, and a safe environment while we search for their perfect forever families.

As a tiny, grassroots rescue with no government funding or large facilities, every rescue is powered by compassion, community support, and a genuine commitment to animal welfare.

All adoption fees and donations go directly toward the essential needs of the cats in our care — including premium food, veterinary treatment, litter, equipment, and ongoing medical support. We rely heavily on the generosity of our foster carers, volunteers, and supporters to continue our work.

Our long-term vision is to expand so we can help even more cats in need. This includes securing a larger dedicated property and, one day, possibly opening a cat café to raise awareness and funds while creating a welcoming space for cat lovers.

How You Can Help

As a small, independent rescue, we depend entirely on the kindness and generosity of our supporters and animal lovers like you. If you would like to support our mission and help us save more lives, please visit the donations page on our website. Every contribution, no matter the size, makes a meaningful difference.

We’d also love to connect with you on social media:

Following and sharing our pages helps us reach more potential adopters and supporters. If we can grow our audience, we’ll be able to generate a small ongoing income to sustain and expand the rescue.

We are always in need of foster carers. If you have a safe, loving temporary home and would like to help us care for a cat on their journey to their forever family, please get in touch. The more foster homes we have, the more cats we can save.
Thank you for taking the time to learn about Urban Feline Australia.

Together, we can make a meaningful difference in the lives of many beautiful cats. 💙
