Panda

Meet Panda, a 6-year-old tuxedo gentleman (and honorary real-life panda) looking for his forever bamboo grove

This super sweet black-and-white boy is basically a real panda in cat form - gentle, affectionate, a little shy at first, and full of quiet love once he feels safe.

Panda had been part of his family since he was a tiny stray kitten, and he had been deeply loved ever since, but sadly, their newborn baby developed serious allergies to this little gentleman and they were forced to keep the two separate. They tried everything possible to make it work, but with heavy hearts, they decided to find Panda a new home where he can be cherished every day.

Just like his namesake, Panda is a soft, friendly soul who thrives on calm companionship. He loves being close to the people he trusts, enjoys gentle company, and becomes a wonderfully smoochy companion once he knows he is home.

In a new place he may hide for the first few days while he takes everything in (even pandas need a moment to settle into a new bamboo forest), but it doesn’t take long before the real Panda emerges - affectionate, loving, and keen to be near his humans.

He is very food-motivated and especially adores his dry food, though he does have food allergies and needs to stay on a specialized hypoallergenic diet to stay comfortable and healthy. His new family will need to continue managing this carefully.

Panda has always been an only cat and has lived strictly indoors, so a safe indoor-only home is ideal. He is great with children when given his own space and not overwhelmed by too much attention. He has never lived with other cats or dogs, so an only-pet household would suit him best.

Panda is looking for a loving, patient family who will welcome him as one of their own, give him plenty of gentle affection and companionship, and provide a quiet, comfortable indoor environment. Someone who understands his dietary needs and is happy to let this soft, panda-like boy settle in at his own pace will be rewarded with a truly devoted and affectionate companion.

If you have room in your heart (and on your couch) for a gentle, loving tuxedo who just wants to feel safe and close to his people, Panda could be the perfect match.

Panda is approximately 5 years old, has been desexed, microchipped, vaccinated and is located with his amazing foster family in Southbank.

Please get in touch if you think you can offer this sweet boy the forever home he deserves.

He is ready to leave the uncertainty behind and find his own peaceful little grove.

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. 💙
