Meet Oleander – The Sweetest Survivor 🌸 Oleander is a little miracle wrapped in fur — a gentle, affectionate kitten with a heart as big as her spirit. The moment you scoop her up she melts into your arms like she’s been waiting her whole life for that hug. Everyone who meets her falls in love instantly — it’s impossible not to.
This brave girl has overcome more than most cats ever will. After surviving a serious accident, Oleander lost her tail and a toe, but never her will to love. Through every challenge, her gentle soul has shone brightly, proving that resilience and sweetness can go hand in hand.
Today, Oleander is thriving — she moves with ease, plays with joy, and seeks out humans for endless cuddle sessions. Her purr is strong, her spirit is bright, and her capacity for love is limitless.
Oleander would flourish in a home filled with warmth, patience, and affection, the same gifts she so generously gives in return. If you’re looking for a tender-hearted companion who will fill your life with love and gratitude, Oleander is ready to meet you.
💖 Special Needs: Please chat with our staff for more details.
Meet Oleander at our Animal Care Centre, 108 Tarleton Road, Spreyton. Open 10:00am – 2:00pm, 7 days a week.

This brave little girl has been through more than most cats ever will.
Oleander is one of thousands of reasons why RSPCA shelters matter... rescues don't end at the operating table, they end when an animal, like Oleander, is well enough to be rehomed, and that happens in our shelters.
Oleander came into our care after surviving significant trauma, likely from being struck by a car. She had a broken spine just above her tail and a broken toe, both of which required amputation.
But despite everything she’s endured, Oleander remains the gentlest, most affectionate soul. Today, she’s well on the road to recovery — moving comfortably, playing happily, and seeking out humans for endless cuddles.
Oleander’s story is just one of many happening in our shelters right now.
This Christmas, your donation helps provide emergency veterinary care, safe shelter, and the time animals need to heal.
💚 Donate to our Xmas Shelter Appeal and help more animals like Oleander find their second chance.

(And yes... Oleander is now looking for her forever home.)

Monet, Degas, Picasso, Pablo & Cezanne 🦙 These funky lads are a bonded group, so it would be ideal to see them stay together. If this isn't possible there must be other alpacas to go to or be homed in at least pairs.
Alpacas are social by nature with fascinating group dynamics, and these boys are no exception. They thrive in company, forming gentle hierarchies that keep the herd happy and balanced.
When it comes to care, they are wonderfully tidy - true to alpaca habits, they use a communal dung pile, making pasture management simple. Their diet is straightforward too: good-quality hay, alpaca pellets, and plenty of grazing. Like all Huacayas, they’ll need regular shearing to keep their fleece healthy and comfortable.
They are currently in foster care in the North of the state and may be viewed by appointment and adopted direct from foster.
