About Us
Established in 2026, The Diary of Rescue Cats is a Sydney-based independent rescue focused on vulnerable stray cats, neonatal kittens, rehabilitation, and responsible rehoming. Every cat that comes into care is treated as an individual, with a focus on safety, patience, veterinary care, and finding the right long-term home.
As a small home-based rescue, cats are cared for in a foster environment rather than a shelter setting. The rescue prioritises responsible adoption practices, including desexing, microchipping, vaccination, indoor-only homes (or secure cat enclosures), and careful matching between cats and adopters.
Beyond rescue itself, The Diary of Rescue Cats strongly believes in education, compassionate stray cat management, and supporting long-term solutions that reduce the number of vulnerable cats needing rescue in the future.
While passionate about helping animals in need, intake is limited by available foster space, funding, and resources to ensure every cat already in care can continue receiving the support and quality of care they deserve.
We are in the process of working on our ACNC registration.
Every donation, foster home, adoption, and share genuinely helps make this rescue possible.
Help us change lives and make the world a better place.
By supporting grassroot rescues through financial contributions, donating supplies or offering your time and skills, you can help address the dire stray situation in Sydney's surrounds, helping reduce the number of vulnerable strays and abandoned cats in our communities while ensuring they are cared for with compassion, provided safety and comfort.
A message from our founder, Madison
Like many independent rescuers, I never intended to start a rescue, it happened naturally over time...
What began as feeding a stray cat outside my workplace gradually turned into helping vulnerable stray and abandoned cats after learning about local colonies and constantly seeing calls for help on community pages and social media. Once I started helping I saw space to assist with my prior experience as a vet nurse in GP, emergency, specialist, rescue and shelters, and I haven't stopped since. Rescuing can be hard work but it is always rewarding seeing the improvement to the cats lives.
