Furever After Rescue Inc (NSW) is a small, Sydney based not-for profit cat rescue organisation with a mission:
Provide as many homeless street cats a chance at having a happy furever after.
We aim to do this by:
Working with and educating the community.
Improving the welfare of abandoned street cats through proactive intervention.
Funding medical treatment.
Rehoming.
Political advocacy.
We partner with like-minded individuals, cat rescue volunteers in our communities, and local government departments.
As at July 2024, we have successfully helped over 800 cats find their furever after.
At Furever After Rescue Inc., the heart and soul of our organization lies in the unwavering dedication of a husband-and-wife team. Balancing demanding full-time careers with their passion for rescuing homeless street cats, they have devoted their spare hours to providing love, care, and a second chance to countless felines.
Naomi, the driving force behind the rescue, has been rescuing cats since 2017. She manages the day-to-day operations, handling inquiries, conducting interviews, inspecting homes, and keeping our community engaged through social media. Her tireless efforts extend to building strong relationships with foster carers, corporate partners, and government officials.
Tim, Naomi's dedicated husband, plays an equally vital role. He is always ready to lend a helping hand, transporting cats to vet appointments and foster homes. Together, they try to rally friends and family to support their rescue efforts during special fundraising events.
Their unwavering commitment and selfless dedication have made Furever After Rescue Inc. a beacon of hope for abandoned and neglected cats in our community.

We are incredibly proud and grateful that our work in cat rescue is recognised and valued by the communities we serve.
Our foster carers play a vital role and provide a safe and comfortable home for the cats in our care. From the moment a cat arrives at our rescue, they're welcomed into a loving foster family. Here, they receive the care, comfort, and socialization they need to heal, both physically and emotionally.
Our foster carers provide everything a cat needs, from a warm, clean environment to nutritious food and fresh water. They also assist with any necessary veterinary appointments, treatments, and medications. Most importantly, they offer the love, companionship, and socialization that cats crave to help them recover and find their furever loving homes.
Thank you for being the unsung heroes of our work!
