Can’t find a suitable companion? We upload animals available for adoption weekly, so it’s best to keep an eye on our website and social media for the latest updates.

If you’ve come across a cat or kitten in the community, you can follow the steps on our Stray Cats section to help keep them safe.

Once you are confident you need our help, then please fill in our online Stray Enquiry Form, so we can see if we have a suitable home for them in our network.

Once submitted, our team of volunteers will be in touch with advice on how we can best assist you.

If you’ve found a stray dog you can fill in the same form for advice or contact your local veterinarian or council for assistance and to check for a microchip.

Foster Carers and Volunteers are an essential part of our organisation!

We’re always on the lookout for reliable, animal-loving people who have the time and enthusiasm to help us with our rescue work.

You are able to register to be a foster carer, or volunteer through this link.

Maggie’s Rescue is a rehoming organisation for cats and dogs. If you need to surrender, or have found an injured animal that isn’t a cat or dog, contact your local veterinarian or council for advice.

For injured native wildlife, contact WIRES Rescue Line on 1300 094 737.

As Maggie’s is not a shelter or pound environment, we don’t have access to an onsite veterinarian. If your animal is in need of medical attention, please call your local veterinarian for advice.

If you need financial support for veterinary bills or desexing, you can speak to your local veterinarian or council for advice on financial assistance or any subsidies available.

Whilst we are only able to assist with veterinary work for animals in our care, you can contact our team for advice on organisations able to offer financial assistance.
