Looking to adopt a cat in Perth? Every cat on this page is listed by a rescue serving the Perth area, so you can see what is genuinely available locally without checking each rescue's site one by one. Each profile links straight back to the rescue that has them.
New to adopting? Our Western Australia adoption guides cover what adoption costs, council registration and desexing rules that apply right across Western Australia, including Perth.
WA's Cat Act 2011 requires every pet cat to be microchipped, sterilised and registered with the local council by six months of age. Unlike NSW, Victoria and Queensland, desexing a pet cat here is the law, not a choice.
A rescue cat arrives already desexed and microchipped, which leaves council registration to you. Containment rules are local laws that vary by council, so check yours. Paralysis ticks are not established in WA, so fleas and worms are the routine parasites to manage.

No. LocalPetFinder is a discovery platform, not a rescue. We bring listings together in one place so you do not have to check each rescue's website separately. Applications, approvals and adoption decisions are handled entirely by the rescue.
No. LocalPetFinder is free. Adoption fees are set by the rescue and are paid to them directly, not to us.
That is up to the rescue. Some rehome only within their local area, others will consider adopters further afield. The rescue's own listing page states their policy — check it before applying.
No. PetRescue.com.au is one of Australia's largest national adoption sites, listing animals from rescues right across the country. LocalPetFinder brings together rescue cats for Perth and the surrounding area, alongside the local rules on council registration, desexing and microchipping in Western Australia. The two are separate platforms.
LocalPetFinder lists adoptable rescue cats from rescues serving Perth, refreshed regularly. Adopt A Pet (adoptapet.com) is US-based with limited Australian coverage, and PetRescue lists nationally. Every listing here links straight to the rescue that has the animal, so you apply with them directly.
Yes. Under WA's Cat Act 2011 every pet cat must be microchipped, sterilised and registered with the local council by six months of age, unless a vet certifies an exemption. Rescue cats arrive desexed and microchipped, so registration is the step left for you.
