PLEASE NOTE - DUE TO COVID-19 RESTRICTIONS WE ARE NO LONGER ACCEPTING ADOPTION APPLICATIONS FROM OUTSIDE OF QUEENSLAND. All cats must be collected by the adopting families, from Toowoomba or Brisbane. Transport cannot be arranged by Off The Chain K9 Rescue Qld due to shortage of staff at this time.

All Off The Chain cats are expected to be INSIDE-ONLY, unless a suitable outdoor enclosure is provided. We do not condone roaming animals. Not only is there a legal obligation to contain your cat to your own property, there is also an ethical obligation when adopting from us, to provide adequate containment. 
For enclosure ideas (some are rental property-friendly!), check out this link: DIY Cat Enclosures

We appreciate your understanding and commitment to responsible ownership.

Please complete the following survey as thoroughly and truthfully as you can. Only applicants who have completed this survey and been approved may meet our animals. If you do not complete your application in full, or do not send your required photos within 12hrs of applying, your application may not be processed.

Once you submit your application an OTC member will endeavour to respond within 48hrs - however if you do not hear back from us please feel free to contact us for an update. Contact is generally via email or text. Please remember we are all volunteers and sometimes we get swamped with rescue work :) you are always welcome to follow up with us however we do ask for patience. Contact details for follow ups:
