Say hi to Astro and let your love story take flight.

A seven-month-old black-and-white heart-stealer who’s been patiently waiting at the shelter for his next big adventure: a loving forever home.

Astro isn’t just any cat — he’s a galaxy-class snuggler, a cuddle-powered co-pilot and your future best friend rolled into one soft, purring package.

Whether you’re working from home, curled up with a book, or binge-watching your favourite show, Astro will happily be right there, turning every moment into a cosy cuddle mission.

His purr is steady like a tiny space shuttle engine, and his favourite destination?

Your lap.

But Astro’s sweetness doesn’t end with humans — he’s a social superstar with other cats, too.

If you already have a feline friend at home, Astro will happily orbit alongside them, making your home a galaxy of fur and friendship.

Astro is affectionate, adaptable and endlessly endearing — he’s the kind of companion who makes every day feel a little brighter, a little warmer and a whole lot more lovable.

After months of waiting, Astro’s ready to trade his shelter launchpad for a permanent home base.

Could it be yours?
