What we do...
One at a Time Pet Rescue is dedicated to the care, rehabilitation and re-homing of animals in need. As advocates for animal welfare and responsible pet ownership, we support de-sexing and no kill solutions. We are based in the South Eastern suburbs of Melbourne. Read More
Many of the animals in our care have either been abandoned, rescued or rehomed – often through no fault of their own. There are more than triple the number of animals needing rescuing, fostering, and rehoming, and being kitten season, this includes vulnerable young mother cats and their kittens. But, once they arrive at OAAT they will be warm, cared for, and get bundles of love from their foster families while they wait for their forever homes.

One at a Time (OAAT) rescues, rehabilitates and re-homes hundreds of animals every year. As part of this process, all animals spend time in foster care where their carer gets to know the animal’s temperament, personality, and energy levels. If you feel a pet listed might be a good fit for your lifestyle, family, future plans and finances, please apply. Every application will be considered, and those most suitable will be contacted for a short phone chat, followed by a meet and greet, and then a home check. We want to be sure it’s not just a match – but the perfect match!
