Every animal on this page needs a home, usually because an owner left the island, a litter arrived unplanned, or a shelter pulled it off the street. Good rehoming is slow on purpose: a conversation, a meeting, sometimes a home check, and an honest account of the animal’s temperament and history.

Adoption fees, where a shelter charges one, cover vaccination, sterilisation and worming that has already been done — not the animal. A responsible rehomer will show you what the fee paid for and will still refuse the match if it is wrong for the animal.

Expect to be asked hard questions in return: whether your landlord permits animals, whether your gate and garden are secure, who cares for the animal when you travel, and what happens to it if you leave Indonesia. Being asked is a good sign.
