About Grant - Located in Preston
Meet Grant, a feisty DSH ginger, looking for a friend and playmate. Grant is smoochy, purry, loves to play and will follow you around. Whether it be on your bed or sitting in your lap, he will be your constant friend. He loves to be petted and brushed- but only on his terms! He does not tolerate being picked up and he will bite. He likes to chase things like balls of wool, flies and will sometimes attack your ankles.When the weather is cold he likes to snuggle under blankets with you and may just appear in the middle of the night. Grant is very respectful of your morning sleep-ins and will wait till you are ready to get up and feed him.
Grant is a cat-lovers cat and is only suitable for those who've had a cat before. Inexperienced foster carers have had difficulty with his wildish nature. While generally quite affectionate, he does on occasion become overstimulated and bitey. Grant is not suitable for children or dogs. He would be more suited to a large apartment/ medium house and although he loves exploring outside, he could be an inside cat only. If an inside cat, Grant requires access to fresh grass everyday (it's his favourite food).
As he has only been recently desexed, he still has those "amourous urges" which he humorously puts to good use on a blanket that feels just right (blanket provided).
Over time, with love and attention, Grant will settle into your house, home and heart.
Before applying to meet one of our cats, please ensure that you:
- have the agreement of all members of the household to adopt a Cat,
- have your landlords permission to keep a pet. More information on what to do is available at https://www.consumer.vic.gov.au/housing/renting/applying-for-a-rental-property-or-room/pets-and-renting
- you have all the necessary bits and pieces to welcome your new family member, starting with a cat carrier to bring them home, a litter tray, litter, food and bowls as well as a bed, toys and scratchers, and
- you are ready to welcome them home NOW. We are unable to hold a cat for you if you are not ready to adopt.
IMPORTANT NOTE - COVID19 PRACTICES
Due to the current lock down in Melbourne we once again need to do things a little differently!
Once you have applied for a cat in our care our foster carer will contact you by telephone. If at the end of this discussion you would like to proceed, we will then arrange an online meet n greet with the carer and cat.
If you think this cat might be your PURRFECT match we will be utilising our premises at Neko HQ in Preston for the final meet n greet and if agreed adoption as our carers are unable to have guest in their homes. We ask that only one person from the family attend, and that all COVID safe practices are followed to ensure your health and that of our volunteers as well as the general community.
We thank you for your patience throughout this process.

Maneki Neko Cat Rescue would like to help ensure you and your new companion/s have a long and happy life together. Please be advised that if you should find that you are not a purrfect match, or if you need to rehome your new pet at any stage of its life, Maneki Neko Cat Rescue will take the cat back into care and find a new home.
Maneki Neko Cat Rescue provides a 7 day health warranty on all adoptions. Although all our cats and kittens are health checked prior to adoption, sometimes the stress of a new environment can upset their immune system.
