About Taco (Puss)
We at Home2Home believe everyone deserves the joy that cat guardianship brings! We love seeing wonderful cats matched with loving adopters, and we don’t want adoption fees to be a barrier to you bringing a loving cat into your heart and home. So if Taco sounds like the cat for you, we ask you to nominate your own adoption fee amount. There is no minimum or maximum amount required, and all adoption fees continue to fund PetRescue’s life-saving programs that support pets and people!
Are you someone who loves a cheeky, independent companion? Well, Taco (affectionately known as Puss) is exactly that kind of cat!
Puss is seeking her new home, and she might just be the ideal companion for someone who loves a balance of affection and independence.
A Cuddly Companion with a Side of Sass
Puss has mastered the art of showing affection—she’ll nuzzle up to you, especially when it’s chilly, seeking warmth and love. Ear scratches are her absolute favourite, though only on her terms (she is a cat, after all). She enjoys her cuddles but also appreciates her alone time, making her the ideal mix of snuggly and self-reliant.
A Foodie at Heart
When it comes to food, Puss is your gal! Her excitement for mealtime is contagious. She’ll greet you with a happy, rumbling purr that’s sure to brighten your day. Her persistence in getting close when the food’s about to be served is charming—and a bit amusing!
Her personality is irresistible
Puss has a knack for making her everyday movements fun to watch. Whether it’s sitting in the most unexpected spots or getting a bit creative with her navigation, her quirky ways are sure to keep you entertained. Her love for lounging on warm laps in winter or basking in the summer sun just adds to her charm.
A Day with Puss
Puss’s day is all about enjoying life’s little pleasures. In the morning, she loves stepping outside to feel the crisp air on her beautiful coat as she explores her surroundings. On colder days, she’s happiest snuggled up in a warm lap or nestled on a cosy surface, soaking up all the comfort she can find. But when the sun is out, she’s in her element, stretching out in the sunshine, letting the warmth wrap around her like a soft embrace. It’s a simple routine, but for Puss, it’s filled with happiness and calm.
Who’s the Right Match for Puss?
Puss would feel most at ease in a calm household where she can have access to the outdoors and be the centre of attention.
Is Puss the Companion You’ve Been Waiting For?
If you’re looking for a cat with personality, charm, and just the right amount of independence, Puss could be your gal. Don’t hesitate to reach out if you’re ready to bring her loving spirit into your life!
Puss is located in Brunswick, Victoria.

Adoption details
When enquiring about a pet listed with Home2Home, your enquiry goes directly to the pet’s guardian—the person who knows them best!
From here, the guardian will be in touch to learn more about you and chat with you about their pet. It’s a great opportunity for you to ask any questions you may have about the pet, including its likes and dislikes, needs, and how it may fit into your lifestyle and family.
If your home and lifestyle match the pet's needs, the next step will be arranging a meet-and-greet to make sure everyone is happy to proceed with a formal adoption.
Following the adoption, change of ownership paperwork will be completed, and proof of vaccination, microchipping, and desexing (if applicable, as indicated on the listing) will be provided.
All pets adopted through Home2Home will require an adoption contract to be signed and an adoption fee to be paid. The pet’s guardian will complete the adoption contract with you and provide a link to PetRescue’s secure payment portal for completing the adoption fee payment.
Home2Home currently operates a ‘pay what you choose’ system for cat adoption fees. This means that adopters will be able to choose an adoption fee amount that is suitable for them. All adoption fees are used to support PetRescue's life-saving programs, including Home2Home.
