About Monty rsta012765
Meet Monty, a guy with a beautiful heart brimming with tenderness for the right family. While initially timid and nervous in new environments and with unfamiliar people, Monty's true nature is that of a loving and friendly companion just waiting to emerge.
He dreams of a patient family that can offer the time and understanding needed for him to feel comfortable and secure. With patience and a little TLC, Monty will transform into a cherished member of your family, eager to offer you affection and joy.
From his Foster Home
Monty is an amazing cat, he’s loaded with personality and is very friendly, social, playful and needy. He doesn’t like being left out, if I shut myself off in a room he’ll sit outside for 15+ minutes meowing until I come out.
He’s naughty when it comes to food, there was a short period of food aggression when feeding him (batting my hand when I tried to put the bowl down). He will absolutely try and steal your food if left out or fall into a takeout bag.
He’s extremely social, a big reason I’m not adopting is because he’s so needy and cries whenever he sees the neighbour's outside cats. I really hope he finds a home with other cats he can play with.
Monty loves pats, once warmed up he especially likes big long belly rubs. He also loves pats on his head, long heavy pats with some weight on his head seem lovely.
He really responds to words and your voice. I pretty much say good boy Jackie as a mantra when petting him or getting his attention which works wonders. Also bending down and offering your hand/fingers with a wiggle usually gets him to come up. In Monty’s case if he lowers his head it means he wants pats.
Monty’s also very shy, if he’s giving you a side-eye or looking at you but not moving it's because he’s nervous. Looking away from him and talking to yourself usually gives him the confidence to move. He also is very playful and wants pats but is too shy to come ask for them, patience is key with Monty.
Monty’s favourite spots in the house would be anywhere up against a window that he can observe from. It takes him time to warm up to new things/spots but he eventually settles into the softest and friendliest cat possible. His softness comes at the cost of a lot of cat hair everywhere, but is worth it.

Adoption details
Simply note the ID number and the cats name and visit our hostel at 200 Elder Street in Greensborough. Alternatively you can call the hostel on 8457 6500. We are currently open Mon-Fri 10am-4pm / Sat-Sun 10am-3pm.
You should bring proof of your current address and preferably photo identification such as your driving license. You can only adopt a cat for yourself we do not allow animals to leave with third parties. If you are wishing to adopt a cat as a present for someone, bring them with you as cats are individuals and bond with different people in different ways, the cat you may choose, may not choose your friend! It is also important to allocate time for adoption and we recommend you allow at least a couple of hours to get to know the cat and do the necessary paperwork.
When you visit you will get to meet the cat and as this is a very important decision for both you and the cat you choose we will want to ensure the two of you are compatible and that you understand what will be involved in taking the cat into your home.
We will want to be satisfied that you are prepared to be a responsible pet owner. Responsible pet owners at the most basic level, have their pets registered, micro-chipped and de-sexed unless they are registered breeders. They also understand the issues involved in being able to properly care and take responsibility for the welfare of their pets. Most Councils in Victoria have limits on the numbers of cats you may own without a permit. It is important to check with your Council if you already own the limit and obtain a permit for the extra cat before adoption. We will require to see your permit.
We will answer any questions you have regarding cat care and help you to obtain any support you may need.
