About Goose
Goose is a male Domestic Short Hair cat available for adoption in Alexandria (Sydney, New South Wales).
Goose is a calm, affectionate companion who forms a deep bond with his people. Gentle, loyal and wonderfully easy to live with, he’s happiest simply being nearby — following you from room to room, settling beside you on the couch and quietly sharing in your day.
He brings a soft, comforting presence into the home and thrives in peaceful environments.
Goose would suit a calm home where someone is home more often than not, with no other pets and access to a secure, enclosed outdoor space, allowing him to safely enjoy fresh air while remaining protected.

Mornings may begin with a soft greeting and breakfast.

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.
