About Quince
Quince is a female Domestic Short Hair cat available for adoption in Surry Hills (Sydney, NSW).
Quince is a confident, affectionate cat who enjoys being part of everyday life. Social and people-focused, she quickly makes herself at home — happily greeting visitors, following her guardian from room to room and settling nearby to keep you company.
She thrives in homes where companionship and gentle routines are part of the day.
A little about Quince:
🐾 Friendly, confident and people-oriented
🐾 Enjoys affection and close companionship
🐾 Comfortable with respectful animal companions
🐾 Would enjoy safe outdoor access
🐾 Playful, social and easy-going
Quince has a wonderfully relaxed nature and is easy to be around. After an enthusiastic breakfast, she often spends the morning following the sun through the house, stretching out in warm spots and enjoying peaceful naps.
If you work from home, Quince will happily provide quiet supervision. She may rub along the edge of your laptop, settle beside the keyboard, or simply relax nearby while you move through your day.
Quince truly enjoys human company. She greets familiar faces and visitors alike with confident headbutts and a polite request for ear scratches.
Unlike many cats, she is comfortable being picked up and enjoys playful interactions with her people.
At night she often chooses a cosy sleeping spot close to her guardian — sometimes near your head or within reach so she can lean into a gentle pat.
Quince would flourish in a home where she can enjoy safe outdoor access, allowing her to explore, bask in the sunshine and then return indoors to relax.
She has previously lived successfully with both a dog and another cat and generally adjusts well to respectful animal companions after a short settling period.
However, she would also be perfectly content as the solo star of the household.
Her favourite things are delightfully simple: warm sunshine, a good ear scratch and a satisfying meal.
Once she understands the rhythm of her home, Quince settles beautifully and becomes a steady, affectionate part of daily life.
Life with Quince often feels warm and companionable.
Mornings might begin with breakfast and a sunny nap spot.
Afternoons may include quiet work supervision or playful moments with toys.
Evenings often end with Quince curled close by, enjoying calm companionship before bedtime.
For someone who appreciates a friendly, confident cat who enjoys people and brings warmth to everyday routines, Quince could become a wonderful companion.

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.
