About Soya
Soya is a male Domestic Short Hair cat available for adoption in Yagoona (South Western Sydney region, New South Wales).
Soya is a social, affectionate cat who loves being part of whatever is happening around him. Curious, playful and full of personality, he’s the kind of cat who follows you from room to room, chatting along the way and making sure he doesn’t miss a thing.
He brings energy, humour and connection into everyday life, while still being easy-going and low-maintenance.

A little about Soya:
🐾 Very affectionate and people-focused
🐾 Chatty, playful and full of personality
🐾 Enjoys being involved in daily life

🐾 Loves food, toys and human interaction
With familiar people, Soya is incredibly affectionate. He follows you around, greets you with enthusiastic headbutts and happily chats back when you talk to him.
He loves to stay close, brushing against your legs, bringing you his favourite toys and even leading you to his food bowl when it’s time to eat.
He’s the kind of cat who naturally becomes part of your routine — always nearby, always involved.
With unfamiliar people, Soya may take a moment to assess the situation. In quieter settings, he can warm up quickly and accept gentle pats, while in busier environments he may choose to observe from a safe spot before joining in.
Once he feels comfortable, his friendly and engaging personality shines through.
Soya has lived with another cat and shows a strong interest in companionship. He enjoys initiating play, grooming and interaction, even if the other cat doesn’t always return the same enthusiasm.
He would likely enjoy living with a well-matched feline friend or could happily be the centre of attention in a home where he gets plenty of interaction.
His daily rhythm is lively and people-focused.
Mornings begin with breakfast, followed by Soya checking in on everything you’re doing — supervising, sniffing and exploring.
During the day he alternates between naps in soft spots and bursts of curiosity, investigating whatever catches his attention.
When you return home, he’s quick to greet you and rejoin the action.
Evenings often end with Soya settling into bed with his humans, ready to sleep nearby after a full day of activity.
Life with Soya is interactive, entertaining and full of personality.
Mornings might begin with cheerful greetings and breakfast reminders.
Afternoons bring naps, play and exploration.

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.
