About Tabitha
Tabitha is a desexed female cat available for adoption in Diamond Creek (Yarra Ranges, VIC).
Tabitha comes around in her own time, and when she does, she's a genuinely devoted lap cat. She has a clear sense of routine and communicates it with confidence.
She shares a settled, years-long bond with her housemate, Chara: they groom each other, curl up together in cooler weather, and occasionally chase each other down the hallway for fun.
Tabitha suits a home where life has a bit of shape to it, and she's happiest where the pace is steady and her routines are respected.
A little about Tabitha:
🐾 A genuinely devoted lap cat once she's comfortable with you

🐾 Puts herself to bed on cue each night, right on schedule
🐾 Comfortable alongside a dog, having lived with one for years
🐾 Shares a settled bond with her housemate, Chara
Tabitha runs on routine and thrives in it. Breakfast, a morning survey of the household, an afternoon nap, couch time after dinner, each part of the day has its place.
Once she's settled into her rhythm with you, she becomes a deeply consistent, affectionate presence, the kind you can set your clock by.
Tabitha comes around in her own time, and that groundedness is exactly what makes her so easy to live with.
Once she's comfortable with you, she's a proper lap cat who chooses you consistently, and the payoff is genuinely real, worth every bit of the wait.
Tabitha will do well in a home where life has a bit of shape to it. She's happiest where the pace is steady and her routines are respected, and she has lived comfortably alongside a dog in the past.
Tabitha and Chara are a package, they're only looking for a home that can take them both, a home with room for two very different, very complementary personalities.
Give Tabitha the space to come around in her own time, and a proper, devoted lap cat is exactly what you'll find on the other side.
Picture mornings with Tabitha making her breakfast announcement, right on schedule, then settling in for couch time once the day winds down.

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.
