Adoption information
About Myrtle
Myrtle is a beautiful senior girl with a confident, affectionate nature and so much love to give. She’s friendly, charming, and happiest when she’s close to her people.
She loves showing her affection in sweet ways - chirping, purring, and rubbing up against you for attention. One of her favourite things to do is flop onto her back and show off her big, adorable belly (look, don’t touch!). She also adores kneading soft blankets and settling in for cosy moments.
Myrtle enjoys pats but will let you know if you’ve found the wrong spot or when she’s had enough. Otherwise, she’s incredibly easy-going and low maintenance, preferring a relaxed lifestyle filled with lounging and companionship rather than toys or high-energy play.
She has shown she can be cat-friendly and would likely do well with a calm feline companion, but she would also be just as happy as your one and only.
With her stunning green marbled eyes and gentle presence, Myrtle is a truly special girl. Now in her golden years, she’s looking for a loving home where she can enjoy all the comfort and companionship she deserves.
If you’re looking for a calm, affectionate, low-maintenance companion, Myrtle could be your perfect match.
Medical notes
Overweight
Myrtle is currently overweight and it is recommended that she lose weight. Obesity can significantly reduce an animal's quality of life, predispose them to other diseases as well as shorten their lifespan. A combination of diet and exercise will help achieve a healthy weight, a special diet may be advised by your veterinarian.
Recommended foods include: Royal Canin Lightweight Care or Hills Science Diet Perfect Weight Dry.
Altered gait
Myrtle shows a mild altered gait affecting her hind legs. This presents as a waddle when she walks and an occasional resistance to jumping. Our vet has advised this may be due to a previous injury, being currently overweight, or potentially early signs of underlying osteoarthritis. At this stage, Myrtle is comfortable and no treatment or intervention has been recommended. We have been advised to monitor her and if she begins to show any signs of pain or discomfort, further veterinary assessment may be required.
Dental Surgery Performed
Myrtle had dental disease prior to her arrival at Out of the Woods Rescue. As this condition was negatively impacting Myrtle’s welfare, a dental scale and polish as well as any necessary extractions was performed under general anaesthesia.
Adoption details
All animals adopted through Out of the Woods Rescue are desexed, vaccinated, microchipped, flea/worm treated and health-checked. We aim to match each animal with a home that suits their needs and personality.
Here’s how our adoption process works:
Submit an application – This helps us get to know you, your household and what you're looking for in a pet.
Phone chat – If your application looks like a potential fit, one of our team members will contact you for a casual phone conversation to answer questions and discuss the animal in more detail.
Meet and greet – You’ll meet the animal in their foster home or another agreed location. If everyone agrees it’s a good match, we can proceed to adoption.
Adoption paperwork and payment – Our adoption fees cover desexing, microchipping, vaccination and parasite treatment.
Once adopted, the animal becomes part of your family. We're still here for post-adoption support if you ever need any help.
We’re committed to ethical adoptions and reserve the right to decline applications if we feel the match isn’t in the best interest of the animal.
