Adoption information
About Hazel
Hazel is a female Domestic Short Hair available for adoption in Bunyip (West Gippsland, VIC).
Hazel is a calm, clever cat who has figured out exactly what she wants from life, and it usually involves a warm lap. She's independent by nature, spending her days on her own terms, then arriving right on cue for cuddles the moment you sit down.
New faces get a curious once-over from a distance. She likes to take people in before she commits to them, and when she does, it's worth the wait. Her own people get the full treatment: headbutts, loud purrs and a spot right beside you.
A little about Hazel:
🐾 A genuine homebody who's just as happy watching the world from a windowsill as being in it
🐾 Picks her favourite people fast, and once she has, she's all in: headbutts, loud purrs, a spot right beside you
🐾 Still up for the occasional tree climb when the mood strikes
🐾 Melts into a full-body purr the second she's settled on your lap
🐾 Easygoing and low-key, exactly the kind of company that makes a house feel calmer
Hazel's days are unhurried. She potters around inside, finds her favourite warm patch of sun, and steps out for a bit of fresh air when the mood takes her, rather than needing a big yard adventure to feel content.
One little ritual to watch for: the moment you sit down, she's there. A jump onto the lap, a few determined turns to get comfortable, then a steady purr that says she's exactly where she wants to be.
Affection on Hazel's terms looks like this: she comes to you, not the other way around. New people get a thoughtful, watchful welcome, and once she's made her choice, she's warm and generous with her purrs.
Hazel would flourish as the only pet in a calm, settled household, with a cosy indoor base and the option of a secure outdoor spot for the occasional wander.
She's drawn to an easy pace of life, so a home that isn't too busy or chaotic is where she'll feel most at home.
Hazel is in good health, fully vaccinated and desexed, with no medical needs to manage. She's low maintenance, needing only outdoor access, a comfortable indoor base and a guardian happy to let her set the terms of affection.
Picture a quiet afternoon: Hazel dozing in a sunny window, occasionally wandering out to check on the yard or find a tree worth climbing. Come evening, she's on your lap the second you sit down, purring like she's been waiting all day for this moment.
Hazel is ready for a home that lets her be exactly who she is: settled, affectionate by choice, and endlessly herself. She's waiting to make herself comfortable in your lap and in your life.

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.
