Adoption information
About Moonface
Moonface is a desexed male domestic short hair cat available for adoption in Northcote (Melbourne, VIC).
Moonface greets the door with a full trilling chorus before you have even got your key in the lock.
Add a set of big, round cheeks and a chest built for chest-naps, and you have a cat who makes an entrance.
He is a young cat with old soul confidence. New places, new people, new furniture arrangements, none of it throws him off his stride.
A little about Moonface:
🐾 Announces himself with trills and chirps at the door
🐾 Turns mealtime into a hopeful, vocal countdown
🐾 Sports big, round, chubby cheeks that are pure charm
🐾 Treats every toy like it deserves an award for effort
🐾 Just as happy sharing the house with a friendly dog
🐾 Low-maintenance short coat, easy to keep neat
His days run on food, play and cuddles, roughly in that order.
Breakfast gets a hopeful chorus of meows, and playtime turns into a full performance, sound effects included.
Evenings are for a good groom and some window-watching before he finds his spot for the night.
Moonface follows for pats, climbs into laps within minutes, and treats new people exactly the same as old friends, trills and all.
Moonface needs to be the only cat in the home, or share it with other FIV positive cats.
Dogs are no problem at all, and he would suit a family with kids, a couple, or someone living alone who wants a devoted shadow.
He has a healthy appetite, so a bit of portion mindfulness keeps him at his best.
He also plays with real enthusiasm, and a couple of dedicated toys keep those excited paws busy instead of your hands.
Picture evenings with Moonface sprawled across the middle of the couch, purring against your side while the television plays to no one in particular.
Moonface is not shy about affection, and he is not subtle about it either.
Whoever he chooses next will not need to guess how he feels. He will let them know, loudly and happily, every single day.
FAQ
Does Moonface need to be the only cat?
Yes, or living alongside other FIV-positive cats. That's how the virus spreads between cats, so it keeps everyone safe and healthy.
Is Moonface good with kids and other pets?
Absolutely. He's confident and social with everyone he meets, kids and friendly dogs included, and loves being right in the middle of the action.
What does FIV positive mean for a guardian?
Mostly that he lives indoors and stays away from cats who aren't also FIV positive. Otherwise he lives a full, playful life, and his complete patient history is ready to share with your vet.
Is Moonface a lot of work?
Not at all. He's easygoing, settles into new spaces with real confidence, and a little extra playtime plus mindful feeding keep him thriving.
Medical notes
Moonface is in good general health. He is FIV positive, which means he needs to live indoors and share a home only with other FIV positive cats, or be the only cat in the house.
FIV positive cats can live full, contented lives for years, and Moonface's complete patient history is ready to hand over to your vet.

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.
