Adoption information
About Sabrina
Sabrina is a female Domestic Medium Hair cat available for adoption in Marsfield (Sydney, NSW).
Sabrina is a cat who arrives with a toy in her mouth. She'll carry her favourite one through the house and drop it wherever you are, which is her way of starting something.
She's playful enough to chase that toy the length of the hallway and settled enough to spend a long afternoon doing very little at all.
Bright, chatty and full of character, she likes being where things are happening. Working or cooking, she'll be nearby with commentary.
A little about Sabrina:
🐾 Loves carrying her favourite toy from room to room
🐾 Purrs like an engine the moment the patting starts
🐾 Adores a sunbath and a long afternoon nap
🐾 Big fan of bird watching from a good window
🐾 Loves meal time, and she'll happily discuss it with you
Mornings begin with breakfast and a stretch of sun, with a nap to follow.
Through the day she moves between a toy and a window. Birds get watched. Toys get relocated. The window post gets held.
Whichever room you're working in, she'll settle into it, close enough to watch and happy to talk about it.
Her affection is loud and unmistakable. A purr you can hear from across the room, a headbutt delivered with full commitment, and a leg-brush greeting the moment you're in the door.
New people get the same welcome. She'll come in to see who has arrived and take a proper look, especially when there's a treat or a toy involved.
Sabrina has been clear about wanting a home to herself. She shared with an older, more reserved cat, and the two never found a rhythm together, and she's at her best when the house and the attention are hers.
She's an indoor cat and she makes indoor life look easy. A window, a toy and someone to talk to are enough to fill her day, which makes apartment living a genuinely good fit.
A calm, grown-up household is where all that liveliness gets taken at face value.
She'll suit a guardian who has lived with cats before and appreciates a clever, engaged one with real presence in the house.
Give her a toy worth chasing and a warm patch to land in, and you'll find she gives the day everything she has.
Life with Sabrina looks like her trotting down the hallway with a toy in her mouth, dropping it at your feet, then settling into the warmest patch of sun she can find.
Sabrina is that cat. The toy delivered to your feet, the purr you can hear across the room, the headbutt at the end of a long day. She's ready for the home that wants all of it.
FAQ
Why does she need to be the only cat? She lived with an older, quieter cat and the two never settled together. Her vet has checked for anything physical behind it, and she's happiest with the run of the house to herself.
Is she good with new people? Very sociable. She'll come and see who's arrived, and a treat or a toy will have her sold.
Would she be okay in an apartment? Very much. A window, a toy and your company cover everything she's after.
Is there anything to know about her health? She had all her teeth out as a kitten and hasn't looked back, eating her usual kibble and wet food without missing a beat.
Medical notes
Sabrina is a healthy, playful cat with a big appetite for food and fun. As a kitten she had all her teeth removed due to feline chronic gingivostomatitis, a painful gum condition that isn't uncommon in young cats. It's settled well since, and she eats her usual kibble and wet food with no trouble.
Because of that history, her vet has her on a short course of pain relief while she and the other cat in her home work out their differences, so nothing physical is missed as a possible factor. It's a thorough check rather than a response to any concern.
Like a lot of cats, Sabrina can find change unsettling, and her guardians have gabapentin (a short-term anti-anxiety medication) on hand to help her feel calm and supported through the move. Once she's settled in the right home, it's unlikely to be needed. Her complete patient history is on file and ready to share with her new veterinary team when the time comes.

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.
