About Dagwood SUA015616
Handsome young Dagwood is ready to charm his way into your heart — and, given a little time, take over your home too!
Dagwood is an affectionate and inquisitive fellow who loves being part of the action. He enjoys exploring, spending time with his people and, perhaps most importantly, he loves his food! Mealtimes are definitely a highlight of his day.
While Dagwood has plenty of confidence and curiosity, he’s not a big fan of changes to his environment. Moving into a new home will be a big adjustment for him, so he’ll need a patient family who can give him the time, space and reassurance he needs to settle in at his own pace.
Once he’s had a chance to get his bearings, Dagwood’s affectionate personality will begin to shine through. Before long, he’ll be exploring every corner, making himself comfortable and wondering why you ever thought it was your house in the first place.
If you have a calm home, a little patience and a well-stocked pantry, Dagwood could be the handsome new family member you’ve been waiting for

Most Councils in Victoria have limits on the numbers of cats you may own without a permit. It is important to check with your Council if you already own the limit and obtain a permit for the extra cat before adoption. We will require to see your permit.
