Adoption information
About Roxy
Roxy is a female Domestic Short Hair available for adoption in Pascoe Vale (Melbourne, Victoria).
Roxy is a playful, cheeky young cat with a gentle, cuddly heart, and she loves nothing more than being right in the middle of family life.
She's happiest wherever her people are: chasing toys down the hallway one minute, curled up on a lap for pats the next.
She shares her home with a young child and adores them, which says a lot about her easy, tolerant nature.
A little about Roxy:
🐾 Chases tiny fluffy balls down the hallway like a puppy
🐾 Greets her favourite people with generous head boops
🐾 Flops onto the floor for a belly tickle and a play
🐾 A devoted desk companion on work-from-home days, snoozing in her fluffy bed
🐾 Loves lounging in a sunny spot to keep you company
Roxy's day starts at 7am with breakfast from her automatic feeder, then a snoop around the garden. She never strays far.
After that, she simply joins in with whatever the family is doing. Home days mean following you from room to room, a play, then a nap close by.
On work-from-home days she sets up in her fluffy bed right on the desk. At bedtime, she curls up beside her small human.
Roxy is a true cuddle bug. Head boops, lap time and belly tickles are all part of her daily routine with the people she loves.
When her small human has been unwell, she's stayed close all day on the couch and slept on their bed at night.
With new people she's curious. A little encouragement, a tease toy or a treat, and she'll come over to say hello with a friendly rub.
Roxy would love a family home, and she'd be a wonderful match for households with young children.
She'll be happiest as the only cat. She loves sunshine and garden time, so a secure outdoor space to enjoy with you would make her day.
Roxy loves her food, so she does best with portioned meals from an automatic feeder, and all that play keeps her busy between meals.
Like any playful young cat, she can get carried away with toes and hands during a game. She takes herself off for a break when she's had enough, and wand toys keep the fun at a friendly distance.
Picture a Saturday morning: Roxy tearing down the hallway after a fluffy ball, the kids laughing as she skids around the corner.
Then the quiet part: Roxy flopped across your lap, eyes closed, head-booping your hand for more.
Roxy is a family cat through and through, and she's ready to become the heart of a new home.

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.
