A little about Mochi:
🐾 Loves meeting new people and says hello with plenty of chatter
🐾 Big fan of his window hammock, where he keeps watch on the world outside
🐾 Lights up at mealtimes, since food is one of his three favourite things
🐾 Adores a game with his favourite toy, and plays hard when he does
Mochi's days have a simple, happy shape. A good breakfast, a stint at the window, a burst of hard play, then a well-earned sleep.
The window is his lookout. He settles in and takes in whatever is happening outside, curious about all of it.
Playtime is where his cheeky side shines. His signature move is rolling onto his back and batting at his toy, belly-up and completely absorbed. It's hard not to smile.
He's highly intelligent and adventurous, a cat who wants to know what's going on and be part of it.
His affection is generous. He loves interacting with the people he knows, and he has a loyal, gentle side to go with all that play.
His guardian sums him up as a love overload.
He's active enough to keep a game going and gentle enough to be easy company.
New people are simply more friends to Mochi. He's curious about everyone, and he'll happily come forward to say hello.
He suits someone who enjoys an energetic, social cat and is happy to make playtime part of the day. An active household is where his fun and his friendliness both have room to land.
He's low-maintenance and easy to live with, with no litter box fuss. A few good toys and a window spot are high on his list.
Picture a weekend morning. Breakfast done, Mochi pads over to his hammock, checks the street, then hops down ready for a game.
Mochi is a beautiful, sociable boy with a lot of fun in him. The chatter, the belly-up games and the hours at the window all come with him.

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.
