Quinten

Quinten is a male short-haired cat available for adoption in Madora Bay (Mandurah, Western Australia).

Quinten is a cat who loves a routine and the people who share it. Affectionate, playful and gently independent, he forms strong, loyal bonds with his favourite person.

He's independent enough to enjoy his own company and affectionate enough to seek out yours. When he does, the cuddles come on the couch, on the bed, wherever you are.

A little about Quinten:
🐾 Loves rubbing against your legs and asking for more cuddles
🐾 Adores cat grass and rolls in it while you pat him
🐾 Lights up at mealtimes, a big fan of his dinner
🐾 Loves keeping you posted on what he's doing with his day
🐾 Rolls onto his back for chin scratches, his favourite spot

Quinten's days have a comfortable shape. Mornings are for lounging in his bed, with a burst of playful energy when the mood takes him.

Midday brings a meal and a few pats, then it's back to his bed to relax. On sunny afternoons he heads outside to soak up the rays and reset.

His affection is specific and deliberate. A rub against your leg as you pass. A lap claimed once you sit down. A spot beside you, chosen on purpose.

He likes to come to you, and when he does, it means something. He'll let you know he's there, too, with a running commentary on whatever he's up to.

With new people, Quinten settles into a quiet spot of his choosing and watches from there. Give him space and a little quiet encouragement and you'll find he comes out in his own time.

A calm household suits him well. Car trips aren't his favourite, so a quiet, unhurried journey home will be appreciated. Loud noises and sudden movements send him to his safe space, so a door left open means it's always close by.

He's highly intelligent, loyal and low-maintenance, and he likes days that run on a familiar rhythm. He suits a guardian who reads a cat's cues fluently and enjoys one who is both loving and independent, whether young or elderly.

Picture a slow weekend. Quinten stretched out in a patch of sun, then padding in to claim his place beside you.

Quinten is ready. The cat grass, the chin scratches, the lap once you're settled and a guardian to share his days.
