About Shiyi
Shiyi is a female short-haired cat available for adoption in Reid (Canberra, Australian Capital Territory).
Shiyi is a friendly, curious cat who is full of life. She's confident with new faces, happy to have people around and not easily rattled by visitors. She enjoys human company, with a streak of independence that keeps things interesting.
She's independent enough to enjoy her own company and affectionate enough to stay close to yours.
She suits a calm household, with a guardian who enjoys a cat who wants to be involved.
A little about Shiyi:
🐾 Loves a good head and neck pat
🐾 Adores her favourite toys and an interactive play session
🐾 Big fan of a window seat and a good view of the street
🐾 Lights up at a lap, a snack and her people
🐾 Has a funny habit of sitting like a human
Shiyi's days have a lovely routine of meals, exploring, sunbathing and play. Mornings are for the window, where she basks in the sunshine and watches the world go by.
Later she wanders the room exploring. The evening brings play, with her favourite toys and a guardian on the other end of them.
When Shiyi wants company, she rubs against your legs and stays close. She likes being near while you go about your day, and she'll settle close enough to keep you in sight.
Her favourite kind of attention is a pat on the head and neck. She leans into it, and she makes it clear when she'd like more.
She's a couch potato at heart. Once the play is done, she settles in beside you and stays.
With new people, she's confident and curious. A visitor at the door is more of an invitation than a worry.
Shiyi has lived as the only pet, which has given her all the attention. She's happiest in a calm indoor home where her routine of meals, play and sunbathing can carry on.
A guardian who is experienced with cats will enjoy her curious, lively ways. Someone home for her company, with her favourite toys ready, suits her well.
She has a lovely balance of affectionate and self-assured, and her playful curiosity makes her a companion who adds something to every room she's in.
Picture an evening with Shiyi. A play session with her favourite toy, a lap to claim afterwards, and that human-style sit while she watches you.
Shiyi is ready. The toys, the sunny window, the leg rubs and a lap of her own.

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.
