Adoption information
About Tommy
Tommy is a male cat available for adoption in Sutherland (Sydney, New South Wales).
Tommy is a smart, cheeky cat with a big heart and a mind of his own. He makes sure you know when he wants attention, and he's just as happy recharging in his own company.
He's friendly with everyone he meets, familiar faces and new ones alike.
He suits a calm household and a guardian who enjoys an independent cat with a soft side.
A little about Tommy:
🐾 Loves scratches and belly rubs, on his own schedule
🐾 Big fan of sunbaking, and the warmer the spot the better
🐾 Lights up when there's something new to explore outdoors
🐾 Adores a game, with a clever mind and a playful streak
🐾 Says hello with a leg rub and a cheerful meow
Tommy is an early riser. Breakfast comes first, then he heads out to find a sunny patch of path and settle in for the morning.
In the middle of the day he wanders back inside for a proper sleep. By evening he strolls in again, right on cue for dinner.
He's a highly intelligent cat, even if he does the occasional silly thing just to keep you smiling.
His affection is specific and deliberate. A rub against your legs. A meow that says hello. A flop onto his back right in front of you, which means one thing: scratch my belly.
When he's very sleepy, he walks up onto your lap, tucks himself into a neat croissant and looks up at you. It's a moment he chooses, and that's what makes it special.
He's independent enough to enjoy his own space and affectionate enough to come looking for you.
New people are no trouble to Tommy. He's warm with strangers too, especially outdoors, where he happily says hello.
Tommy will be happiest as the only pet in the home. It's where his loyalty, and all those belly-rub requests, have room to land.
He loves sunshine and exploring, so a home with safe outdoor access, like a secure garden or cat enclosure, gives his adventurous side somewhere to go.
He's tidy and easy to live with, with no litter box fuss.
Picture a slow weekend. Tommy stretches out on a toasty bit of concrete, then trots inside to wind past your legs and remind you dinner is coming.
Tommy is that cat. The hello at your feet, the sun-warmed belly flop and the sleepy croissant on your lap are all part of an ordinary day 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.
