About Possum
A gorgeous domestic medium hair kitty with striking calico markings and a thoughtful, gentle nature. She earned her name because, as a tiny kitten, her wide eyes looked like a ring tailed possum peering out from the darkness. While Possum may not be the first kitten to rush up and introduce herself, she has a quiet charm that draws people in and rewards those who take the time to get to know her.
Like many sensitive kittens, Possum took a little while to decide that humans were worth trusting. Early on, she preferred to observe from a safe distance, carefully weighing up whether attention was something she wanted. Over time, her confidence has blossomed, and she now happily seeks out human affection, leaning into gentle rubs and scratches with obvious enjoyment. She has also become comfortable being picked up and cuddled, although she appreciates having some say in the matter and prefers affection that feels like an invitation rather than a restraint.
She is wonderfully affectionate once she feels secure, but she is still a kitten who likes a little independence and the freedom to explore the world on her own terms. For someone looking for a sweet, intelligent companion with a gentle personality and a rewarding journey of trust, Possum is ready to bring her unique blend of affection, curiosity and quiet confidence into a loving home.
Possum will be ok if adopted on her own but will prefer to be adopted with one of her siblings. Her favourite is Bilby.
Possum comes microchipped, desexed, vaccinated and will be ready for meet n greets at PetStock Macquarie Centre from 11 November 2026.
