About Mattie
*In foster care in Pyrmont, Sydney*
Mattie is a totally gorgeous calico lady, with the brightest jade-green eyes you've ever seen! She's always curious about what's going on - she loves to investigate open cupboards, and *everything* is sniff-worthy :) At times she's very active and loves a game with a laser pointer or chasing toys, but she also enjoys sitting near a window and watching the world go by.
Mattie is a mix of salty and sweet :-) if you keep to her quirky schedule then she is beautiful company. Although not a lap cat, she loves to be close by most of the time, and once she settles, loves a good head scratch. If you upset the apple cart and don't comply with Mattie's rules she can be a challenging lady, so it's always best to stick to the rules of the manor!
Like all Maggie's pets, Mattie is microchipped, desexed and vaccinated.

MY IDEAL HOME: ... would be with a single person or couple, where I am given enough space to explore my surroundings or climb up high for the best vantage point. I'm not a cuddly lap cat, but I'm always happy to sit near you and keep you company all day long. I can be cautious at first when I meet new people, and will require someone who is willing to put in the time to reassure me while I settle in as I can get nervous and over excited at times. But before you know it I'll be approaching for head rubs, running to the door every night when you arrive home and sleeping contentedly at the bottom of the bed :) I also prefer men, so a home with a cat-dad would be purrfect!
MY ENERGY LEVEL: I love to nap for hours on end - but I'm also an amazing hunter, and love playing chasing games with you, or running away so you'll chase me too. I require a special person who is able to dedicate time every day to actively playing with me - 1 hour of active play each day will keep me a content. I'm a very quirky lady and need a paw-rent who is committed to my schedule. I work well with a routine of hunt, eat, groom, sleep ... repeat! If I want to play then I will let you know. I have a tendency to stalk and pounce on you when I am bored or haven't had enough playtime during the day. When I don't get the attention and playtime I crave and need, it causes me a great deal of distress. I've had a rough go at finding my furever home, and the lack of play is one of the main reasons why I haven't yet found the one for me!
MY SUITABILITY TO CHILDREN: Sadly I won't be a good match for a family with children.
MY SUITABILITY TO CATS AND DOGS: I would be happiest as an only child.

Adoption details
We ask all people looking to adopt to fill in our adoption enquiry form at https://form.jotform.co/92940837256870. Please use this link rather than the 'Enquire' button on the pet's PetRescue profile to streamline your enquiry.
Our foster carer will contact you when we receive your application to arrange a time for you to meet with their foster pet.
We want your adoption through Maggie's to be a good experience so we will occasionally suggest a different cat or dog that may suit your situation better and the needs of the individual pet.
All our pets leave for their new homes on a two week trial. At the end of the trial, we will transfer the microchip into your name and provide you with the pets vet certificates. Once you receive the Certificate of Identification from council, your adoption will be complete.
Please consider, that a Maggie's Pet is a pet for Life, before adopting.
