Manu is a sweet, polite and friendly cat with an awesome miaow and a very soft coat. He is very playful and would do well with someone who has time to spend playing with him. He is not a solitary creature and will appreciate someone being home most of the time.

Manu is not a lap cat but will love your company. He will sleep on the couch or seat to be near you, or, sleep on the bed. He tolerates being picked up, but does not really enjoy it. He really loves being petted and brushed when he is in the mood.

Be warned! When hungry, very irritated or bored he will bite! As such, he is not suitable for children. An example of this can be seen in his morning habits. Whilst he is happy to sleep in with you, he will take a nibble (or bite) to let you know that he is awake and ready to be fed. Along with this comes lots of very cute purring and miaowing.

With enough stimulation, he would be a happy indoor cat and is not an over eater. Manu is very frightened of dogs. Manu would also prefer to be the only cat in the house.

Before applying to meet one of our cats, please ensure that you:
- have the agreement of all members of the household to adopt a Cat,
- have your landlords permission to keep a pet. More information on what to do is available at https://www.consumer.vic.gov.au/housing/renting/applying-for-a-rental-property-or-room/pets-and-renting
- you have all the necessary bits and pieces to welcome your new family member, starting with a cat carrier to bring them home, a litter tray, litter, food and bowls as well as a bed, toys and scratchers, and
- you are ready to welcome them home NOW. We are unable to hold a cat for you if you are not ready to adopt.

IMPORTANT NOTE - COVID19 PRACTICES
Due to the current lockdown in Melbourne we once again need to do things a little differently!
Once you have applied for a cat in our care our fostercarer will contact you by telephone. If at the end of this discussion you would like to process we will then arrange an online meet n greet with the carer and cat.
If you think this cat might be your PURRFECT match we will be utilising our premises at Neko HQ in Preston for the final meet n greet and if agreed adoption as our carers are unable to have guest in their homes. We ask that only one person from the family attend, and that all COVID safe practices are followed to ensure your health and that of our volunteers as well as the general community.
We thank you for your patience throughout this process.
