About Maggie
My name is Maggie!
I'm a sweet, gentle girl who can be a bit shy but once I know you I really enjoy the comfort of humans, especially in the evening when I love to cosy up!
I’m a gentle beauty who loves her pats, and I'm never demanding or annoying. I enjoy an active environment and love to play gently. Some of my favourite things to play with are paper and cardboard rolls. If I don’t like something I'm happy to continue on and find something else to do.
When my humans aren’t home I would love the company of another gentle cat so I don’t get lonely. I take a little bit to warm up to new visitors, but when I do I adore their attention. I would be an amazing addition to any family, please come and meet me <3

*** PLEASE NOTE OUR INDOOR CAT POLICY
Most of our cats were either born, or lived for some time, on the street and have only ever known the outside world to be a source of fear and survival of the fittest. So although they've been rehabilitated and are in most ways domesticated by adoption, they will 100% return to fearful behaviour if let outside. Hence we have an indoor only policy (or indoor with access to an enclosure, netted area or leash walking) unless clearly stated in an individual cat's profile. Please consider this before making an enquiry. Thankyou <3
Adoption details
Sunny Days is a registered charity with Tax Deductible Gift Recipient status, and runs a non profit rehabilitation centre for stray and feral cats in Geelong, Vic, focusing on the rescue, rehab and rehoming of ‘true stray’ cats. These are cats who’ve grown up with very little or no experience with humans; cats and kittens who would otherwise be ignored, hit by cars, baited, euthanised or die alone of illness or hunger. In our rehab centre, we see each cat as an individual, requiring it's own individualised rehoming program.
Why strays? The domestic and stray cat breeding problem is a gap in the companion animal welfare system that is under-resourced, under-educated, and not being addressed at a pace that can keep up with the numbers of cats being born. What little current methods of managing the issue there are, are a bandaid to an ever growing and ever concerning community issue that has a negative impact on responsible cat ownership, native wildlife, over-full shelters, shelter and vet performed euthanasia, and perpetuates the giving away of animals online. We feel if cat owners are provided adequate resources, education and advice, and stray cat populations are actively worked on, that the cat breeding problem can be dramatically reduced. We believe animal welfare and government organisations have a responsibility to create and deliver tools to make this happen.
The overall objective of our organisation is to:
- successfully physically and psychologically rehabilitate terrified cats and find them homes which understand their needs and are compassionate to their history,
- remove complete stray cat colonies from the community and ensure they will never breed again or be back on the street again,
- provide an example of the potential to rehab unsocialised cats to other organisations who may not have understood or attempted to achieve that potential before,
- educate the community on how many stray cats are hiding in the dark corners of community trying to survive and that desexing is the only way to begin to lessen these numbers and the resulting suffering,
- provide an opportunity for volunteers to learn animal husbandry and handling skills to a high level which may help them in their future work in animal welfare and as pet owners,
- and provide an opportunity for compassionate people to come together and pool their skills for the betterment of a demographic of animal that is mostly ignored and misunderstood despite us humans being their source and the reason they even exist.
