This sweet and gentle boy has been in foster care the majority of his young life. When he came to us, at just 4 months old, Joey’s behaviour was heartbreaking to say the least. 💔 At the approach of a human he would shut down, shrink into himself, and try to bury his face. Not once did he hiss or show aggression, he would just cringe and freeze. 😢

But with patience, reassurance, gentle pats, and treats (Joey lives up to his name as he loves food!) Joey has overcome this fears and grown into a whole new, and very handsome young man! Well... really he's just a big kitten. Joey has grown to be very quirky and playful, and loves head rubs. As he walks up to greet his carer he lowers his head (into the head-butt position) ready for pats. Joey has loved and bonded with all of his foster siblings, regularly playing, grooming, and cuddling with them. Sadly however, due to the length of Joey’s healing journey, he has watched many of his beloved friends go on to their new homes. Joey is ready and waiting to find his forever family and home too.

- People describe me as: Initially shy, but once you have my trust I am very sweet
- How am I with dogs? Have not met any yet - I should be ok with a gentle/relaxed dog
- How am I with cats? Good! Where my confidence with people may have been lacking, I am quite confident and playful with cats and kittens.
- How am I with kids? Have not met any yet, but I do tend to startle at loud noises and abrupt movements.
- My purrfect home is: Any home where I will be loved

Joey’s adoption fee is $75 which includes desexing, microchipping, parasite prevention, and initial F3 vaccinations.
