About Mouse STA010393
Mouse is a gorgeous young guy who from birth was raised in a colony setting where human interaction and trust doesn’t exist. Mouse was placed into a quiet, calm and experienced foster home to get to know him and show him humans really can be the good guys.
From his Foster Home-
In the 4.5 months fostering Mouse, his high anxiety and stress levels were very evident and his personality did not show at all in the first 3 months. He avoided interactions and was very shut down when trying to engage with him. When he settled in and found that his foster home had routine and was somewhat quiet and calm, slowly but surely he began to come out of his shell and explore more and use the house as his playground.
First at night time, his activity spiked with playing with toys and entertaining himself around the lounge area, to eventually seeing him lounge around in sunlit areas and sleeping on beds and really embracing the relaxing life. Mouse may take several steps back in a new environment, but in time I’m hopeful his quirky personality will shine through and become the perfect addition to someone’s home.
Mouse does not yet enjoy being touched, but loves to play with balls (the ones with no bells inside) and small soft toys. He sometimes claws at the couch so may enjoy access to a cat tower or scratching post.
He was friendly and tolerant when living with a foster kitten so may enjoy and benefit from the company of a friendly feline.

If you are wishing to adopt a cat as a present for someone, bring them with you as cats are individuals and bond with different people in different ways, the cat you may choose, may not choose your friend!

We will want to be satisfied that you are prepared to be a responsible pet owner. Responsible pet owners at the most basic level, have their pets registered, micro-chipped and de-sexed unless they are registered breeders. They also understand the issues involved in being able to properly care and take responsibility for the welfare of their pets. Most Councils in Victoria have limits on the numbers of cats you may own without a permit. It is important to check with your Council if you already own the limit and obtain a permit for the extra cat before adoption. We will require to see your permit.
We will answer any questions you have regarding cat care and help you to obtain any support you may need.
