I'm quiet, shy, and a bit of a ninja when it comes to moving around without anyone noticing. I like to keep things low-key, but don't let my reserved nature fool you. Once I feel safe, I've got a playful and cheeky side that sneaks out, especially under the moonlight.\r\nI'm still learning about this big world, and I take my time trusting humans. I don't like being approached or picked up-honestly, that's just a bit too much for me. I prefer to do things on my own terms, and if you're patient and respectful, I'll come to you. My foster mum has had me for four months now, and we've worked out a nice rhythm. I love when she scratches my head and gives me gentle pats on my shoulders, neck, and belly, but only when I've shown her that I'm ready. Trust is everything to me.\r\n \r\nDuring the day, you won't see much of me-I'm a champion napper and enjoy snoozing in my cozy cube, especially if it's in a warm spot with a view of the outside world. But when the sun sets, I come alive! I love chasing rattly balls, batting at dangly toys, and showing off my zoomies. Sometimes I'll even hop onto the bed or couch to visit my foster human. I might let you pat me if I'm feeling brave, but other times, I'll just sit nearby and enjoy your company from a safe distance.\r\n \r\nI've got a curious, independent streak, but I also enjoy companionship-on my terms, of course. I've shared my space with a chill, older dog who respected my boundaries, and we got along just fine. I've even had a feline buddy who taught me a lot about interacting with humans. I liked following them around and learning from their confidence, even if I thought they were a bit too clingy with humans (to each their own). But boundaries are important to me-I need my own litter box and my own belongings. Otherwise... well, let's just say your indoor plants might not stay safe.\r\nWhen it comes to food, I'm not overly food-motivated. I eat when I'm hungry, usually late at night after my evening adventures. But I do have a soft spot for fish-salmon, mackerel, and tuna are my absolute favourites. I also love Greenies as a treat, and toys that double as food dispensers are a great way to keep me entertained.\r\n \r\nIf you're looking for a quiet, independent companion who thrives in a calm home, I might just be your perfect match. I'd love a space where I can have my own room, time to myself, and maybe even a feline or canine friend to hang out with (as long as they're chill and respect my need for space). I'll need a patient human who understands that I'm not overly affectionate but will reward your patience with trust, playfulness, and the occasional cheeky moment.\r\n \r\nAre you ready to meet this shy explorer with a curious heart?\r\n<br>\r\nNEEDS: Indoors only, Ok with Calm Dog, Ok with Cats, Cat Companion Required, No Children, Quiet Calm Home\r\n \r\n","Age":{"IsApproximate":true,"Months":7,"Weeks":0,"Years":1,"AgeGroup":null},"Breed":{"Primary":{"Name":"Domestic Short Hair","Uri":"\/api\/v2\/animal\/species\/breed\/33","Id":33},"PrimarySpecies":{"Uri":"\/api\/v2\/animal\/species\/22","Id":22},"Secondary":null,"SecondarySpecies":null,"IsCrossBreed":true},"BreederRegistrationNumber":null,"ContactLocation":{"Name":"Geelong Animal Welfare Society","Uri":"\/api\/v2\/location\/physicallocation\/53","Id":53},"Features":{"CoatLength":null,"PrimaryColour":"Tabby","SecondaryColour":null,"CoatType":null,"EarType":null,"TailType":null,"EyeColour":null},"Identification":{"HasMicrochip":true,"PrimaryMicrochipNumber":"956000018840328","PrimaryMicrochipBrand":{"Name":"Trovan - Central Animal Registry","Id":11},"PrimaryMicrochipImplantDateUtc":"2024-09-23T14:00:00Z","SecondaryMicrochipNumber":null,"SecondaryMicrochipBrand":null,"SecondaryMicrochipImplantDateUtc":null,"OtherIdentification":null,"AcoNumber":"2035057-157","TagColour":null,"CollarType":null,"Barcode":null,"ShelterTag":null,"CustomTag":null,"CollarColour":null,"OldDatabaseNumber":null},"Intake":{"DateUtc":"2024-09-19T05:12:00Z","Region":{"Name":"Geelong Animal Welfare Society","Uri":"\/api\/v2\/location\/physicallocation\/53","Id":53},"Source":{"Name":"Council","Uri":"\/api\/v2\/animal\/source\/13","Id":13},"Circumstance":{"Name":"Stray (No ID)","Uri":"\/api\/v2\/animal\/circumstance\/7","Id":7},"ExtendedDetails":{"Uri":"\/api\/v2\/animal\/sourcehistory\/73329","Id":73329},"Received":null,"SurrenderReason":null,"BehaviourCondition":null,"EmergencyBoardingReason":null},"LastUpdatedUtc":"2025-04-22T04:57:59.33Z","Location":{"PhysicalLocation":{"Name":"Geelong Animal Welfare Society","Uri":"\/api\/v2\/location\/physicallocation\/53","Id":53},"Kennel":{"Name":"24","Uri":"\/api\/v2\/shelter\/kennel\/44742","Id":44742},"Shelter":{"Name":"Cat Adoptions","Uri":"\/api\/v2\/shelter\/143","Id":143},"MostRecentPhysicalLocation":{"Name":"Geelong Animal Welfare Society","Uri":"\/api\/v2\/location\/physicallocation\/53","Id":53}},"Medical":{"IsDeclawed":false,"IsVaccinated":null,"SpayedNeutered":"Yes","DateSpayedNeuteredUtc":"2024-09-23T14:00:00Z","PreferredFood":null,"PreviousMedicalDetails":null},"Owner":{"Name":"Fiona Cormack","Uri":"\/api\/v2\/person\/57872","Id":57872,"PrimaryEmail":"fiona_cormack@hotmail.com"},"Pattern":null,"Sex":{"Name":"Male","Uri":"\/api\/v2\/animal\/gender\/1","Id":1},"Size":null,"Status":{"DateUtc":"2025-01-29T03:50:00Z","Name":"Available For Adoption","Uri":"\/api\/v2\/animal\/status\/3","Id":3},"SubStatus":null,"SubStatuses":[],"Type":{"Name":"Cat","Uri":"\/api\/v2\/animal\/species\/type\/2","Id":2},"AvailableForAdoptionDateUtc":"1900-01-01T00:00:00Z","DateOfWeighingUtc":"2025-04-21T14:00:00Z","CurrentRabiesVaccination":null,"Litters":null,"RabiesTag":null,"Origin":null,"DangerousAnimalInformation":null,"LostFoundAddress":{"Country":{"Name":"Australia","Uri":"\/api\/v2\/location\/country\/3","Id":3},"Jurisdiction":{"Name":"City Of Greater Geelong","Uri":"\/api\/v2\/jurisdiction\/132","Id":132},"State":{"Abbreviation":"VIC","Name":"Victoria","Uri":"\/api\/v2\/location\/state\/56","Id":56},"StreetType":{"Name":"Parade","Uri":"\/api\/v2\/location\/streetType\/32","Id":32},"Suburb":{"Name":"Corio","Uri":"\/api\/v2\/location\/suburb\/91877","Id":91877},"DeliveryType":null,"PrintableString":"Canadian Parade, Caught in trap by MOP, ranger collected., Corio, VIC, 3214, Australia","PrintableStreetAddressString":"Canadian Parade, Corio, VIC, 3214, Australia","MetaData":[],"CrossStreet":"","DirectionOne":"","DirectionTwo":"","ExtraAddressDetails":"Caught in trap by MOP, ranger collected.","Postcode":"3214","PostcodeSuffix":null,"StreetName":"Canadian","StreetNumber":"","UnitNumber":"","DeliveryNumber":"","IsApiValidated":false,"Line1":"Canadian Parade, Caught in trap by MOP, ranger collected.","Line2":null,"Line3":null,"Line4":null,"Id":376563},"DateFoundUtc":"2024-09-18T14:00:00Z","DateLostUtc":null,"IsDeleted":false,"Icons":[{"Name":"No Children","Id":4},{"Name":"OK with Cats","Id":9},{"Name":"OK with Dogs","Id":10},{"Name":"Inside pet only","Id":58}],"Weight":"4.12 kg","MetaData":[],"RelatedAnimals":null,"Behaviour":null,"Media":null,"AlternativePlacement":null,"DistinguishingFeatures":"","DueDateOutUtc":"2024-09-26T14:00:00Z","Id":64287}
