About Colin
We at Home2Home believe everyone deserves the joy that cat guardianship brings! We love seeing wonderful cats matched with loving adopters, and we don’t want adoption fees to be a barrier to you bringing a loving cat into your heart and home. So if Colin sounds like the cat for you, we ask you to nominate your own adoption fee amount. There is no minimum or maximum amount required, and all adoption fees continue to fund PetRescue’s life-saving programs that support pets and people!
Colin is the epitome of charm, boasting a delightful blend of cheekiness and cuddliness that's sure to steal your heart. With his playful antics and affectionate nature, he's the purr-fect addition to any loving home.

Colin's Favorites:
Window Perch: Where he can watch the world go by with feline curiosity.
Laser Toy: Guaranteed to keep him entertained for hours on end.
Food Enthusiast: Colin is quite the epicurean and will happily regale you with tales of his culinary adventures.
Quirks and Habits:
While Colin may initially be a tad shy around new faces, it won't take long for him to warm up to you. He has a knack for finding himself in amusing predicaments, like getting stuck atop the fence (before realising how to get down), showcasing his unique charm. And oh, don't be surprised if he is eager for a cuddle session after a brief period of acquainting himself with you.
A Day in the Life of Colin:
Colin's daily routine revolves around simple pleasures: a hearty breakfast, outdoor adventures in the enclosed backyard, and leisurely pursuits like birdwatching and bug-chasing. Evenings are reserved for cozying up with his favorite humans, relishing in the warmth of companionship.
Affectionate Gestures:
When Colin feels particularly fond of you, expect lots of leg rubs and purrs, along with gentle paw massages (yes, he's a "kneady boy"). While he may not be a fan of belly rubs, he'll gladly snuggle up beside you on the couch for some quality bonding time.
What Makes Colin Happy:
Nothing brings Colin more joy than engaging play sessions, cuddle sessions, and the simple pleasure of your company. His contentment is infectious, and his independent spirit is as endearing as it is charming.
Sweet Moments with Colin:
One of Colin's most adorable traits is his insistence on doing things his own way, radiating that quintessential cat-like independence. Yet, when he leans into those cuddles with shameless affection, it's impossible not to smile in sheer delight.
Colin thrives in a serene environment where he can be the centre of attention. An ideal home for him would be one without other pets and human siblings, allowing him to soak up all the love and affection for himself. With no competition for cuddles or playtime, Colin can truly shine as a cherished companion.
If you're seeking a devoted feline friend to share your home with, Colin is ready to fill your life with joy and companionship.
Colin is located in Brunswick, VIC, 3056

Adoption details
When enquiring about a pet listed with Home2Home, your enquiry goes directly to the pet’s owner - the person who knows them best!
It’s a great opportunity to ask any questions you may have about the pet, including its likes and dislikes, needs, and how it may fit into your lifestyle and family.
From here, the owner will be in touch with you to chat a bit more about their pet, and if they feel your home is the best fit, they will arrange a ‘meet and greet’ for you all to get to know each other.
Should this prove successful, arrangements will be made for the pet to move straight from its current home into yours upon payment of the adoption fee.
Home2Home currently operates a pay-what-you-can system for cat adoption fees. This means that adopters will be able to choose the adoption fee amount that is most suitable for their situation. The adoption fee is paid directly to PetRescue (via a secure payment link), and assists us to continue to run and develop programs to assist pet owners, just like Home2Home.
Following adoption - change of ownership paperwork will be completed, and proof of vaccination, microchipping and desexing (if applicable, as indicated on listing) will be provided.
