My name is Moxie because I’m only a tiny kitten but I’m brave. I was found at 8 weeks of age and I spent the first few weeks of my life cold, lonely and starving and fending for myself, when my foster carer’s two dogs cornered me in the backyard and bailed me up under the garden furniture.

It was scary at first, but with 3 square meals a day and a soft, warm dressing gown to snuggle into, I’m learning that life isn’t so bad at all. I am already litter-trained and otherwise no trouble at all. I’m very quiet and still, because I had to be living in the wild, but I love nothing better than settling down on your lap while you watch television and falling asleep. I still get a little bit worried when big people walk into the room, because everyone is SOOO big, but I learn quickly.

I am looking for a gentle person or family who understands that I need a little patience and coaxing to get used to this new life. But I will happily purr away on your lap for hours if you’d like to stroke my lovely caramel-tortoiseshell tabby fur or scratch me under the chin.

I have been fully vet-checked, wormed and vaccinated, am remarkably healthy given my rough start in life, and very calm to handle. I will have my second vaccinations at 12 weeks of age.

If you’d like to prove to me that this world is actually full of warmth and love, please call 0431 645 200 and enquire about me.
