About Wombat

Wombat is a sweet and friendly cat who is still coming to terms with major changes in his life. At around one year old, he’s understandably a bit scared after being left behind when his family was deported. Wombat and his brother, Wallaby, found themselves in a new, unfamiliar situation with a language barrier complicating things. He’s currently in a loving foster home where he’s decompressing, and it may take time and patience for him to learn that life is safe again. He has experience living with children and other cats, which bodes well for his adaptability. Wombat doesn’t need to be adopted together with Wallaby, but they can certainly be considered as a pair. Fully vetted and FeLV/FIV negative, this handsome black Domestic Short Hair is ready to find a forever home where he can thrive. Start your journey together! Apply now.
