Hey Melbourne,
I’m looking for someone to adopt Wedgie, a little 1 year old kitty I’ve been fostering since mid-March. He arrived at the shelter as a stray in February, and his start in life was pretty rough. He came to mine wedged between walls and furniture, hiding from everyone, even spending time in the wardrobe and washing machine in the dark.
Since then, he’s really come out of his shell! He LOVES hunting, interactive toys, and rolling around for belly rubs. He has the funniest personality, full of cute antics, and he’s a little mischievous in the best way. He loves fleece and soft surfaces to make biscuits and will get a bit grumpy if interrupted. He also follows his human to the toilet to make sure they’re safe.
Wedgie is fully dewormed and defleaed (routine treatments), and he thrives on gentle, consistent care. He would suit:
- A quiet couple, a single person, or a retired human looking for therapeutic, playful company
- Someone happy to let him entertain himself sometimes, but also enjoy interactive play
- A home where he can have soft spots to snuggle and make biscuits without interruptions
I’ll be returning him to the Lost Dogs Home (North Melbourne) for desexing on 1 April, but I’d love for him to find his forever home before he has to go back – he’d struggle in the shelter environment.
I’ve fostered many kitties before and have helped them find loving homes through Reddit; they’re all thriving and I continue to help care for them when needed.
Feel free to also check out his journey on my Instagram @ MeowbourneFoster
If you think you could give Wedgie the loving, playful home he deserves, please reach out.
P.s. I also provide free cat-sitting service to kitties I have previously fostered 🙂

Bump. What an absolutely glorious gentleman. I hope he gets adopted by a loving new family soon 🧡
What a cutie. Would love him to find somebody suitable.
I have a territorial 8 year old. But I love Wedgie so much and hope he finds a home as beautiful as he is
You’re a wonderful human
I wish honestly 🙁
Is he still available?
He’s very cute but you shouldn’t allow the cat to go in the dryer because people have accidentally killed their cat in the dryer, when they sneak in there. My cat used to try and get into the dryer but he’s stopped now because we never let him, same with the dishwasher.
awww orange boy cats have such huge personalities
I love him, I want him but I cant 🙁 i hope he finds his home soon!
He looks gorgeous but you didn’t say if he was house trained.
Do you find that the cats use the scratching post with the fluffy soft fabric? I am planning to buy one but thought the rope or carpet style fabric would work better
What a cute boi
He looks the spitting image of my boy – from the same shelter, too!
