Matthew — A gentle spirit in search of a calm home

This week, RSPCA South Australia warmly presents Matthew (AID 192243) as our Pet of the Week—a sweet and tender-hearted cat patiently waiting for the perfect forever home. For a limited time, his adoption fee is reduced to just $45.

About Matthew

Matthew is a thoughtful and shy feline who blossoms in quiet environments. Here's what makes him special:

  • Playful yet peaceful: He enjoys toys and cherishes relaxing in a sunny spot on his favourite window shelf afterward.
  • Slow to trust, quick to love: Though initially shy, Matthew opens up with patience—especially when treats are involved.
  • Longing for tranquility: He'd thrive in a calm, child-free household where his confidence can grow gently.
  • Ideal setup: A warm window perch, plenty of patience, and loving space to flourish.

What Matthew Needs

His dream home would look like this:

  • A quiet and peaceful environment where he can adjust at his own pace.
  • Patient, understanding pawrents who can help him come out of his shell.
  • A sunlit spot where he can rest after playtime and feel safe.
