Their Journey to SPCA: Finley came into our care in June 2026 via the TNRM program. After being humanely trapped for sterilization and microchipping, his affectionate temperament prompted the SPCA to select him for rehoming. He is now seeking a loving family who can provide the safe indoor life he deserves.

Personality: Finley is resilient and sweet. While he can be initially shy and cautious in new environments, he has a deeply affectionate side that shines through with a little patience and gentle reassurance. He is a gentle soul who just needs a warm welcome.

Daily Life: Finley is looking for a home where he can enjoy a stable routine. He will benefit from an owner who understands he needs time to adjust to the sights and sounds of a domestic home at his own pace.

Progress Since Rescue: Since his rescue, Finley has built confidence and shown he is ready to transition from a community cat into a cherished family pet.

Educational Corner - The Importance of Cat-Proof Meshing: It is a common myth that cats always land on their feet; in reality, high-rise falls can lead to devastating injuries or death. Installing secure mesh or grilles on all windows and gates is the most effective way to protect your cat, ensuring they do not "take the fall" for a lack of home safety. Please refer to this article for meshing recommendations: https://spca.org.sg/resources/dont-let-them-take-the-fall-for-you-cats-do-not-have-nine-lives/

Looking for a Perfect Family: Finley will reward a loving family with unwavering loyalty. He is a wonderful cat looking for a family that sees his heart of gold.
