Hi there, I’m Poppy—a little grey-and-white rodent with a soft nose and tiny paws that fit perfectly in your cupped hand. I move with a gentle, careful rhythm and I like to pause at the edge of a new scent, as if I’m tasting a world a little bit at a time. My coat blends grey and white in a way that catches the light when I wriggle into a sunny corner. I may be small, but I carry a big sense of wonder and a quiet, steady heart.
In temperament terms, I’m generally well adapted. I’m the kind of companion who settles in without fuss and watches the room with patient curiosity. If the routine stays gentle and predictable, I’m content to take things at my own pace and to let you earn my trust with calm, respectful interaction. I don’t demand the spotlight; I’m happy to receive a soft word and a moment of your time as I explore a new nibble or a new corner.
As for the kind of home that would suit me, I’d thrive with a caretaker who appreciates a small, confident creature and is patient as I learn the lay of the land. A calm, safe space where curiosity is encouraged but never rushed would help me feel at ease. A small, quiet enclosure where I can nibble, forage, and settle in beside you would be ideal. I’m a rodent who values a gentle pace and a steady hand.
If you think you could be the one to share your world with me, I’d love to meet you. Come say hello at RSPCA NSW or submit an application to adopt, and let’s see if we’re a perfect fit. I’m Poppy, and I can’t wait to begin our story together.
