American Shorthair Cats Available for Adoption in Austin, Texas

Meet sweet, beautiful Estelle.

At about four years old, Estelle finds herself looking for a new beginning through absolutely no fault of her own. She has only ever known the comfort of a home, so shelter life is a big change for this lovely girl. What hasn’t changed is her gentle heart and her deep love for her people.

Estelle is a true cuddle bug and an expert lap cat. She has thick, soft fur that you’ll find yourself absentmindedly petting while she happily makes air biscuits and purrs away. She adores being picked up, will happily settle into your arms, and has that warm, steady presence that makes a house feel like home.

Don’t let her calm, snuggly side fool you — she still has a playful streak. Estelle loves chasing toy mice and showing off her surprisingly athletic moves before returning to her favorite place: your lap.

She would thrive in a home that appreciates a devoted companion who wants to be close, involved, and loved. After spending her whole life in a home, she’s ready to settle back into one where she can once again be someone’s cherished girl.

If you’re looking for a soft, snuggly best friend with a playful sparkle and a heart of gold, Estelle is waiting to meet you.
