American Shorthair Cats Available for Adoption

*** Located in California. Will be transported to Oregon in under 2-weeks when application is approved and virtual meeting has been completed! ***

Meet Misty!

This sweet itty bitty white and tabby was part of our TNR program over at @bobbiesstreetcats but after her surgery we realized she’s WAAAY too sweet to put back on the streets so we found her a foster. She just had a dental too and had a few teeth pulled but she’s now doing great and is ready to find her furrever home! This is what her foster says about her :

“She is very outgoing! She opened up so fast. She hasn’t played with my cats yet but she doesn’t mind sleeping with them on the same bed. She loves to cuddle and get head rubs. She has so much love to give last night she slept next to me on my pillow.“

We approximate her age to be around 1-2ish. She’s fully vetted and ready to go home.

Adoption Fee:$250

Medical: fixed, FIV/FELV negative, dental done, FVRCP, rabies

Please Note: We do not allow same-day adoptions.

We want adopters to thoughtfully consider the lifelong commitment of a cat and as a volunteer-run rescue, we cannot always process paperwork immediately after meet-and-greets. Most adoptions are finalized within 24-hours.

To help speed up the process, please email a walkthrough video of your home to adoptions@mariospaw.org after scheduling your meet-and-greet. Thank you for your understanding!
