American Shorthair Cats Available for Adoption in Belmont, North Carolina

Laila is a sweet and playful kitten who has truly blossomed. Although she was a little shy at first, she has come out of her shell and now explores the house with growing confidence, happily running around and enjoying her surroundings. Once you pick her up, she immediately starts purring, soaking up all the love and attention.

Laila currently lives with five resident cats and three foster kittens. While she gets along well with everyone—including our two dogs—I believe she would thrive in a home with fewer cats where she can receive plenty of one-on-one attention.

She came from a large outdoor TNR project, but she was far too fragile and friendly to be returned. Now safe indoors, Laila is ready to find a forever family of her own.

Laila is sure to bring warmth, love, and joy to any home lucky enough to adopt her.

She is approximately 5 months, but smaller. She is microchipped and vaccinated. FELV/FIV negative
