American Shorthair Cats Available for Adoption in Fort Worth, Texas

Meet Phalba, a 2-year-old orange tabby queen with a personality as bright and bold as her beautiful coat.

Phalba is the perfect mix of affectionate and entertaining. She loves being pet and will happily soak up attention, especially if there’s a snack involved. This girl is very food motivated and not shy about it! She’s also talkative, curious, and always interested in what her people are up to, making her a fun and engaging companion.

Phalba gets along well with other cats, though she does like to keep things on her terms. Think confident, a little bossy, and curious. She has no problem fitting into a multi-cat home, as long as everyone respects her role as the star of the show.

As a kitten, Phalba lived outdoors until she was injured and rescued by kind Good Samaritans. Since then, she has made a full recovery and transitioned beautifully into indoor life. She warms up quickly in new environments and carries herself with confidence wherever she goes. She's litter box trained and knows how to use "robot" litter boxes.

Phalba can coexist peacefully with dogs, but she definitely knows how to stand her ground. If a dog gets a little too close for comfort, she’s not afraid to give a warning paw and set clear boundaries. It’s all part of her charm.

She loves toys, enjoys cuddles, and brings the best of both worlds—playful energy and sweet companionship. Phalba is spayed, vaccinated, microchipped, and FIV negative, and she’s ready to find a home that appreciates her big personality and loving nature.

Adoption process: After your phone screening, we can schedule a meet and greet/the start of your foster-to-adopt trial. All adoptions have a 2 week minimum foster-to-adopt trial to make sure that the pet is the right fit for your home, and vice versa. Phalba's adoption fee is $150, which would be due after the foster-to-adopt period. If you are located outside of Texas, we offer to-your-door transportation and have so many happy families as references. We are very transparent about the process so feel free to ask any questions.
