Mera - American Shorthair and Domestic Short Hair Cat for Adoption in Houston, Texas

With her stunning, perfectly split-face markings, Mera is named after a "chimera". Though she starts off a bit shy, Mera is a total purr-machine who loves to zoom around with toys and curl up for cozy, quiet cuddle sessions once she feels safe.

Because she has a softer personality, Mera is looking for a relatively peaceful home where she can blossom at her own pace. She would thrive with a patient family or older children who understand how to give a shy kitten a little space. A confident cat would help her stay brave, and she would be especially thrilled to be adopted with her foster brother, Volo, or join a household with a friendly, welcoming resident cat or cat-friendly dog.

If you have a heart ready for a gorgeous, purring shadow, Mera is ready to bring her unique magic to your home.
