American Shorthair Cats Available for Adoption

Our rescue is based out of Pikesville, Maryland!

We typically do not adopt more than 45 minutes away from Pikesville, so please bear that in mind! Also, if you are viewing this cat on Petfinder, note that ALL of our animals are spayed/neutered despite what it says.

Emma is a friendly, outgoing girl who loves to love. This petite sweetheart loves attention, snuggles, and napping in your lap. Despite her age*, she is active and loves rolling around with a catnip toy. Emma is very easygoing and adaptable, and adjusted quickly to her new foster home and feline roommates. She is mostly quiet, but will let you know if dinner is late. Because she is considered prediabetic, Emma is on a non-prescription wet food diet. She tolerates the resident cats, so with slow introductions, she would likely do well with feline friends.

*We don't know Emma's exact age but she's definitely a senior kitty who is active, in good spirits, and has good bloodwork!

Needs Must Cats will have received full vetting including spay or neuter, FIV/FLV testing, microchip, and treatment for parasites by time of adoption. The adoption fee in the amount below helps us assist more cats and kittens in urgent need. These fees do not even begin to cover our expenses so please consider making an additional donate to support our life-saving efforts!
