American Shorthair Cats Available for Adoption

Meet, Arvo! Cat or weighted blanket? The jury is still out. This orange man is not only cute but has a deliciously outstanding personality. He is obsessed with cuddling and will headbutt you like it's his full-time job. Arvo does not understand (or abide by) the idea of personal space; your lap belongs to him, your love belongs to him, your blankets belong to him!

Arvo does have chronic rhinitis, so he can be a little snotty and loud....imagine cute little piggy noises. If that does not bother you, you will quickly realize it simply adds to his charm.

Arvo is a bit of a chonky king right now, but with some playtime he may slim down (no promises though, our man does love his mealtimes and cuddles over cardio).

BONUS: Arvo is cat, dog, and toddler friendly. His main goal in life, you ask? Be loved, be held, repeat. If you're looking for a clingy, hilarious, love bug, Arvo is your guy.
