Domestic Short Hair Cats Available for Adoption

Meet Mimi!

A gentle eleven-year-old Domestic Short Hair currently in San Diego, CA, whose essence is a quiet glow of comfort wrapped in a beautiful tortie tabby coat. Mimi is a sensitive girl who takes a little time to feel safe, but once she builds trust, her affectionate nature begins to shine in the sweetest, most heartwarming ways! She adores calm evenings, cozy routines, and the simple joy of being gently petted while the day winds down. A devoted fan of Churu treats, she will happily show her playful side for a tasty reward, especially when it is paired with loving attention and a reassuring presence nearby.

Mimi enjoys lounging in sunny spots, stretching out across the bed as warm light dances across her fur, creating a peaceful little scene wherever she rests. She also has a fondness for her stuffed mice, occasionally batting them around in soft, quiet bursts of play that feel like a gentle invitation to share in her world. With her mellow personality, she brings a soothing presence that can make any space feel calmer and more connected.

She thrives in a calm, stable environment where she can build trust at her own pace and feel emotionally secure. Mimi is compatible with patient people and gentle companions who are around during the day, helping her feel connected and comforted. When she becomes bored or lonely, she tends to over-groom, which has led to some hair loss, making it especially important for her to have companionship, enrichment, and reassurance to help her feel at ease.

Mimi is spayed, up to date on vaccinations, and has received attentive dental care. She prefers not to be picked up, but she happily shares affection on her own terms, offering soft companionship and quiet loyalty.

Mimi needs a new loving home filled with patience, warmth, and understanding. Could Mimi be the comforting presence your home has been missing?

If you're interested in providing Mimi with a loving home, please email adopt@joyfulpets.com for more information on adopting her! Please note that Mimi will remain with her current family until a suitable new home is found for her.

Also, Mimi is open to a long-distance adoption, love knows no distance when finding your perfect companion!
