Domestic Short Hair Cats Available for Adoption in Austin, Texas

Out-of-the-Box BFF!

Apple Pie's foster says she is the friendliest cat she ever met. When her foster picked her up from the shelter, Apple Pie immediately started purring while she was still inside the carrier. She's much more like a dog than a cat in that she comes running for snuggles the second you walk into the room. She will immediately hop up next to you on the couch and lie against your leg for cuddles and comfort. She is friendly with every person she meets, the minute she meets them - purring and greeting everyone she meets as her best friend!

Apple Pie enjoys scratching posts and toys, especially wand toys and any other form of interactive play with her people. She likes to strike up a conversation, and she gives you the impression that she's actually talking with you. She gets along well with her foster's chihuahuas and has played nicely and affectionately with her foster's 11-year-old neighbor.

Apple Pie would be a great choice for a first-time cat owner because she is immediately so loving and trusting with everyone she meets. She's fine being left alone if you need to work, but if you're around, she wants nothing more than to be snuggled up next to you purring loudly. She's not a "you have your space and I have mine" cat at all. If you're looking for the sweetest, most devoted snugglebug ever, contact us today to arrange a meet-and-greet!

All APA! cats are fully vetted, spayed or neutered, and have updated vaccines and a microchip. Lifetime support is offered by our Cat Behavior Team.
