Domestic Short Hair Cats Available for Adoption

Calm, Cuddly, Curious

Meet Catcifer!

Despite his name, this sweet boy is a complete angel! In the mornings he loves to cuddle and follow you around meowing as you get some work done, then for the rest of the day he'll chill in his favorite spot with occasional cuddle check-ins with you. His foster says he's a polite and well-mannered boy - he doesn't disrupt someone when they're busy, and saves his lap time for when he has someone's full attention. A purrfect work-from-home coworker!

When work time is done for the day, he unleashes all the cuddles he saved up during the day, flopping over for belly rubs, making biscuits, and napping next to his favorite human. Catcifer is generally a very adaptable cat, although unfamiliar noises may make him a little nervous at first. He would love a calmer home where he can snuggle to his heart's content.

Catcifer is on a special diet for his optimum urinary health; in the past, he had some blockages, and a urinary/wet food diet is best for him. His food can be found in local shops as well as online. Questions? Just ask!

Whoever brings this sweetheart home is a lucky one. Is Catcifer the loving companion you've been waiting for? Email us today to find out!

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.
