Constellation - Domestic Short Hair Cat Available for Adoption in Austin, Texas

Sweet, friendly, patient

Constellation is such a sweet, happy girl! Barely an adult herself, she's raising her own baby plus three orphans. She's a patient, indulgent mama who enjoys lying around and watching her kittens play. She meows instructions to them from the sidelines, like she's coaching their games.

Her kittens currently take most of her energy, but she will play if her foster initiates it. She seems to like cuddles more than playtime - she will sweetly rub her head on her foster's ankle to ask for pets. She especially loves cheek, chin, and head rubs. She tolerates being held, but instead of fighting to be put down, she tries to "melt" out of her foster's arms.

We haven't seen her with kids or other pets, but she does seem to be quite calm, patient, and not particularly territorial, so she might be OK with them.

If you're looking for a sweet and easy companion, 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.
