Hammer Head 19 - Domestic Short Hair Cat for Adoption in Austin, Texas

Please meet Hammer Head, a totally sweet kitten with a name like a superhero and the heart of a total softie!

The first thing you'll notice are those paws, dipped in black and white like she stepped into a puddle of the cutest paint imaginable. The second thing you'll notice is that she is hungry. Hammer Head is a champion eater who greets every meal like it's the best news she's ever heard. But, as much as she loves her food, she loves you more! This girl is affection in kitten form. She'll play with you, then cuddle up against you, then decide the two of you should just stay like that forever, purring away with her warm little body tucked in close.

She's playful in the best way, with a springy, bouncy energy that makes you wonder if there's a little bunny hiding in there somewhere. She'll hop and pounce and chase to her heart's content, but she's also perfectly happy to power down and go full couch potato. Hammer Head is the iPad kid of her litter, the one always up for a lazy TikTok scroll or a cozy night of TV. And once she's truly out? Prepare yourself. This cutie sleeps in the strangest positions you've ever seen, and every single one of them is adorable!

Hammer Head is currently in foster care with her brothers Horn Shark (APA! ID# 195021) and Hognose Shark (APA! ID# 195020) and she'd love to keep the crew together. She'd be thrilled to go home with one (or both!) of her siblings, though she's got plenty of love to spare no matter what her new family looks like.


She's a snuggly, easygoing, snack-loving little bundle who's ready to hop right into your lap and your life. Could you be her person? Contact us about Hammer Head today!


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.
