Domestic Short Hair Cats Available for Adoption

Gentle, Loving, Gorgeous

When you look at Handy Mandy's intense stare, you might think that she is filled with cattitude. But, that's just not the case! Mandy is the sweetest lady, who just wants love. At 10 years old, it's impossible to know how many kittens Mandy has raised. But after her current babies she is officially retired, and glad of it.

Mandy deserves a quiet retirement where she can lounge on a comfy couch, catch sunbeams through the window and sit on your lap getting scratches on her neck and head. She's filled with purrs and can't wait to share them with you!

Mandy's brown, orange and white coloring and the swirly-whirly pattern of her soft coat are absolutely stunning. The photos barely do her justice. You might call her a classic tabby-style torbie, but there is something in her pattern that has a cool bengal vibe. She's long and lean and looks like she's built for a sprint. Yet she's calm and quiet and just so happy to see people who want to pet her!

See more of Mandy on her foster's Instagram at https://www.instagram.com/cataldo_kitties/ and request a meeting with her 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.
