Domestic Short Hair Cats Available for Adoption in Austin, Texas

Meet Laffy Taffy!

Laffy Taffy may be the runt of the litter, but don't tell him that! This handsome brown and white tabby, complete with an adorable dark spot at the base of his nose, has a big personality packed into a small body. He was often the first in his litter to hit important kitten milestones, from opening his eyes to learning how to eat wet and dry food and use the scratching post like a pro.

This clever little guy has a determined streak that makes him fun to watch. Small but mighty? Absolutely. As a tiny kitten, he was famous for defending his favorite spot at mealtime against siblings much bigger than he was, and he still isn't afraid to challenge his brothers and sisters to a playful wrestling match. Laffy Taffy may be small, but he has plenty of confidence when it comes to getting what he wants!

Laffy Taffy can be cautious in new places and may take a little time to explore unfamiliar spaces. Once he sees his littermates having fun, he starts to warm up and join the action. He would do well in a home that gives him a little patience, plenty of encouragement, and maybe a friendly kitten buddy to help him feel brave.

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.
