Domestic Short Hair Cats Available for Adoption in Austin, Texas

Sweet, friendly, playful

Olisa is a retired mama who is barely more than a kitten herself. She's a very happy girl who LOVES to play. She gets the zoomies and will race down the hallway at breakneck speed and back again.

She's just as affectionate as she is playful. She loves to be in the same room with you, ideally next to or on you. She has the sweetest way of tapping your chest or head to say "I love you! Please pet me now!" She also likes to talk to you, and she'll let you know when she wants to play or eat.

Olisa met her foster's cat through the door and seemed curious and willing to meet that cat in person. She immediately went up to some visiting children, rubbing their legs and wanting to play.

We think Olisa would be a great fit in almost any home, as long as she isn't left alone for long periods of time. She is such a social butterfly and she needs her people!

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.

For further information or to meet Olisa, please email adopt@austinpetsalive.org.
