Domestic Short Hair Cats Available for Adoption in Austin, Texas

Reserved, Inquisitive, Tender


Please welcome Tropical Smoothie, an adorable recent mom ready for her forever home!

Tropical Smoothie can be cautious but she is still extremely sweet. She's initially shy but she also has a keen curiosity about people and really wants to know what you are doing at all times. It's clear that Tropical Smoothie wants to be loved. She just needs a little time to get there. She doesn't like being picked up but she does love getting pets. She especially enjoys head pets and she will bop your hand with her head to encourage you to keep going. It is very sweet!

Having spent the last few weeks raising her kittens, Tropical Smoothie is fairly low energy. Whether this is a temporary state or not is something you'll get to discover alongside this delightful girl. She has shown an interest in playing in short bursts. She is generally calm and likes being around people. When you call her or when you enter a room, Tropical Smoothie will greet you with a lovely-sounding meow. It's like she's saying hello.

Tropical Smoothie does not have any known interactions with other cats, canines, or children. Her interest in people, however, hints that she might do well with kids who understand how and when to give her space and how and when to shower her with pets. Her ideal home is gentle and patient and one where she can get heaps of affection.
