Domestic Short Hair Cats Available for Adoption in Austin, Texas

Under the Stars is small, but mighty! You will want to stargaze with this lovely lady - her beautiful white fur with black spots, her mask-like face, big bat ears, and the beauty mark on her nose are a sight to behold. She is quite unique, and while she might be the "runt" of the pack, but it is not holding her back in the least. She purrs loudly when eating and cuddling.

Stars was the first of the three to use the box, eat independently, and drink from the water bowl. She is inquisitive, curious, and loves to cuddle with her siblings and humans alike. Her favorite activity is rolling and climbing on her humans and perching on your shoulders while watching TV. She does great with children and dogs, and with a short period of adjustment, she is quite content in a loving home of all varieties.

Stars has tested positive for Feline Leukemia. FeLV is not a type of cancer. It's a virus that causes a weaker immune system and often a shorter life-span. For the most part, 'FeLVies' are just like any other cat. APA! provides FeLV-related treatment and support post-adoption. Stars can only live with other FeLV+ cats, but dogs and other animals are just fine! Any questions? We'd love to talk with you about FeLV care.

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.
