Domestic Short Hair Cats Available for Adoption in Austin, Texas

Zonkey has Yoda eyes - and a Yoda soul! This sweet kitten is an old soul-kind-of-kitten, and when he gazes at you, it's like he is looking deeply into your soul - and loves what he sees. He is very connected to his people, and is content to commune with you and get cheek rubs!

As you may have guessed, Zonkey is a cuddle bug! His love is powered by his purrrrrrrrs. He will chirp for you to pick him up and snuggle him on your shoulder. And he will quietly sit there, even if you walk around with him!

Zonkey is in foster with his brother, Zoo Keeper (192890). He has come nose-to-nose with the resident dog and hasn't been bothered. He prefers his home to be on the quieter side, and would probably be fine with kids who are gentle with him; he's a lover, not a fighter! He prefers cuddle-and-purr to rough-and-tumble.

He has a gorgeous black and white tuxedo - and a silly half "milk mustache!" The sleeves of his tux jacket are a little long so that only the white tips of his toes peep out.

Zonkey is looking for a tranquil home with people to love, and who will dote on him. Contact us today to arrange a meet & greet!

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.
