Domestic Short Hair Cats Available for Adoption in Bellingham, Washington

Hi, my name is Lotta! I'm a PURPLE pawprint, which means I will fit well into a home that meets some specific criteria. Here is what would work best for me in my new home:

-Personality: Affectionate, easily overstimulated, active
-Can Live with Cats: Unknown history, likely OK with slow and structured introductions
-Can Live with Dogs: No thank you!
-Can Live with Kids: Likely OK with respectful kids aged 10+. Up to counselor's discretion
-Needs Indoor Only Home: Not required but highly recommended
-History of Litter Box Issues: No
-Energy Level: Medium to high
-Bite History: No
-Needs Medical Procedure Before Going Home: Yes, a spay

Lotta is a funny girl and loving mother. She takes great care of her littles but is ready to find her new family, with or without the kittens (nursing is tiring work!). She was brought to the shelter as a stray so her history is unknown. She has shown to be a super affectionate cat, who would prefer that affection be shared on her terms. She gets overstimulated often and even does it to herself. That said, she's pretty good about communicating those feelings with her voice rather than the sharp parts.

If you are interested in adopting, please fill out an application on our website (www.whatcomhumane.org/adopt) or in person at our facility. We recommend calling into the shelter after your application has been submitted so our front desk can give you next steps on our adoption process.
