Domestic Short Hair Cats Available for Adoption in Bellingham, Washington

Hi, my name is Porky! 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, shy, needs time to adjust
-Can Live with Cats: Lived with cats before, likely OK with slow and structured introduction
-Can Live with Dogs: Unknown history, likely better off with a dog-free home but may tolerate a chill, cat-friendly dog
-Can Live with Kids: Respectful kids aged 6+. Up to counselor's discretion. Would do best in home on the quieter side of things
-Needs Indoor Only Home: Strongly recommended. Some in/out setups may work with counselor's discretion
-History of Litter Box Issues: None seen in shelter.
-Energy Level: Medium/low
-Bite History: No
-Needs Medical Procedure Before Going Home: Yes, a spay and microchip

Porky is a bit on the shy side when it comes to new spaces, but is always ready to make new friends! She is very affectionate and outgoing when she is comfortable. Even when feeling shy, she is super tolerant and would make a great 'first cat'. Due to her reserved nature,we are recommending a quieter home where she can really let her guard down!

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.
