Domestic Short Hair Cats Available for Adoption in Bellingham, Washington

Hi, my name is Rolie Polie Olie! I'm a red pawprint, which means I need an experienced home that meets some specific criteria. Here is what would work best for me in my new home:

-Personality: Affectionate, Silly, Easily-overstimulated
-Can Live with Cats: Unknown history, likely OK with slow and structured introduction
-Can Live with Dogs: Unknown history, likely better off with a dog-free home (sensitive to loud noises)
-Can Live with Kids: Respectful kids teenaged+, cat experience preferred. Up to counselor's discretion
-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/high
-Bite History: No
-Needs Medical Procedure Before Going Home: Yes, a spay and microchip

Rolie Polie Olie is such a sweet little pur-monster (with one of the softest coats around)! She is very affectionate and outgoing when she is comfortable. Things like loud noises, new environments, or unwanted touch can change that comfort and disposition. She tends to show her boundaries with body language first, then follows with the claws, so it is best she goes to a home with some cat experience. Overall she's a real chill girlie, just a bit of a diva at times!

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.
