Domestic Short Hair Cats Available for Adoption in Bellingham, Washington

Hi, my name is Ziti! 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: Purr-monster, sweet, skittish at times
-Can Live with Cats: Unknown history, likely OK with slow and supervised introductions
-Can Live with Dogs: Unknown history, likely OK with slow and supervised introductions + space to have to herself
-Can Live with Kids: Unknown history, likely OK with respectful kids ~10+ years old, up to counselor's discretion
-Needs Indoor Only Home: Highly recommended but not required, up to counselor's discretion
-History of Litter Box Issues: None seen here in shelter
-Energy Level: Medium
-Bite History: No
-Needs Medical Procedure Before Going Home: Yes, a spay and microchip

Ziti is a funny little gal with the loudest pur in the shelter! She loves to get chin scratches and pets, and is a great listener. She can be a bit skittish when there are loud sounds happening. Luckily, she tends to decompress from stress fairly quickly. Being a stray, we don't know much of her history, but it seems she would make a great new addition to nearly any quiet(ish) home!

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.
