Domestic Short Hair Cats Available for Adoption

Maddox is a handsome male Domestic Shorthair, born in October 2025, who has already shown just how resilient he is. Found as a sick stray, Maddox was lovingly nursed back to health and is now thriving—ready to find a safe, loving indoor-only home to call his own. As a young kitten, Maddox is just beginning to discover the joys of kittenhood. He’s learning to play, chase toys, and enjoy simple pleasures like bird watching from the window. With a proper introduction, Maddox could live happily with other cats, cat-friendly dogs, and children. Sweet, curious, and full of potential, Maddox is looking for a family who will help him continue to grow, explore, and enjoy all the things every kitten deserves. Could you be the one to give Maddox his happily ever after? Maddox is neutered, vaccinated including rabies, microchipped, wormed, and negative for FIV/FelV.

Note: To adopt, you must live within approximately 100 miles of one of our adoption sites (Benld or Springfield IL), and be at least 18 years of age.
