Mateo - Domestic Short Hair Cat for Adoption in Charleston, South Carolina

Meet Matteo! This handsome black cat is as sweet as they come. He’s a quiet, gentle boy who enjoys the simple things in life — a cozy spot to relax, a little love, and the comfort of a peaceful home.

Matteo isn’t looking for a life full of excitement or chaos. He’d much rather settle into a calm environment where he can feel safe, comfortable, and loved. With his sweet nature and quiet personality, he would make a wonderful companion for someone looking for a more laid-back kitty.

All Matteo needs is a peaceful place to call home and someone willing to give him the love he deserves.

A website can tell part of a pet’s story, but not all of it. You’ll notice that some pets may be listed as “unknown” or may not receive a “yes” for things like house training, compatibility with children, other cats, or dogs. In many cases, this doesn’t mean the answer is “no”, it means we can’t guarantee the answer with complete certainty. Because every home, family, and pet dynamic is unique, behaviors in a shelter environment don’t always predict behaviors in a home.

That’s why adoption is about more than a website profile. Our team is here to share what we’ve observed, answer your questions, learn about your lifestyle, and help connect you with a pet that’s the right fit for your family.
