Domestic Short Hair Cats Available for Adoption

Magellan is a big, lovable orange tabby with the most adorable round face, perfect tabby stripes, and wide, expressive eyes that will melt your heart.
He plays hard and loves every second of it—so much so that he’ll sometimes fall asleep right in the middle of playtime! And if he doesn’t doze off mid-adventure, you can bet he’ll claim the very best sleeping spot in the house. Whether he’s snoozing solo or cuddled up with his siblings, Magellan knows how to relax in style.
This curious boy loves chasing his own tail and exploring every tunnel or box he can find. He’s always ready for an adventure, especially if it involves a new hiding place. While he can be a little thoughtful at first, bring out a Churu treat and he’ll happily come out of his shell.
If you’re looking for a playful explorer with a sweet side and a talent for the cutest nap attacks, Magellan is your guy. He is not clingy and prefers nap time alone or cuddled with a sibling.

Currently in a foster home in Chattanooga, TN, and available for transport to a number of locations within the continental United States.
