Domestic Short Hair Cats Available for Adoption

Polo is a striking black boy who holds a beautiful little secret—when the light hits him just right, you can see faint tabby markings shimmering through his coat. It’s like he’s wearing a hidden masterpiece.
This big, handsome guy loves to play and will happily chase anything that moves. Wand toys, string toys—you name it—Polo is usually the first to catch it! He’s quick, clever, and always aware of everything happening around him.
When playtime winds down, Polo is all about cuddle time. He especially loves snuggling with his sister, Amelia, the two of them curled up together looking like one adorable, fluffy black blob. He also enjoys exploring new spaces, keeping a close eye on mealtime preparations, and never turns down a Churu treat.
If you’re looking for a smart, playful boy with a sleek coat, a sweet snuggly side, and just a hint of hidden stripes, Polo is ready to shine in his forever home.

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