Domestic Short Hair Cats Available for Adoption

Virtue is a curious, quiet, and gentle young cat who’s always ready for a playful moment or a sun‑soaked nap. Affectionately nicknamed “Cricket” for the soft chirps she makes when she wants attention, she has an independent streak, yet still delights in greeting you for morning pets. She’ll occasionally curl up in your lap—or on a conveniently warm laptop—and knead biscuits while you work.
Still growing her confidence, Virtue thrives with patience and reassurance. She would blossom in a nurturing home where she can explore, learn, and play at her own pace, supported by plenty of encouragement and love.
