Domestic Short Hair Cats Available for Adoption in Cincinnati, Ohio

Gretchen is the kind of cat who plays it cool... until she decides you’re hers.

She takes a minute to warm up, but once she does, she is all in—quietly devoted, incredibly affectionate, and happiest tucked right next to you (or directly on your lap, where she believes she belongs). She’s low-key, low-drama, and perfectly content just existing in your space like a tiny, purring shadow.

Other cats? Hard pass. Gretchen knows what she wants, and what she wants is her own person.

If you’re looking for a calm, loving companion who bonds deeply and doesn’t need chaos to be happy, Gretchen is that cat.

Gretchen is FIV positive, which simply means she’ll need to live indoors and receive routine veterinary care like any other cat. She also has some arthritis in her left hock, but it doesn’t slow her down from enjoying a cozy, relaxed lifestyle.
