Domestic Short Hair Cats Available for Adoption in Columbia, Maryland

Meet Oakley (51092), a 9 month old female cat! Oakley is a nice girl who loves her head rubs. She can be a bit independent at times, but when she wants attention, she'll let you know by rubbing her head on you. Oakley does not like being restrained and would not do well in a home with children under 8. She previously lived in a home with another cat and got along well with them.
