Domestic Short Hair Cats Available for Adoption in Columbia, Missouri

Fern is a sweet, albeit timid, gal! Don't let her scruffy appearance fool you-she is a total sweetheart. She truly wants to be your best friend, and just like any good friendship, it simply takes a little time to get to know her.
While Fern hasn't shown much interest in typical toys, she absolutely cannot resist catnip! Much like her love for catnip, Fern cannot get enough pets and scratches. She may not be a typical "lap cat" just yet, but she would happily lie down and be petted for hours... if her humans had the time. One of her absolute favorite discoveries is the window; she loves to spend her afternoons watching the squirrels and birds outside.
