Domestic Short Hair Cats Available for Adoption

Meet Apple 🍎

Apple is a playful, sweet kitten with the most striking and unique markings. She came to the shelter as a stray and started out a bit shy, but once she settled in, her personality truly blossomed. Watching her grow in confidence and begin to seek out affection has been incredibly rewarding.

Apple has a moderate to high energy level and loves interactive play. Feathers, balls, climbing towers, and anything she can investigate are right up her alley. After a good play session, she is more than happy to curl up and show off her other specialty: professional-level cuddling. She is very snuggly and enjoys being close to her people once she feels comfortable.

She is litter box trained, uses scratching posts like a pro, and is motivated by treats, especially wet food and tube-style goodies. Apple would do best in a home that offers daily playtime, cozy hiding spots, and patient humans who enjoy engaging with her and letting her confidence continue to grow. If you are looking for a kitten who is equal parts playful, sweet, and stunningly pretty, Apple might just be the perfect match.
