Axel - available 9/6 - Domestic Short Hair Cat for Adoption in Elmsford, New York

Birthdate: 11/17/25

Breed: One of a kind

AXEL makes loving him easy. If he was named for a difficult figure skating jump that the pros pull off with grace and ease...we get it. Small in stature, he has an effervescent personality that bubble-wraps you in his joyful abandon. This "soon to be" young adult gives us eternal kitten vibes that we don't think he'll ever outgrow. He is quite immediately affectionate and seeks interaction, purring up a storm. Curling and swirling he pretty much prat-falls at your feet until you hold him and pet him. A really steller marbled tabby on white with a cocoa-kissed nose, we are transfixed by his eyes that are gold and warm, but green at the center. While we doubt he was named for the axle of a car, when we're with him we can't help thinking, little man - somebody's gonna love you til the wheels fall off!
