Domestic Short Hair Cats Available for Adoption in Ephrata, Washington

9 weeks old | Male | Domestic Shorthair

Ryder is serving mysterious black cat energy with a hidden marshmallow center.

Born safely indoors and lovingly raised by his mama, Ryder got a wonderful start in life—but he still prefers to keep his emotional cards close to his tiny fuzzy chest.

At first glance, Ryder might seem like the independent brother. The observer. The one quietly judging your choices from across the room with those impossibly soulful golden eyes.

But spend a little time with him, and you’ll discover the truth:

Ryder is a secret soft boy.

He’s the kind of kitten who may make you earn his trust—but once you’re in? You are in. Ryder forms deep bonds and absolutely gives the “I chose you, therefore you belong to me now” kind of loyalty that black cat lovers know and adore.

He enjoys playtime with his brothers, cozy lounging spots, and keeping a close eye on whatever his people are doing. He’s affectionate in that extra-special way that feels earned—which somehow makes it even sweeter.

If you love the kind of companion who starts as intriguing mystery and turns into devoted sidekick, Ryder may be your perfect match.

Equal parts handsome, thoughtful, and quietly clingy once bonded? Honestly… dangerous combination.

Adoption fee is $125 which includes the microchip, dewormer and first vaccine. We also hold a separate $75 deposit until the kitten is fixed by new family before they are 6 months old.
