Domestic Short Hair Cats Available for Adoption

Mento is an incredibly sweet, gentle girl who’s been on quite a journey. She came into the rescue alone at around 2 1/2 months old, and at first she was very timid — quiet, cautious and happiest hiding in a safe spot. With time, patience and love, she’s truly begun to blossom. Once Mento feels secure, her playful side shines. She loves toys, food (a lot!) and especially the company of another cat. She feels most confident and comfortable with a feline friend and would thrive in a home with a resident cat to help her continue building confidence.

She can be a little skittish around people and may dart when approached, but she’s also curious and often follows you from a safe distance. If you have a toy she'll quickly follow. She’s very gentle and handles care like baths with calm acceptance and also enjoys pets and cuddles. Mento would make the perfect, loving companion, if given the chance--could it be with you?
