Dino - Domestic Short Hair Cat for Adoption in Fairfax, Virginia

Dino is a young white and orange tabby with a loud, cheerful meow that he’s not shy about using to say hello! He may hang back at first when meeting new people but give him a little time and he warms up quickly, letting his curious, playful side shine through as he explores his surroundings. Once Dino decides you’re a friend, he’ll seek out gentle affection and happily soak up soft pets from the people he trusts. He previously lived successfully with another cat and may enjoy having a feline companion again in his new home, given a slow and thoughtful introduction. If you’re looking for a chatty, sweet cat who just needs a bit of patience to blossom, Dino could be your new best buddy.
