Domestic Short Hair Cats Available for Adoption in Fairfax, Virginia

Ivory is a handsome, all–white senior gentleman weighing in at 12 pounds, and he’s as sweet as they come. This soft, snowy boy is already turning heads with his good looks, but it’s his gentle personality that really steals the show. Ivory is a certified purr machine who loves to explore his surroundings, taking his time to investigate every corner with curiosity. He loves pets and rubs, but prefers not to be picked up and says, "thank you very much for respecting my boundaries". When he’s not on a little adventure, Ivory is busy rubbing his cheeks on everything (and everyone!). If you’re looking for a loving, easygoing companion to add warmth and comfort to your home, Ivory would be delighted to join your family!
