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

Meet Plum! This adorable 9-pound cutie came to our shelter when her family could no longer care for her. She spent some time in a foster home, and this is what they had to say about her:

"She is a very easy cat, a tree near a sunny window, wet food 2X a day and some dry to nibble on throughout the day and she's content. She adores human company and will happily settle herself on your lap while you read. Oddly, before she settles, she needs to chew on the edge of my phone or tablet for 15 seconds or so. I have no idea why, but she does. Since she has been happy for 5-6 weeks in one large, sunny bedroom, she can definitely be an apartment cat. She has decompressed greatly since I've had her, but being at the shelter might make for a temporary regression. She is not a playful cat at all, but she is so loving. I hope she finds a loving home quickly."

Plum is a great kitty who can’t wait to join your family, so come and adopt her today!
