Thumbelina - Domestic Short Hair and Extra Toes Cat Hemingway Polydactyl Cat for Adoption in Gainesville, Virginia

Hi! My foster mom says I am extra special because I am a polydactyl kitten, which means I have extra toes! Look at my big paws—it just means I have more toes to love you with and extra-wide mittens for catching toys. Check out how cool they look in my photos!

My name is Garfield, and I am an 8-week-old orange tabby girl with a wonderfully sweet personality.

I am a little bit observant and like to take my time getting my bearings in a new space. But don't worry, I am incredibly sweet and curious once I feel safe. I am already very good at quietly making myself the center of attention just by being my adorable self! My orange tabby markings just add to my overall charm.

Since I am still a young kitten, my forever family should be prepared for normal kitten life with me. Once I settle in and get comfortable, you can expect plenty of climbing, scratching, zoomies, curiosity, and lots of fun playtime together.

His adoption fee is $170.

Because Garfield is too young to be spayed prior to adoption, her adopter will be required to sign a spay/neuter contract and have her spay at the appropriate age unless otherwise instructed by their veterinarian. The adopter is responsible for scheduling and paying for the procedure.

Once proof of spay is provided to the rescue, $100 of the $170 adoption fee will be returned to the adopter via PayPal or check.

Garfield will receive age-appropriate veterinary care prior to adoption, including vaccines, deworming, and other routine care appropriate for her age.

Paws Deep Animal Rescue is a nonprofit rescue. Adoption fees help cover veterinary care and allow us to continue helping animals in need.

Garfield is ready to trade rescue life for a forever home where she can rule the house, nap like it is her full-time job, and maybe convince someone that dinner should always be served a little early.
