Domestic Short Hair Cats Available for Adoption in Greenbelt, Maryland

At just 11 weeks old, Amstel is a sweet grey boy with a gentle heart and a playful side. He's friendly, snuggly, and food-motivated, just like his brother—but with a slightly more easygoing, thoughtful vibe.

Amstel loves climbing the cat tower, chasing toy mice, and wrestling with his siblings, but he's also happy to slow things down and curl up for a cozy nap. He may not have quite the same “tough guy” strut as Guinness, but he's right there beside him for every adventure—just with a softer approach.

He gets along well with older cats and doesn't bother them, making him a great fit for a calm or mixed-age household.

Amstel is very easy to handle, so nail trims and medication are simple, and he's well on his way to becoming a loving lap cat.

He'd thrive in any home but would especially love to be adopted with a buddy—ideally his twin brother Guinness, or siblings Stella or Natty Boh.
