Domestic Short Hair Cats Available for Adoption

Arlo | 5 yrs | Friendly Lap Cat

Arlo chose indoor life all on his own — he walked into his foster's back door to the house one cold January day and never looked back. From the start it was clear he'd been a house cat before. Perfect litter box habits and instant comfort indoors. He was also a purrfect patient while visiting the vet's office for his shots.

He's affectionate, chatty when you've been gone, and happiest curled beside you or in your lap. Arlo loves attention and companionship and will gladly follow you around to help supervise your day.

He would thrive as a spoiled only pet. He likes having his own space to call home.

About Arlo:
• ~5 years old
• Excellent litter box manners
• Loves crunchy food & water fountains
• Friendly, social, and people-oriented
• Black & white with two side dots and a black tail with white tip

After likely being abandoned, Arlo made it clear he's ready for a permanent home and someone to stick close to forever.

If you want a true companion cat, Arlo is your guy.

All of the Sweet Paws animals are loved a great deal by their rescuers, fosters, and the volunteers who've cared for them along the way. Your kitten will be up to date on appropriate vaccinations by adoption day, but please keep in mind that kittens require multiple routine vet visits throughout the course of their first year. Sweet Paws is staffed by volunteers, and processing applications is time intensive; therefore, we ask that you only submit an application if you are fully committed to adopting.
