Domestic Short Hair Cats Available for Adoption in Jarrettsville, Maryland

2.5-month-old Eenie may seem a little shy at first, but once she settles in, she is as sweet as can be. She enjoys coming over for pets and affection on her own terms and loves curling up beside you for naps once she feels comfortable.

Don't let her softer side fool you, though... this girl is FULL of energy. Whether she's zooming around with her siblings, wrestling, or launching herself at toys, Eenie is always ready for fun and can play for hours without slowing down. She's the perfect mix of gentle and goofy.

Eenie has been around dogs and does great with them, happily coexisting and even sleeping near them without paying them much mind.

Because Eenie is still a young kitten, she will need to be adopted with another kitten or into a home with a friendly furry companion.
