Domestic Short Hair Cats Available for Adoption in Jarrettsville, Maryland

Gary is a 4-year-old total heartthrob with the softest fur you've ever felt-seriously, you won't be able to stop petting him (and he won't mind one bit). This confident, friendly guy knows exactly who he is and isn't shy about leaning in for affection.

He enjoys being pet and doted on, and while he may not demand to be picked up, he settles in nicely and seems to enjoy it when he is.

When it comes to other animals, Gary is a pro:
Fantastic with other cats-friendly and social, but also respectful of cats who prefer their space
Good with calm, respectful dogs who understand personal boundaries

Brave, easygoing, and full of charm, Gary is truly the total package. He's ready to bring his soft fur and even softer personality into a home that will love him right back.
