Domestic Short Hair Cats Available for Adoption in Jarrettsville, Maryland

Latte is back in our care after proving she was a little too fun for her previous home-this 1-year-old girl has a playful, spunky personality and isn't afraid to show it! If you're looking for a cat with energy, charm, and a little quirkiness, she's your girl.

This petite queen did an amazing job raising her babies, and now it's finally her turn to be spoiled. She's friendly, curious, and will happily greet you at the door like she's been waiting all day just for you.

Latte does well with male cats and dogs with slow introductions. She is learning how to be friends and right now, appreciates her space and prefers the title of roommates.

She doesn't mind being picked up and, once she's settled in, will happily curl up with you for some cozy downtime. And the sweetest little detail? She has a tiny heart marking on her chest-just like the foam art on top of a perfectly made latte.
