Domestic Short Hair Cats Available for Adoption in Lowell, Massachusetts

This petite black beauty may be a bit shy at first, but give her a little time and she’ll quietly steal your heart—and your lap. Once she feels safe, she transforms into a total cuddlebug, happily settling in for long, purring hangouts where she soaks up all the cozy attention.

She has a playful side too, especially when it comes to spring toys and her beloved toy mice—she’ll proudly carry them around like tiny treasures. While she may hang back at first, she’s always observing and gaining confidence, learning from her feline role model.

She’d thrive in a calm home with another cat and would do best with adults or older, cat-savvy kids who understand her gentle nature. After being found in a dumpster early in life, she’s been learning that humans can be safe and loving—and she’s ready to share that soft, sweet affection with a patient forever family.

Our shelter is open Tuesday-Sunday from 12-4 (closed Mondays). If you are interested in fostering this pet, please review our foster process at https://www.lowellhumanesociety.org/get-involved/#foster-care-program or email forms@lowellhumanesociety.org .
