Domestic Short Hair Cats Available for Adoption

This bonded duo may just be the sweetest love story in the shelter. Both boys are FIV+, and they met right here while waiting for their forever homes. What started as two shy cats sharing space turned into a beautiful friendship — and now they’re inseparable.

Meek Mill is the quieter half of the pair. He prefers to observe the world from a safe distance, taking everything in before making his move. Crayon is his security blanket and biggest cheerleader, helping him feel safe and brave. With his trusted people (and especially if snacks are involved), Meek will gather his courage and come seek out gentle pets. He is a big foodie, and treats are the fastest way to his heart.

Crayon is the more confident and outgoing brother. He adores pets, happily accepts snacks, and even allows his trusted humans to pick him up. He’s the steady presence that reassures Meek that the world isn’t so scary after all.

Both boys are shy when meeting new people, but they warm up quickly — especially if you come bearing food. They do well with other cats and would likely thrive in a home that understands gentle introductions and patience.

Currently, Meek Mill and Crayon are the shelter’s longest residents. They’ve been waiting, watching other cats go home, hoping their turn will come. They don’t need a perfect home — just a loving one. A place where they can continue to grow in confidence, snack happily, and curl up together at the end of each day.

If you’re ready to open your heart to two deserving boys who found comfort in each other, Meek Mill and Crayon are ready to find comfort with you
