Domestic Short Hair Cats Available for Adoption

Nine year old Duchess had lived all of her life with one owner, until that owner passed away. Coming to a shelter was so traumatic for Duchess that she moved into a foster home with a volunteer.

It took a while for Duchess to settle in, but now that she feels comfortable and secure she looks for attention and loves to be petted. Although she’s not yet a lap cat, she does like sitting next to people she knows.

Duchess needs a quiet home with an owner who can be patient while Duchess adjusts to a new environment. She has not lived with children, dogs, or other cats.

Duchess is spayed, microchipped, and current with vaccinatons.

Duchess is not at the shelter. If you are interested in meeting or adopting her, email adopt@mansfieldshelter.org to request an application.
