Domestic Short Hair Cats Available for Adoption in Murfreesboro, Tennessee

☀️ Meet Sunshine (aka Pal)! ☀️

Some cats come looking for food. Sunshine came looking for love.

This handsome orange tabby appeared near a feeding station for community cats, but it was immediately clear he was different. The moment he saw a person, he started meowing for attention and walked right up for pets. He wasn't interested in living outside—he wanted a family.

Sunshine is estimated to be 1–2 years old, neutered, up-to-date on vaccinations, and has been given a clean bill of health. He is FIV+, but the virus is dormant, and he can live a long, happy, normal life indoors—even with other cats—as long as there is a peaceful environment.

Like the classic orange boy you've heard about, Sunshine is incredibly affectionate, people-focused, and full of personality. Food is nice, but being with his humans is what truly makes him happy.

Right now, Sunshine is being safely cared for, but he's spending his days in a garage without windows. For a cat who craves companionship this much, we know there's a better life waiting for him.

If you have other cats, we're happy to arrange a trial period before adoption to make sure everyone is a good fit. We'd prefer adopters within 30 miles of Murfreesboro, TN so we can help support a smooth transition.

Sunshine has already lost one family. Let's help him find the forever home he deserves. 🧡🐾
