Domestic Short Hair Cats Available for Adoption in New York, New York

Heirloom aka “Ollie” is a 1-year-old ginger tabby with a full social calendar and absolutely no time for laps.

This playful, curious boy came from an industrial warehouse, so he’s still figuring out this whole “human” thing, but don’t let that fool you. Give him a little patience and he’ll be trotting after you from room to room like a tiny orange shadow. He’s just not ready to cuddle yet. He’s busy.

Heirloom lives for the thrill of the chase, toy mice, feather wands, anything airborne. When he’s in the mood for something different, you’ll find him parked in front of cat TV on YouTube like it’s his job. He also has a very specific, very unexplained fascination with watching a clean toilet flush. We don’t question it.

As a kitty still building his confidence, Heirloom feels safest napping in cozy, tucked-away spots, a closet, under the bed, his own little HQ. Just call his name and he’ll come bounding out, ready for round two.

He is an enthusiastic eater, a devoted Churu fan, and an all-around good boy on the move.

Heirloom would thrive in a home with another young cat or kitten to match his energy, and a person who appreciates a cat who loves you, just from the other side of the couch, for now.
