Domestic Short Hair Cats Available for Adoption

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Hi, I’m Butterscotch, a sleek little shadow of a girl — soft, shiny, and absolutely devoted to anyone who gives me attention.

I love rubbing my head against your hand, your arm, your sleeve — anything that lets me say, “You’re mine, and I adore you.” I will crawl into your lap like I live there. I’m also a climber. Give me a cat tree and I’ll scale it like a tiny panther, then perch at the top to watch the world outside. Birds, leaves, cars — I love it all. It’s my peaceful little lookout spot.

Loud noises and quick movements can startle me, and I might dart away for a moment. But once I realize everything’s okay, I come right back, ready for more pets, more snuggles, and more love. If you’re looking for a gentle, loving kitten who wants to be close, who purrs like a tiny engine, and who will bond deeply with her person, I’m your girl. I can’t wait to find the lap that will become my forever home.
