Domestic Short Hair Cats Available for Adoption

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.My name is Jolly Rancher, and I really am as sweet as the candy. I’m the kind of cat who lights up when new people walk into the room—I trot right over, ready to introduce myself and see if they’re offering a lap, a cuddle, or both. I’m affectionate, smart, and I communicate in the universal feline language of big, happy purrs.

I love spending time with my person, especially when we’re playing together. Feather wands, toy mice, crinkly balls, fish that flop around—if it moves, I’m interested. And when playtime is over, I’m more than ready to curl up on your lap and soak up all the love you’re willing to give.

I’ll be honest: other cats confuse me at first. I might hiss a little until I figure out who’s who and what’s what. But once I know they’re friendly, I settle down and show my sweeter side.
