Domestic Short Hair Cats Available for Adoption

Ideal Home: Quiet, patient, and with a confident feline friend
Personality: Shy Soul * Playful Heart

Meet Aggie 💛

At just 1, almost 2 year old, this soft-eyed beauty has officially been in our care for 486 days -- patiently waiting for someone to see the magic in her gentle heart.

Aggie is a quiet observer by day, happiest tucked into a cozy nook or peeking out from behind a curtain while she takes in the world around her. She's still learning that indoor life is safe and that humans can be trusted.

But when the lights go out? That's her time to shine. 🌙 Once the house is asleep, Aggie lets loose -- zooming, pouncing, and joyfully tossing her toys like the playful kitten she truly is.

Aggie will thrive in a calm home with someone who understands that trust is built slowly. She doesn't need perfection -- just patience. A friendly, confident cat companion is a must for her. Another kitty helps her feel safe and shows her that humans = warmth, love, and reliable treat service.

She's available for regular adoption or a foster-to-adopt placement giving her (and you) the chance to build that bond at her pace.

If you believe the quiet ones are worth the wait, Aggie just might be your girl. 💕 Fill out an application and come meet this shy sweetheart.

About Ten Lives:

Ten Lives Cat Rescue is a 501(c)(3), nonprofit organization located in Rhode Island. Our foster-based program is 100% volunteer-powered. We do not have a facility or shelter with regular visiting hours. Out of respect for the time, privacy, and safety of our foster families, we require an approved adoption application before scheduling a meet and greet with a foster cat.

Our goal is to place cats in their best-matched homes and facilitate lifelong adoptions. We do not review applications on a first-come, first-serve basis. We believe that veterinary care is an important part of cat guardianship. As such, a veterinary check is part of our adoption process. Our goal is to contact applicants within 96 business hours of receiving their application. During kitten season, wait times may be longer due to the influx of applications. We are all volunteers and kindly ask for your patience!

All Ten Lives cats are spayed or neutered, receive age-appropriate vaccinations, tested for FIV/FeLv and parasites, dewormed, treated for fleas, and microchipped. These services are inclusive of the adoption fee.
