Domestic Short Hair Cats Available for Adoption in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Darwin is a sweet, affectionate "petite gem", weighing between 7-8 lbs. She loves being pet--often stretching out on a rug, purring loudly--and enjoys sitting on our laps or beside us on our chairs. Though she's 10 years old, Darwin is still playful, tossing around little toys (tiny stuffed things, scrunched up pipe cleaners, etc), jumping at chipmunks and birds outside the window, and getting out her zoomies around the house. She doesn't love loud noise (rambunctious kids in the house or noisy cars/fireworks outside), but otherwise she's easy going and content. She will likely do best in a home as an only pet.

Darwin is presently undergoing treatment for elevated liver enzymes but responding well to a couple of easy daily meds. PAWS staff can chat with you if you'd like to learn more!
