Domestic Short Hair Cats Available for Adoption in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Meet Gumball, a chatty little cat! Her meow is the cutest, and she's a great conversationist. For being just around 1 year old, she sure does love a cozy place to nap all day long! She also loves attention and pets, and will have small bursts of energy to play.

She can get a bit overstimulated with too much petting and isn't always a fan of being picked up, so a home with cat-savvy, older kids would be best. We're unsure how she will do with other pets. Her foster mom is working on slow introductions with the resident cats, but so far, she hisses at the other cats through the baby gate.

Gumball was hanging around her finder's home outside for several weeks, but took her time warming up to the idea of coming inside. Once she was ready, she made it known by weaving in and out, rubbing against her finder's legs. This continues to be her favorite way to show affection! She was skinny at the time, but is gaining weight and much healthier now.
