Domestic Short Hair Cats Available for Adoption in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

This pirate kitty is ready to steal your heart! Journey is snuggly, playful, social, and a little sassy. She absolutely loves pets and snuggling with her foster parents and will sit in your lap for the entire day if you let her, with breaks just for play time! Journey loves attention and would be happiest in a house that can give it to her. She has a super loud purr for being such a small girl.

Her favorite solo toys are ping pong balls and springs. She goes crazy chasing them around on hard floors. She's also a big fan of her silvervine teething stick. When playing with humans, she goes crazy for a wire & cardboard teaser stick. She is chatty and will be sure to let you know when her toy gets stuck behind furniture or when it's time for you to get involved in playtime!

In her previous house she did live with other cats, so she may do well with them again, but will likely need slow, patient introductions. She has tested negative for FIV & FeLV.

Her right eye was a micro-eye that was removed due to infection. There should be no further issues with it. Her other eye has a blocked tear duct that is not causing her issues in her foster home. Journey also has a heart murmur that is not causing her problems at this time but may need further examination. She has a broken tooth and tartar build up that may need future vet care.
