Domestic Short Hair Cats Available for Adoption in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Junior is a handsome 4-year-old black cat with a calm, friendly, and rather goofy personality. He enjoys being around people and will happily rub against you for attention, making him a lovely companion for someone who wants a mellow cat with quiet charm.

This low-key guy is a true professional lounger. Junior loves food, naps on the bed or sofa, and occasionally gets in the mood to play with his toys. He enjoys head and back pets in moderation and likes affection on his own terms, so he would shine in a home with adults or older teens who appreciate a cat with clear boundaries and a lot of personality.

Junior also has mild CH (Cerebellar Hypoplasia), which just means he can be a little clumsy and has adorable little stompy steps. It does not affect his daily life (he eats, drinks, and uses the litter box well) and it is just one more thing that makes him special.
