Domestic Short Hair Cats Available for Adoption

Stevie is an incredibly friendly, social and affectionate cat who is eager to befriend everyone. She is adorably talkative, and will walk around chirping and squeaking at humans in an earnest attempt to communicate. She was a little shy at her foster home for about a day, but quickly started following the humans around, plopping next to them on the couch and head-butting their legs.

She is mischievous and playful, and loves to explore and find places to crawl into or jump up on. She loves to play with cat toys, rugs, socks, or anything that seems like she can roll around on and attack. If whatever she is playing with is small, she will sometimes pick it up in her mouth and trot away with it proudly.

She loves to plop down on her back and flip around, chirping and purring. She is so happy to be close to humans, that her foster mom realized Stevie could be picked up and carried around the house, and Stevie would just relax in her arms, purring and kneading. She loves getting pets, and loves when humans will throw cat toys at her or play with ropes or strings with her. She also is a big fan of cat tv, and will intently watch livestreams of bird feeders on youtube, sometimes jumping up next to the tv and trying to swat at the birds.

Stevie was very patient with the 4-year-old human girl who shared her foster household, and liked to walk right into whatever she was playing with, purring and head butting her. A younger kid might not be recommended.

Stevie does like to try to jump up onto kitchen counters while you are cooking, so if that bothers you it might be good to have a new home where she can't always access the kitchen.

This is a very sweet cat who would be a wonderful addition to the home of anyone looking for a constant and loving companion to talk to and hang out with whenever they are home.
