Domestic Short Hair Cats Available for Adoption in Portland, Oregon

What my friends at OHS say about me:

I am a sweet and sensitive lady who takes a little time to build trust and make friends.Give me a little time to adjust and I will show you I am the biggest sweetheart.Please provide some hidey spots for me to access when I need time to feel safe!I appreciate having some alone time where I can do my own thing and hang out with you nearby.Mental enrichment activities are a great way to entertain me, work my brain, and build our bond.My life's mission is to keep a spot on your couch warm... and one on your bed too.I have been known to shower my favorite people with love.I am preparing to charm my way into your heart if you come meet me.

Overstimulation: I enjoy interacting with people, but petting can easily become overwhelming and unpleasant for me. I may exhibit my discomfort in a variety of ways, including biting, and need an owner who pays close attention to my body language.
Handling Sensitivity: I can be overwhelmed by overhandling, restraint or touch. I may exhibit my discomfort in a variety of ways and will need to go to a cat savvy home.
Fearful Behavior: I can be worried about new people or new surroundings. I prefer to take things at my own pace and will need to go home to a calm environment.


The type of home I'm looking for:

I am not for the first time cat owner. Someone very familiar with feline body language is a must for me, and I would do best with an owner who has had experience owning or caring for shy and fearful cats.

I would flourish in a calm environment and a low-traffic home.
