Domestic Short Hair Cats Available for Adoption in Portland, Oregon

Damien is a 9-week-old kitten and a scientist in the making. Curious about absolutely everything, she spends her days conducting important experiments around the house — especially involving her water fountain. She’s fascinated by buoyancy and loves testing which toys sink and which float. The toys that sink are especially puzzling to her, so she works tirelessly to figure out the best way to “fish” them back out.

Recently, Damien has turned her attention to the staircase, where she’s been studying force, mass, and acceleration. Some toys race down the stairs at top speed, while others barely move at all — and Damien is determined to understand why.

Beyond her brilliant scientific mind, Damien is energetic, playful, and full of personality. She loves roughhousing, especially with her sibling Blueberry, and would do best in a home with another kitten to help burn off energy and be her lifelong playmate.

Damien is equal parts curious explorer and goofy kitten, guaranteed to keep her future family entertained every single day. Damien was born 3/13/26
