Domestic Short Hair Cats Available for Adoption

Meet Franklin, a 1.5-year-old handsome boy with a lot of personality and charm! Franklin came to us as a stray, so his past is a bit of a mystery—but what we do know is that he’s a friendly, social kitty who enjoys being around people and is curious about the world around him. He has shown interest in other cats and may benefit from having a feline companion in his future home.

Franklin does have some special needs and is looking for an experienced cat owner who understands feline behavior. He shows signs of hyperesthesia, a condition that can cause him to become overstimulated at times, which may lead to him using his teeth or claws. Because of this, he would do best in an adult-only home with someone who can recognize his signals and help manage his environment. He is currently on medication to help manage his symptoms, and it will be important for his adopter to continue this care.

With the right home, Franklin has so much love and companionship to offer. If you’re interested in learning more about him we encourage you to come meet him at the shelter Tuesday–Thursday and Saturday from 11am–4pm, or Friday by appointment. You can also reach out via email at adoptions@quincyanimalshelter.org.
