Domestic Short Hair Cats Available for Adoption in Rochester, Minnesota

There is a gypsy proverb that goes like this: After bad luck comes good fortune. I’m just over 3½ years old, and I’ve already had a good deal of both good fortune and bad luck. I was first adopted from Paws and Claws in October 2022, then returned in September 2023 because I did not do well with the children in that home. Then I was adopted again the following spring, and my person thought she would love me forever. Now her mother brought me back because her daughter left me with her mom and said she no longer wants to take care of me. Her mother brought me back to the shelter. So, here I am again. I’m hoping that the third time will really, really be my lucky charm. My “grandma” – my former adopter’s mom – said that I am kind, affectionate, and playful. I like toys, and I do like children. She said you should be aware that I might nip when I don’t want to be petted, so I may do best in a home with older children. I did okay with other cats and dogs, but I would prefer to be “an only child” in the home. I love sunbathing and birdwatching. You may notice that I am no longer a petite boy, so I could benefit from more exercise in the form of play and dietary monitoring under veterinary supervision. I truly am a lovable guy, and I am hoping for a forever home as someone’s terrific, true-blue friend, Thomas.
