Domestic Short Hair Cats Available for Adoption

Hi, I’m Astrid!

I’m a stunning black beauty with soulful eyes and a heart just as soft as her fur. Shy and a bit timid at first, I’m sure to blossom into the sweetest companion. Once I feel safe, my loving nature shines through.

Born this past April and rescued alongside my siblings from a Royal Oak yard, I have grown into a healthy, happy, and confident young girl.

I’m wonderfully independent, content doing my own thing, yet truly enjoys the company of my feline friends.

I’m curious, playful, and quietly affectionate — the kind of cat who brings a calm, comforting presence into a home.

I don’t demand attention, and am ready for a forever home that will let me be myself, give me some time to settle in, and you’re sure to love me for the gentle, happy soul I am.

I would love to be adopted with one of my kitten friends—Tart, Lily, Hiccup, Tuff Nut,—or into a home with another friendly cat. Double the cats, double the warmth!

Astrid is currently in a foster home. If you are interested in meeting her, please send a message here, or email adopt@ahsem.org.
