Domestic Short Hair Cats Available for Adoption

Hi, I'm Archie, a explorer first, cuddle buddy always.

I'm about a year and a half old, friendly as they come, and already settling into foster life like I own the place. One night in and I had favorite spots picked out (prime napping real estate is important). I'm curious and confident. I'd rather do a full house inspection than chase toys, but once I'm done exploring, I'm all about snuggling up. I've got a great temperament and a big, affectionate heart.

I'm excellent with other cats and love having feline friends to play with. I run, jump, climb furniture, and zoom up and down stairs without a second thought. You might notice I have a slightly unusual walk, but it's subtle, and honestly most people don't even notice it at first. I don't need any special care beyond keeping me at a healthy weight so I can stay feeling my best.

You'll also notice my ear. I came in with an injury that meant part of it had to be removed. I like to think it adds character. Rugged charm, if you will.

Bottom line? I'm a social, cuddly, easygoing guy who loves other cats, enjoys a good explore, and knows exactly when it's time to curl up and be adored. If you're looking for a friendly companion who fits right into your home (and onto your couch), I might just be your Archie.
