Domestic Short Hair Cats Available for Adoption in Springfield, Missouri

Strike up the music—just maybe keep it a little on the quiet side while I find my rhythm. I’m Fandango, a sweet boy born on March 9, 2026, with a gentle heart and a playful spirit. I might be a little shy at first—especially around loud noises—but give me a little time and patience, and you’ll see me start to come out of my shell. Once I feel safe, I really enjoy being loved on. Pets, cuddles, and soft attention are my favorite ways to bond, and I’m learning more every day that people can be pretty wonderful. I’ve also got a playful side, and I love joining in on fun when things feel calm and comfortable. Because I’m still young, I’ll likely adjust well to having furry siblings with proper introductions. I just need a home that understands I might take a little time to settle in—and that’s when you’ll start to see my sweet, friendly personality truly shine.

I’ll be having my surgery on May 19th and will be ready for adoption three days later. If you’re looking for a gentle, loving kitten who just needs a soft place to land (and maybe a quieter dance floor), I’d love to be your perfect partner.


My adoption fee is $75. This fee includes my vaccinations, FIV/FELV testing, de-wormer, spay/neuter, microchip, and flea preventative. Fill out an application at https://www.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/ROS/Cat if you would like to meet me!
