Domestic Short Hair Cats Available for Adoption in Springfield, Missouri

I speak fluent meow 💬🐾 I'm Tumblr and although I was born 8/19/25, I am already a professional conversationalist! I’ll tell you everything you need to know with my voice: hello meows, pet-me-now meows, and yes… many, many strongly worded “I object to this carrier” meows. I believe communication is key. I’m still figuring out the world. With so much going on, I can get overwhelmed, but when it's quiet, I come alive. My toys mysteriously migrate overnight. I’m a certified cuddle expert. Not in the bed — no, no — I prefer to snuggle next to it, curled up with my stuffed animal like it’s my emotional support sidekick. When you pet me, I’ll flop, roll, tumble, and make the best air biscuits you’ve ever seen.
I can be a bit jumpy, so I’d really love a calm, peaceful home where I can feel safe and bloom at my own pace. I get along with older kids and a kitty sibling would be just dandy. I may be a little shy at first, but give me patience, a gentle hand, and someone to love… and I’ll give you a lifetime of soft cuddles, endless biscuits, and all the meows my tiny heart can hold 🐱💗

FYI: At this time I am FIV+, but I will be tested again to see if this changes.
