Domestic Short Hair Cats Available for Adoption

Carpe Diem came to Hermitage in June of 2025 as a former outdoor kitty. He's quirky but incredibly sweet. The shelter is a bit overwhelming for him which causes him to be a little flighty. However, when you get your hands on him, he absolutely loves to be scrubbed. He deserves a home of his very own where it's not quite so busy.

Carpe Diem is FIV + which he knows is not a big deal. Please talk to a staff member about adopting a kitty with FIV.
