Domestic Short Hair Cats Available for Adoption

Axle --Estimated DOB: 11/24/2025

Axle is a handsome ginger boy who is very shy and still learning to feel safe in his surroundings. He will need a quiet, patient home where he can adjust at his own pace and build trust gradually.

Axle is best suited for a home with children 12+, as he does not do well with quick movements or a lot of activity. A calm environment will help him feel secure and allow his personality to slowly emerge.

Like his sister Parker, Axle was found in a downtown parking garage, likely after riding in on a car during a cold winter day. He will need an adopter who understands that shy kittens take time, but with patience and consistency, he has the potential to grow into a loving companion.
