Domestic Short Hair Cats Available for Adoption in Westminster, Maryland

Meet Ratt! This handsome 4-year-old orange gentleman is the perfect mix of playful energy and laid-back charm. With his warm amber eyes and soft, pumpkin-colored coat, he’s as sweet on the outside as he is on the inside.

He’s past the wild kitten stage but still loves a good game—whether it’s chasing a feather toy, pouncing on imaginary “prey,” or zooming around just because he can. When playtime is over, he’s all about the cuddles. He enjoys cozy naps in sunny windows, gentle head scratches, and being your loyal companion while you relax.

This boy has a friendly, affectionate personality and would thrive in a home where he can get attention, love, and a comfy spot to call his own. Adoptable cats/kittens are spayed/neutered, started on core vaccines per shelter protocols, microchipped, FIV/FeLV tested, and started on monthly preventatives.
