Domestic Short Hair Cats Available for Adoption

Bob tail? Check. Cat friends? Required. Head kisses from Patty? Strongly preferred (but she's open to other applicants). Duck is a social little sweetheart who fully believes in the importance of community—specifically, a community of cats who will love her, play with her, and participate in mutual grooming and affection. She's especially fond of catnip balls and can often be found happily entertaining herself... until it's time to go find a friend for snuggles. When meeting new cats, Duck may put on a brief “hissy mess” performance—but give her a little time and she settles in beautifully, often becoming affectionate and seeking out companionship (and yes... head kisses). If you're looking for a cat who brings both charm and built-in friendships, Duck is your girl.
