Domestic Short Hair Cats Available for Adoption

Stuffing is a beautiful 10-year-old calico with a gentle soul and so much love to give. She spent months at Sangamon County Animal Control waiting patiently for someone to choose her, and when her time there was running short, she made her way to St. Sophia's for a second chance at the forever home she deserves.

Stuffing may be a little shy when she first meets you, but underneath that quiet exterior is a true cuddle bug. Once she feels safe, she absolutely loves to snuggle and be close to her people. She's the kind of cat who bonds deeply and brings a calm, comforting presence to a home.

In her previous foster home, Stuffing was cherished and loved, and it was clear how special she is—not just to adults, but to children too. Saying goodbye to her was truly heartbreaking for the family who cared for her, but they wanted to make sure she had the very best opportunity to find a home where she could thrive.

Stuffing has been waiting a long time for her happy ending. If you have a quiet home, a soft place to curl up, and a heart open to a sweet senior who just wants to be loved, Stuffing is ready to fill your days with gentle companionship and warm cuddles.
