Domestic Short Hair Cats Available for Adoption in Yakima, Washington

Meet Maven, a six month old Domestic Shorthaired cat.

Maven came to us after being owner surrendered due to having too many animals in the home, and she’s now ready for a fresh start where she can truly shine. This sweet girl has a happy, outgoing personality and brings warmth wherever she goes.

Maven is friendly with people and quick to show her affectionate side—especially when those paws start making biscuits. She’s a gentle, loving cat who enjoys attention and being near her people, soaking up every bit of kindness offered her way.

With her easygoing nature and joyful spirit, Maven would make a wonderful companion for just about any loving home ready to give her the second chance she deserves.
