Domestic Short Hair Cats Available for Adoption in Yakima, Washington

Meet Milo, a five-and-a-half-year-old Domestic Shorthair cat.

Milo’s story is a tough one. He was originally adopted from us as a kitten, and recently found his way back as a stray. When we contacted the number on his microchip, it matched the person who reported finding him—but they denied being his owner. It’s a sad situation all around, and now Milo is left starting over, hoping for the kind of forever home he truly deserves.

Despite everything, Milo remains a sweet and gentle soul. He’s incredibly soft, both in fur and personality, and enjoys exploring new spaces at his own pace. He’s curious about the world and quietly takes it all in, making him a lovely companion for someone who appreciates a calm, affectionate cat.

Milo isn’t just looking for a home—he’s looking for someone who will choose him for life, no matter what. If you’re ready to give a cat the stability and love he’s been missing, Milo is ready to give his heart right back.
