Sitar - Persian and Domestic Short Hair Cat for Adoption in Richmond, Virginia

Hi, my name is Sitar. I am a 7-month-old, half-Persian, male, white and buff/light orange kitten. My mom is a purebred Persian and my dad is a Domestic Shorthair cow kitty! I may not have long hair, but I have a thick, plush coat that is so soft! I’m the definition of a cuddle bug! I will often meow to ask to be picked up, and once you pick me up, good luck putting me down! I will absolutely melt into your arms and happily let you hold me like a baby for as long as you want! I’m also a little purr machine and love to purr away while being held and cuddled. I enjoy toys, but I’m not quite as playful as my siblings. I definitely prefer cuddles and affection over playtime. I also don't play with my siblings very much because they can be a little too rowdy for me. I haven’t met any cats outside of my siblings, but I would likely do well in a home with other calm, laid-back cats. I would prefer a feline friend who shares my relaxed personality rather than one who constantly wants to play and jump on me. I haven’t been introduced to dogs or children yet, but I would likely do just fine with proper introductions. I am neutered, up-to-date on age-appropriate vaccines, tested for FIV/FeLV (negative/negative), and have my microchip. If you are interested in making me a part of your family, please click on the following link to fill out an Adoption Application http://www.purringheartsva.org and a volunteer will reach out to you within 72 hours. I hope to hear from my forever family soon!
