Russian Blue and Domestic Short Hair Cats Available for Adoption in Yakima, Washington

Meet Baptiste, a four-year-old Domestic Shorthair cat.

Meet Baptiste — a sweet, gentle cat who is learning to feel safe and confident again. When he first arrived, he tended to be shy and prefer quiet hiding spots, but with time and care he begins to show his softer, affectionate side.

Baptiste came to us with an injury, but he has healed beautifully and is now doing much better. He is FeLV/FIV negative and ready to start fresh in a calm, loving environment where he can continue to thrive at his own pace.

Because he appreciates peace and predictability, Baptiste would do best in a quieter home where he can slowly build trust and confidence. With patience, he will reward his person with gentle companionship and quiet affection.
