Tabby and Domestic Short Hair Cats Available for Adoption

Firefly is a beautiful 2-year 9-month old female Torbie kitty who was surrendered by her owner on February 10, 2026 because she was allergic to Firefly and was no longer able to keep her.

This little lovebug has a brown tabby short smooth coat with orange/bronze highlights in a Torbie pattern, a long ringed tail, and an adorable face with golden eyes, a brown velvet nose, and long white whiskers.

Firefly may look familiar to some of our volunteers and Facebook followers since she was adopted from HSOV in mid-August 2025.

Firefly is quite the social butterfly and wants attention more than anything else in the world. She is good with children and also with other cats. Firefly is faithfully litterbox trained and has been an exclusive indoor-only kitty. We don't know yet how Firefly feels about doggy friends.

Firefly was spayed on May 12, 2025 and was also given rabies vaccine. She weighed 7.2 lbs that day. Firefly is up-to-date on vaccinations.

This lovely kitty is ready to find another loving home with someone who will shower her with attention and playtime.
