American Shorthair kittens & cats in Cookeville, Tennessee

This is Thea. She loves to play and run. She is sweet and purrs a lot. Sadly she was born with a deformed vertebrae and it doesn’t allow her to control her bowl movements. She knows what the litter box is but her body just does what it wants. We’ve had her since she was 8 weeks old. She is now 5-6 months old. We took her in from a friend to help and foster her but her condition became something we can’t handle anymore. She’s been around 2 male grown cats and loves to play with them. From what I know she hasn’t been around dogs or kids.

This kitten is in Tennessee. Adoption Donation $100 if picked up in TN.* Visit http://aarf-tn.com/adopt/cat-adoption-application/ to apply. Michael is a 4-month-old domestic short hair kitten with a sleek, solid black coat and the calmest, sweetest personality. He is very mellow for his age and truly just wants to be close to his person. His favorite place is in your arms, being held like a baby, or curled up in your lap while you go about your day. Michael loves to sit nearby and quietly watch whatever you’re doing, occasionally hopping up for extra affection. He isn’t much into toys, but he does enjoy chasing a laser light when the mood strikes. Michael gets along well with other cats but is not a fan of dogs. Michael is an easy, loving companion, though he can be a little nervous in busy environments. Because of this, he would do best in a calm, quiet home without dogs or young children, where he can feel safe and soak up all the love he’s eager to give. Michael would be a wonderful match for someone looking for a gentle, affectionate kitten who wants nothing more than to be by your side. * $175 plus transport fee (varies) for adoptions to the Northeast.
