Adopt a Domestic Short Hair (short coat)

Domestic Short Hair (short coat) Cat

Risotto the Cat needs a home

This cat is part of our shelter outreach program where we take pets from overcrowded shelters in hopes of finding them a forever home here! We generally do not have much background info on them. They are all up to date on vaccines, spayed/neutered and microchipped.


Approx. 5 months old as of 10-1-17.  Siblings with Ravioli and Spumoni.  


Risotto is handsome fellow with a soft black coat and big, beautiful eyes. One of several kittens who came to us from an overcrowded shelter in the South, this little boy is a mouser for sure! Just toss him a furry little friend and he’ll guard it like a treasure, growling protectively lest anyone take it away. He’d be happy to carry that mouse around all day, or at least until he sees a string toy. Then he’ll show off his famous high-jumps, twisting in the air like an acrobat. He loves to be petted and will rub against your hand asking for more. Sweet, playful, and handsome to boot… what more can you ask in a kitten? Come in and meet this little Italian charmer today. He’s just waiting for your love!


*Per JSAC policy, puppies and kittens under 6 months will not be adopted to families with children under the age of 6 years.
