Grifter’s story reads like a page from a con man’s playbook, but his only scheme these days is working his way into someone’s heart. Buff and compact, this adult Domestic Short Hair put his street smarts to use when he decided life indoors beat hustling for handouts. He’s FIV+ from his time outside, and that’s just a detail, not a deal-breaker—he’s shown an uncanny ability to bounce back. After some dental work, a full shave to rid him of old mats, and a fresh start, Grifter’s attitude did a 180: once cautious, now he’s pressing his head into open hands and thriving with daily affection. Grifter is house trained, neutered, and fully vaccinated. He’s relieved, grateful, and a living example that second acts are real for cats like him. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
