AvailableHelix is a small, adult male Domestic Short Hair who is two years old and currently resides in Port Washington, NY.

Helix’s gentle personality makes him an appealing companion for someone seeking a sweet, lower-key domestic cat.
About Helix
Helix is currently spending his days at the Adirondack Region Cat Adoption Center in Glens Falls, NY, where he's waiting for a family that understands the value of gentle patience. At just two years old, Helix has already shown a soft, cautious spirit—he's shy, but his sweetness can't be missed once he feels safe. Helix is FELV positive, which means his future is a little uncertain, but his needs aren't complicated: a quiet, warm place, understanding people, and, most of all, steady affection. With the right foster family, Helix could enjoy a life filled with comfort, stability, and compassionate care, regardless of what's ahead. He won't ask for much, just a heart willing to meet him where he is. By the way, with a birthday on May 7th, Helix is a Taurus—expect a gentle, loyal companion once he decides you’re trustworthy. Every animal deserves a happy ending. This one starts with you.
