Austin is a 5–6-month-old black and white domestic shorthair with a gentle heart and a soft spot for affection. He starts out a bit shy, but patience and gentle handling bring out his warm, cuddly nature. Once Austin settles in, his purrs are nearly nonstop and he won’t hesitate to soak up every bit of love you offer. He does best in calmer homes, especially with another friendly cat or adopted alongside his brother, Harlan, as feline companionship gives him extra confidence. Playful yet sweet, Austin enjoys quiet moments and is well-suited for households with older, respectful kids. As he gets comfortable, he becomes loyal and loving—a truly rewarding companion for those willing to give him the time he needs. Austin is currently in Warwick, RI, and is hoping for a place where he can grow surrounded by kindness. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
