About Speedy

Speedy is a playful, affectionate adult cat with both Domestic Short Hair and American Shorthair roots. Her black and chocolate brown short coat stands out as she chases toys around the room, always ready to switch from bursts of zooming to curling up for a quiet cuddle. Lively but gentle, Speedy brings both energy and comfort in equal measure. She hasn’t mastered house training yet, so some patience (and a litter box routine) will come in handy. You will need to arrange an in-person meeting to see if she’s a fit for your home—no skip-the-line remote adoptions here. Give her the right introduction, and she’ll likely become your go-to companion for fun and calm alike. They are ready to love you; are you ready to apply?
