Hi I’m Short Black! I am an 11-month-old, female black kitty with a touch of white on my chest. I’m a sweet girl, but I’m a little shy. I feel more comfortable around other cats and need some patience and time to trust you; but, once I do, you will see a different side of me. I am very talkative! I will meow at you and it will sound like I’m whining - but, don’t worry, that’s just my meow! I love getting pets - but in a very particular way! I want to lie down and stretch out, and then I want all the pets! I love Churu treats, and I love playing with toys - my favorite toy is a teaser wand toy! I will chase it for as long as you will play with me! I need to go to a home with another young, confident cat to be my friend. I haven't been introduced to dogs yet. I would likely prefer a calm home without small children. I am spayed, up-to-date on age-appropriate vaccines, tested for FIV/FeLV (negative/negative), and have my microchip. If you are interested in making me a part of your family, please click on the following link to fill out an Adoption Application http://www.purringheartsva.org and a volunteer will reach out to you within 72 hours. I hope to hear from my forever family soon!
