About Nemo

Nemo is a very spunky and playful kitten! He loves toys and gets the kitten zoomies. He would love a home where he can get lots of play in. Nemo does great with other cats and we believe would be a good fit for a home with dogs or cats as well. If you would like to meet Nemo, apply today!

About Domestic Short Hair Cats

Domestic Short Hairs are the most common cats found in shelters and are not a specific breed but rather a wonderfully diverse mix of feline genetics. Each one is unique, with their own blend of colors, patterns, and temperaments. They're adaptable, low-maintenance, and full of character.

Adopting a Domestic Short Hair means giving a home to a cat who truly needs one. These cats are the backbone of shelter populations and make endlessly rewarding companions. Their easy-care short coats and adaptable natures make them ideal for first-time and experienced cat owners alike.
