Meet Birch! Birch has a crucial message: don’t judge him by his adoption photos. This handsome gray-and-white Domestic Shorthair may look like he's never met a camera, but in reality, he’s a sweet, social, and entertaining little guy. He definitely deserves more Instagram fame than his current portfolio suggests. Estimated to have been born on April 8, 2026, Birch adores everyone he meets. People? He loves them. Other cats? Double the love. And the family dog? He’s very curious and has taken up the role of a canine undercover agent, often trailing the resident dog around the house, trying to curl up next to her. Birch has picked this dog as his best friend and is intent on making that friendship happen. When Birch isn’t busy researching canine behavior, he’s a lively little kitten. He’s always ready to play with his toys and zoom around, ensuring life is never dull. This affectionate boy doesn’t mind being held once he’s spent some of that energy. Birch thrives in the company of other cats or kittens, so he requires a home with a feline buddy. While he has shown interest in having a dog friend as well, his forever home must have another cat or kitten to play with. His photos may suggest he doesn’t realize he’s being photographed, but trust us: Birch is much cuter in person. Come meet him and see why this boy’s personality deserves a five-star review, even if his photo skills are just two stars. You may want to consider a social media manager for his Instagram account once you adopt him. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
