About Shortstop

Shortstop is a 3-month-old American Shorthair with a heart full of love despite his rough start. He came to the rescue with a broken leg, parasites, and a dislocated tail that required amputation. Now, with his cast removed and having been neutered, he’s ready for his forever home. While Shortstop currently needs assistance with bladder expression—something that's easy to learn and takes under five minutes—he's expected to gain normal bladder function over time. This playful little guy adores cuddling and revels in attention, making him a true purr machine. He also gets along well with other cats, making him a friendly addition to any household. If you’re looking for a brave companion who loves to play and cuddle, consider bringing Shortstop into your life. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
