Kittens and cats can light up a room with their crazy antics; zooming around, tumbling like gymnasts and stalking the ever-illusive prey known as catnip mice. But wouldn’t it be nice to have a cat that is happy sitting with you, purring and peaceful?
Animal rescue groups in the Sacramento area have many adoptable indoor cats that are very people-friendly, content and cuddly; especially somewhat older adult cats that are happy and playful but might prefer a less hectic lifestyle.
A few cats that would be perfect for you are listed below; all have been health-checked, spayed/neutered and are current on their immunizations.
The volunteers at LAPCATS, a nonprofit group supporting the Sacramento County Animal Shelter, say that Miss Chloe is “the ultimate lap cat”. She is a beautiful gray Persian mix who wants nothing more than to be with you. She loves to sit in your lap and will even cuddle and keep you warm when you lay down. Miss Chloe is 12 years old, healthy and her front paws have been declawed.
Or consider Greta, a very sweet and loving girl up for adoption through HART (Helen’s Animal Rescue Team). She is 3-1/2, a short-haired black and white with huge, gorgeous green eyes. Greta is a lot of fun but does has one “pet” peeve; she doesn't like to share a lap, so she needs to be the only animal in the family.
Billy is a handsome, long-haired steel-gray, chocolate and cream fellow from the City of Folsom Animal Shelter. Officer Cindy Walden of the Folsom shelter says that 10-year-old Billy is “more of a mellow cuddling companion than a raucous playful guy. If you're into watching DVDs on the couch...so is he”.
Gypsy from FieldHaven Feline Rescue, Indie from Happy Tails and Choya from Purrs For You are all beautiful, mellow cats who love people and just need a warm lap and some attention.
Interested in a gorgeous, big silky gray long-haired cat with beautiful blue eyes? His name is Blue-Blue and he loves to be brushed and petted.
