Hi, I'm Potter — a 5-year-old brown tabby with striking white markings and a heart as gentle as they come . I'm neutered, litter box trained, and ready to settle into a calm, adult-only home where I can be your devoted companion. I'd do best as your one and only cat, and I'm not a fan of dogs, so I'm looking for a peaceful household where I can truly relax. After being found abandoned outside, I'm ready to show you just how loving and friendly I can be in the right environment . Come meet me — I promise to be the perfect quiet companion you've been looking for!

Adopting a cat in Albany County
Most rescues ask you to fill in an application, meet the cat, and pay an adoption fee that usually covers spaying or neutering, vaccinations and a microchip. Many are foster-based, so you'll often meet your cat in a volunteer's home rather than a shelter.
Senior cats are often the calmest companions and the slowest to find homes. If you'd like a settled, affectionate cat, ask the rescues about their older residents.
Kittens go quickly, especially in spring and summer. If you've fallen for one, contact the rescue soon, and think about adopting two: young cats keep each other company and out of mischief.
