An American Tail Domestic Short Hair Austin, TX

Loving, Purry, Friendly to all!

An American Tail has quite the tale to tell! It's a tale of love, and she tells it to you by giving you one of her trademark hugs, accompanied by her happy purr. She loves for you to pick her up and give her lots of pets. The more you know her the more affectionate she becomes, which you might find hard to believe, because she is friendly pretty much from the moment she meets you! She happily accepts all the snuggles you have to give.

American Tail wants to make everyone her friend! She is welcoming to every human she meets, as well as with the resident dogs in her foster home. She and the resident senior cat balance each other out and get along great, too. She is super socially confident and an expert in getting along!

Full of curiosity, American Tail can't wait to investigate every room and every corner in the house. Nothing escapes her interest, and she is happiest when she is engaged in something intriguing! She is a super playful girl. She loves having a cat friend, but can also easily entertain herself.

American Tail doesn't have a tail, and here's the tale about that: she came to APA! after being attacked by another animal, which caused her to lose her tail. It also damaged her spine, giving her a continence consequence. She can pee some on her own, and needs her human to supplement that with manual expression, plus some meds. She is so easy to "express" - which means gently pressing on her bladder to help her go pee - and her foster mom can express her in less than a minute! Manual expression is pretty simple to learn and APA! will show you how. For more information, please contact APA!

And whether you're expressing her, giving her treats, picking her up, petting her, or whatever - she is purring! She basically has a perpetual purr.

American Tail is super cute with a white chest patch in the middle of her coal-black coat. She is searching for a happy ending to her tale, and simply wants to spread her love! Contact us today to arrange a meet & greet with An American Tail, our little hero.

All APA! cats are fully vetted, spayed or neutered, and have updated vaccines and a microchip. Lifetime support is offered by our Cat Behavior Team.
