Meet Cardamom – Small in Size, Big in Personality!
Cardamom is a funny, playful, and snuggly one-year-old kitty who packs a whole lot of charm into her petite frame. Weighing just under 8 pounds, she’s sweet, sassy, and full of personality.
In her foster home, Cardamom is a bit of a Velcro kitty—she loves to be near her people and follows them from room to room like a tiny shadow. She divides her time between lap lounging, playing with toys, and watching the world go by from a sunny window.
Cardamom is also delightfully talkative! She’s a chatty little thing with an adorably bossy streak—often “giving instructions” on when it’s time for pets, snacks, or play. Her future adopter will have fun learning what all her different meows mean.
She loves chasing wand toys and showing off her graceful jumps during playtime. She has been calm and cooperative with nail trims, medications, and vet visits, and she’s perfectly litter-trained. Her foster says she’s been an absolute joy to have around.
Cardamom would thrive in a home where she can be the center of attention and share her affection (and her opinions!) with her people.

All adult dogs, cats, and kittens are altered prior to adoption. Puppies too young to be altered at the time of adoption must be brought to our partner vet in Ashland, VA for spay or neuter paid for by Operation Paws for Homes by 6 months of age. Adopters may choose to have the procedure done at their own vet before 6 months of age and be reimbursed the amount that the rescue would pay our partner vet in Ashland.
This cat's bio is based off the experiences of the foster and/or volunteers of OPH as well as any information that we received from the shelter or previous owner. This is very important because it means that while they may act one way in the foster’s home, you may experience something different in your home.
