Meet Heathcliff – The Perfect Blend of Playful and Sweet!
Heathcliff is a handsome little guy with soft short-to-medium tabby fur and the most charming round spots that make him look like a miniature cheetah! His mom is an American Shorthair tabby, and he inherited her striking looks with a wild twist.
Heathcliff is the best of both worlds—full of kitten energy and loads of affection. He loves to race around with his siblings, chase toys, and engage in a good game of kitten tag. But once he’s done playing, he’s just as happy to curl up in his foster mom’s lap for some cuddle time.
This sweet boy is already litter trained and thriving in his foster home. He’s well-socialized, curious, and ready to bring joy to his forever family.
Veterinary Care Included:

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.
