Hello there, my name is Rex! I am a 2 year old Domestic Shorthair cat who was brought to CHA when my owner could no longer care for me. I am a very sweet gentleman who is a little shy at first. Once I get to know you though, I open up and begin to show my loving personality! I adore attention and will petition you for chin and ear scratches, but I am not a fan of being picked up or held. I dream of a forever home that has the patience to give me both the space and the attention that I crave. I absolutely love other cats. I`ve made friends with so many other cats in my room, and I would love to go to a home that already has a cat. If you are looking for an affectionate little guy to add warmth and joy to your home, come out and meet with me at CHA today!

Adopting a American Curl

Frequently asked questions about acquiring an American Curl - the pros and cons of adopting versus going through a breeder, and associated costs.

It typically costs $50 to $150 to adopt an American Curl kitten or adult from a shelter or rescue organization. Adoption fees often cover an initial exam, parasite preventatives, microchipping, spay/neuter, and vaccines. Conversely, buying an American Curl from a breeder can be prohibitively expensive and can cost $1,200 to $3,000.

The easiest way to adopt an American Curl is through searching shelters and cat-specific rescues. Since this breed is rare, you may need to expand your search outside of your local region. A great place to start is with a breed search on Adopt a Pet, which can show you all adoptable American Curls within your area or nationwide.

American Curl fun facts

Fun Facts:

The first ever American Curl's name was "Shulamith," which is Hebrew for "black but comely."

Because this is a relatively new breed, it will take a few more decades before the type is consistent in shape, hair type, and personality.

This breed retains its kitten-like energy and sensibilities well into adulthood, thus earning it the moniker the "Peter Pan of cats."
