Yates has the most striking fur and is, simply put, a gorgeous boy! He is a little timid, but he very much wants love and attention; he needs someone willing to show him a little patience and understanding for him to really blossom.

American Shorthairs are known for their longevity, robust health, good looks, quiet disposition and amiability with children and dogs. Yates is playful and loves toys, especially catnip mice and balls with bells in them.

The American Shorthair is America's own breed, whose ancestors came to North America with early settlers from Europe. Records indicate that the "Mayflower" carried several cats to hunt ship's rats. For centuries, "working cats" flourished along with their pioneer owners and eventually established themselves as the native North American shorthaired cat.

Yates and the other American Shorthairs were taken in from bad living situation with almost 70 other cats.
