Melodygarden American Shorthairs

CFA Cattery of Distinction

Tickled Pink - Nominal adoption fee applies.

Pinkie (CH GP MelodyGarden Tickled Pink) is a neutered male American Shorthair in a color called Shaded Cameo & White, born April 19, 2024. Shaded Cameo & White is a rare color where the tips of the hairs are red, and the undercoat is white, making a "pink" appearance. He also has areas of pure white, mostly on his legs.

Pinkie loves to play with feather toys and especially laser toys. Being a young guy, the world is too exciting to be a lapcat at this time. He gets along well with other cats, but can be a bit on the timid side with dominant female cats. He has been shown successfully and with a bit more training might become a nice show cat.

Pinkie's idea of a perfect home is one where his staff would play games with him and cater to his every whim. Pinkie is quite food motivated and easily trained.


Mistletoe - Nominal adoption fee applies.

Mistletoe (CH MelodyGarden American Mistletoe) is a spayed female silver mackerel tabby American Shorthair born 05/14/2023. She has very pale tiger stripes on the body that may eventually disappear but she will retain distinct stripes on her head, neck, and tail.

Mistletoe is very confident, and loves to play with feather and laser toys. She is also very people-oriented and enjoys being a lapcat. Her main vice is that she likes to nibble on fingers, but can easily be trained not to do so. And, she's a bit of a kleptomaniac - she steals small objects and redistributes them around the house.

Mistletoe tends to be a dominant female cat, so she's looking for a home where there are no other cats to bully. She should be great with children. She is easily trained and has a sense of humor. She should get along with well-behaved dogs with a bit of training.


Monkeyflower - Nominal adoption fee applies.

Monkeyflower (MelodyGarden Monkeyflower) is a small shaded silver spayed female born 1/17/2025. She is fun-loving, sweet, and people-oriented. She loves to sleep in the bed with her favorite people and is developing into a lapcat. She should get along well with other pets, but can be bullied by more dominant cats. She is looking for a home where her people will give her regular attention and love.

Monkeyflower is a funny cat, with a sense of humor. She has good manners (stays off kitchen counters - at least while you're looking!) She is quite trainable with treats!!! She will probably stay small (about six pounds more or less).


Peony - Nominal adoption fee applies.

Peony (CH MelodyGarden California Peony) is a large (about 9 pounds) silver shaded & white spayed female born 03/13/2021. Shaded silver & white is a rare color where the tips of the hairs are black and the undercoat is silvery white, while the chest and legs are pure white. She gets along well with other confident cats of both sexes. She is laid back and not much flusters her. Peony's ideal home is one where she can be queen and not have to share her home with other cats. She would probably adapt well to a home with dogs.


American Flyer - Nominal adoption fee applies.

Flyer (GC MelodyGarden American Flyer) is a twelve pound large silver mackerel tabby & white neutered male born 03/13/2019. Silver mackerel means Flyer has black and white tiger stripes and "& white" means his chest and legs are pure white.

Flyer lives to play with laser toys. He is quite laid back; his motto is "goes along to get along." Admittedly, he is not the sharpest knife in the diswhasher, but he's a real sweetheart.

Flyer gets along well with both neutered male and spayed female cats, and should get along with a well-mannered dog. He loves to sleep at the foot of the bed, and be around people. He is well-mannered and very gentle with adults and children.
