American Shorthair Cats Available for Adoption in Wheeling, Illinois

Meet Coco!

Coco is a beautiful black cat with a heart as soft as her silky fur. Sweet, affectionate, and gentle, Coco loves nothing more than curling up beside her favorite people for cozy naps and quiet companionship. She has a calm, loving personality that makes everyone feel instantly at ease. Whether she's softly purring in your lap or following you around with her bright, curious eyes, Coco is always ready to share her love. This lovely girl would make the perfect companion for anyone looking for a loyal and comforting best friend.

Coco was surrendered to Chicago Animal Care and Control in the middle of April along with 3 other sweet cats and she is now looking for a forever home to call her own!

She is up-to-date on her FVRCP and Rabies vaccines and she is FIV and FeLV negative.

Coco has not been spayed yet but it is important to us that all of our animals are fixed and so we ask that you put down a $100 refundable deposit while we schedule a time to spay this sweetie. We will schedule, transport, and ensure she is spayed and then refund you your deposit once completed.

She is currently staying at our Heartland Facility! We are open Thursday 4 pm-7 pm, Friday 4 pm-7 pm, Saturday Noon-6 pm, and Sunday Noon-6 pm. Feel free to stop by to meet her! No appointment necessary.
