Caprese - Domestic Long Hair Cat for Adoption in Wheaton, Illinois

Hi, I'm Caprese, but I also answer to “Güero”

I'm a beautiful little mini lion with long, fluffy fur and striking green eyes. I'll be honest, I can be a bit shy at first, and loud noises can scare me when I don't know you yet. But if you give me time and earn my trust with patience, I will become your little shadow.

Once I feel safe, I absolutely love being close to my person. I'll give you sweet “massages” with my paws and happily sit in front of you just to keep you company.

Important facts about me:

Personality: Calm, gentle, and very cuddly once I trust you. I also do well with other cats and enjoy having feline friends.

Care: My gorgeous long fur does need regular brushing to keep it soft and tangle free, plus routine nail trims to keep me comfortable.
