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

Meet Xulane, lovingly nicknamed ZuZu — and quite possibly the most special kitten you will ever meet.

ZuZu started life as the runt of his litter, but from the very beginning, this tiny boy had an enormous will to live. He refused to give up, and with time, love, and care, he has flourished into the most amazing little kitten. Now, he is sweet, affectionate, confident, and absolutely overflowing with love.

ZuZu is the definition of a needy, snuggly baby in the very best way. He has the loudest little motor and loves to pace happily on your chest while rubbing his face all over yours. If you stop petting him before he is ready, he will politely but persistently shove his head under your hand or arm to remind you that your job is not done yet.

As if his personality were not perfect enough, ZuZu is also polydactyl, which means he has extra toes and the cutest little mitten paws. He adores everyone he meets — kittens, cats, dogs, and humans both big and small. He is social, loving, gentle, and never seems to run out of affection to give.

ZuZu would be a dream companion for a family looking for a deeply loving, interactive kitten who wants to be close, be held, be adored, and give all that love right back. He is a tiny survivor with a huge heart, and he is ready to spend the rest of his life being someone's beloved best friend. He really really wants to be adopted with one of his current besties from his foster home (they all have Contraception brand names or Toyota model names) but he says not too worry, he will still have more than enough love for you too!
