Domestic Long Hair Cats Available for Adoption in Wheeling, Illinois

Meet Melo!

Meet Melo, a handsome medium-haired white and orange gentleman with a heart as warm as his sunny coat. This charming boy is equal parts affectionate companion and curious adventurer, always ready to greet his favorite people with soft purrs and a friendly hello.

Melo's favorite thing in the world is spending time with his best friend, Gucci. The two share a special bond and can often be found lounging together, grooming one another, or keeping each other company during afternoon naps. Because of their close friendship, Melo would love a home where he and Gucci can continue their adventures side by side.

Sweet, social, and undeniably handsome, Melo brings comfort, companionship, and plenty of feline charm wherever he goes. If you're looking for a loving pair to fill your home with affection, Melo and Gucci may be the perfect match.

Melo is neutered, up-to-date on his FVRCP and Rabies vaccines, and he is FIV and FeLV negative.

He 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 him! No appointment necessary.
