Ballet - Domestic Short Hair Cat for Adoption in Chicago, Illinois

With her sleek black coat and quiet, gentle nature, Ballet is a tiny little shadow who will gracefully sneak her way into your heart. The most reserved of the three sisters, Ballet isn't one to demand attention—but once you scoop her up and start petting her, her happy purrs tell you just how much she loves being loved.

Ballet is the biggest of her litter, but don't let that fool you—she's an expert at disappearing into the best hiding spots. Her foster family often has to go searching for this little house panther, and when they find her and bring her in for cuddles, she's perfectly content to relax in a warm lap or nestle into the crook of someone's arm while soaking up pets.

Like any kitten, Ballet has a playful side that comes alive when she's with her sisters. She especially enjoys wrestling with Chacha, chasing Jitterbug through their latest adventures, and pouncing after wand toys and toy balls. Whether she's zooming around the room or curled up for a cozy nap after playtime, Ballet is happiest when she has family—both feline and human—to share her days with.

Ballet has met several new people and has done well with gentle, respectful children. She's also seen a couple of dogs and found them a bit scary, so a calm introduction would be important if her future home has canine companions. Her quiet, easygoing personality would allow her to fit into many different kinds of homes, as long as there's plenty of love and patience.

Because she's still so young, Ballet must be adopted into a home with another playful feline friend to help her continue growing, learning, and burning off all that kitten energy. She would be overjoyed to be adopted with one of her sisters, Chacha or Jitterbug, so they can continue their games, snuggles, and lifelong friendship together.

If you're looking for a sweet, gentle kitten who will happily play the day away before curling up beside you for a peaceful nap, Ballet is ready to pirouette her way into your heart and become your very own little house panther.
