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

This sweet kitten is neutered and healthy! He is up to date on vaccines. He is still receiving the core kitten vaccine series and will need additional vaccines after adoption to reach full immunization. He is also microchipped!


Litter Box Trained: Has excellent litter box habits


Cat-friendly: Has spent time with other cats and likes to play with them!


Dog-friendly: Has not been tested with dogs, so his compatibility is unknown. We would recommend a slow introduction with a way to separate the home for each pet.


Kid-friendly: Unknown, but likely would do great with respectful kids!


Meet Lionel! This sweet little guy may be the shyest of his litter, but don't let that fool you. Once he trusts you, he's an absolute lovebug. Lionel just needs a little patience while he settles in, and he'll reward you with endless purrs, cuddles, and even sweet little kisses on your face and hands.

When he's not snuggled up in your arms, Lionel is all about playtime. Feather wands, squeaky mouse toys, and just about anything that moves are guaranteed to bring out his playful side.

If you're looking for a gentle, affectionate kitten who blossoms into the sweetest companion, Lionel is your guy.

Kittens 6 months of age and younger must be adopted with another kitten or into a home with a resident cat so that they can continue socialization and learning good habits!

Lionel's adoption fee is $150, and this kitten can't wait to meet you!
