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

Tiny in size, but big in personality... that’s Lucien! This adorable orange-and-white boy is a playful little goofball who has a very special talent- making his humans laugh. His favorite move is flopping onto his back and rolling around like he simply cannot contain all his happiness.

Lucien may be small, but he has a big purr and an even bigger heart. He absolutely adores his foster brother, Steve, and the two can often be found cuddled up together. When he’s not snuggling with Steve, Lucien loves sitting in a lap, being held, or curling up with his favorite humans.

He’s also a curious little guy who enjoys watching the world go by from the window. Whether he’s chasing toys, rolling around on his back, gazing out the window, or purring away in your lap, Lucien is happiest when he’s surrounded by his humans and feline friends. Lucien was born June 1, 2026.

Please tell us a bit about your situation, what you are looking for, the composition of your current household (the other humans and/or pets who already live there).
