Domestic Short Hair Cats Available for Adoption in Chicago, Illinois

Although she's had a rough road before coming to OTAT, Muriel is a super sweet and loving girl. She's feeling much better now and is ready to find her forever home!

Ms. Muriel is a major cuddle bug, if you're sitting or laying, she'll probably want a lap seat! She might even wrap her paws around you in one of her precious little hugs, and will be sure to snuggle up when it's time for bed.

She is also very vocal! This can mean a pointed ""Mow! Mow!"" if her demands (your full attention) are not being met, but usually means she likes to narrate her life and yours with adorable little grumbles and trills, just to keep you updated on all her movements and many opinions.

Although she's an older lady, Muriel loves to play and is always up for a rousing game of feather-on-string. She may even bring the feather right to you if you're not taking the hint. She's been known to be quite the little hunter, and has a strong record of snatching the feather midair (unless it goes behind her, and she gets a little confused).

If you're looking for a lovely little lady who will greet you at the door, ready for cuddles, Muriel's your girl!
