Santino - Domestic Short Hair and Tabby Cat for Adoption in Chicago, Illinois

Meet Santino, a striking young male kitten with unique classic tabby markings that make him truly one-of-a-kind. At four months old, this handsome boy is still discovering the world around him and learning that people can be trustworthy friends. Santino is a little shy when you first meet him, taking a moment to assess the situation and decide if you're friend or foe. But don't let his initial reserve discourage you—this sweet boy just needs a minute to get comfortable, and then his true personality shines through. Once Santino realizes you mean well, he transforms into a little purr machine, rewarding your patience with the sweetest rumbling purrs and genuine affection.

He's the kind of kitten who will melt your heart as you watch him go from cautious to cuddly right before your eyes. There's something especially rewarding about earning the trust of a shy kitten and witnessing that beautiful moment when he decides you're someone worth loving. Santino's unique markings and sweet temperament make him a special boy, and for someone willing to give him just a little time to warm up, he'll become a devoted and loving companion who purrs his gratitude every single day.

Note: This kitten must be adopted with another cat / kitten or have a friendly resident cat / kitten in the home.

Santino is a male classic black/brown tabby who is about 4 months old as of August. He is fixed, up-to-date on vaccinations, dewormed, FIV/FELV negative, and microchipped.

Santino is being cared for by our rescue, but would like family of his own. His adoption fee of $125 will benefit other CPR rescue animals.
