Smoke - Domestic Short Hair Cat Available for Adoption in Chicago, Illinois

Smoke is a bold little explorer with a curious mind and a heart full of bravery. He warms up to new people quickly, greeting them with bright eyes and that “ready for adventure” energy that makes kittens so irresistible.

He’s a natural athlete — always jumping, wrestling, and chasing after his brother. Give him any small toy and he’ll turn it into a soccer ball, dribbling it across the room with impressive kitten determination. He’s also a master of creative parkour, bouncing off furniture to launch himself into new territories and proudly claiming every corner of the apartment as his own.

Despite all that high‑octane play, Smoke is wonderfully easygoing. He’s a dry‑food‑only guy who drinks plenty of water, keeps himself busy, and then happily melts into a soft spot near his people or his feline friends for long, cozy naps full of kitty dreams.

Smoke is only available for adoption into a home that already has a friendly feline companion — or you can adopt him together with his brother, Marshmallow, his favorite playmate and partner in mischief.
