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

He's chunky, he's quirky, he's Xerxes! In entering his room, you may believe you've mistakenly stepped onto the lawn of a cranky old man that's now yelling: "you noisy kids... stay off my property!" And while this king's complaints may look and sound mighty, he's actually pretty shy, a big talker, and A Total Softie. The hustle and bustle of the shelter is just no place for such a sensitive guy. Have a seat, toss a treat, kick off your shoes (please not literally), and stay a while as you get to know Xerxes. Your patience will be generously rewarded as Xerxes welcomes you in with leg rubs, body flops, purrs, and so much love! Xerxes is 11 years old and in need of stability and peace within a mature, calm household. If you've been searching for that one-of-a-kind cat with character to build a special bond with, he's ready and waiting for you!

Xerxes is spending some much needed time in foster care! Interested in adopting? Please fill out an application at this link (https://new.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/ACIL/Cat) and please specify the animal's name and ID number (if the ID number is not entered, we may mix up the animal you're interested in!)
