Domestic Short Hair Cats Available for Adoption in Chicago Ridge, Illinois

Meet Mario — your future best friend 🖤🤍

Mario is a cute and playful black and white male kitten, born around the end of December 2025. He’s full of energy and loves chasing his toys and zooming through his kitty tunnel like a little pro.

When playtime winds down, Mario shows his softer side. He enjoys sitting by the window, quietly watching birds and squirrels in his foster home, completely entertained until it’s time for a cozy nap on the closest lap.

Mario is as well-mannered as he is adorable. He uses his litter pan like a champ and knows exactly how to use his scratching post. He gets along with other cats with a slow introductory phase.

If you’re looking for a friendly, playful, and well-rounded kitten to bring joy into your home, Mario is the one for you. 🐾

Mario's Adoption fee is: $150
This includes Spay/Neuter, rabies vaccine, distemper vaccine, FELV/FIV Testing, pyrantel dewormer and microchip.
