Moonchild - Domestic Short Hair Cat for Adoption in Oak Park, Illinois

Meet Moonchild!

While this kitten likes to pretend he's all mysterious and mystical, Moonchild truly wants nothing more than a lap to make biscuits in, and plenty of toys to play with! He had a rough start after being terrified, running through traffic. But he made it clear to staff and volunteers that he was not made for shelter life. The second he went to a foster home, his true personality started showing through. Within a few days, he was purring louder than anyone thought possible and became a biscuit factory. He gets the silliest zoomies that have resulted in him getting into lots of adorable mischief. Moonchild would adore having a playmate to bounce around with, and would do best in a quieter home without small children, as sudden movements and sounds can still scare him a bit. Once this kitty knows you're a friend, he will never want to leave your side (except for his necessary silly time!)

Weight: 5.4 lbs (and growing!)

Spayed/Neutered: Yes!

Up to date on vaccines: Yes!

Microchipped: Yes!

Litter trained: Yes! Moonchild has never had an accident while in his foster home or the shelter!

Cat sociability: Great with other cats! Although he has had limited access to other cats, Moonchild has always been curious about potential friends, and would thrive with a confident cat in the home to teach him more about being a cat!

Dog sociability: Unknown, Moonchild has not met a dog while in our care.

Kid sociability: No thanks! Moonchild would not thrive in a home with small children.

Likes: Lap time, tube treats, crunchy treats, his little milk carton shaped house, splashing in the water, and TOYS!!!!

Dislikes: Rushing into new relationships
