Gia - Domestic Short Hair Cat for Adoption in Skokie, Illinois

Gia and Mia are a bonded pair and must be adopted together.

Hi, I'm Gia!

I'm a sweet, playful little girl with a gentle heart. I can be a bit shy when I first meet new people, but give me a little time and you'll discover that I'm a wonderful cuddle buddy. My favorite routine is simple: play hard first, then climb into your lap when I'm tired for pets and snuggles.

My sister Mia is usually the first one to greet everyone, while I like to make sure everything checks out before joining in. Once I know you're a friend, I'm happy to relax beside you and enjoy lots of affection. I may not be quite as clingy as Mia, but I love being close to my people.

Playtime is serious business! I love tunnels, ball tracks, crinkle toys, kitty wrestling with Mia, and pretty much any toy that rolls, bounces, or crinkles. After all that fun, you'll usually find me stretched out nearby, happily soaking up pets.

One of the coolest things about me is my beautiful black coat. When the light shines just right, you'll see subtle charcoal stripes hidden in my fur. It's like I'm carrying a secret tabby pattern that appears like magic!

Mia and I are very bonded and are looking for a home together. She gives me confidence, I help keep her company, and together we make an amazing team. Whether we're chasing toys, wrestling, or cuddling with our people, life is simply better when we're together.

I'm litter box trained, use both clumping and regular clay litter, and enjoy sisal, carpeted, and vertical scratching posts. Like most kittens, I'd happily skip nail trims if I had the choice!

If you're ready to welcome two loving sisters into your home, Mia and I promise to fill it with laughter, playtime, purrs, and twice the love.
