Domestic Short Hair Cats Available for Adoption in Skokie, Illinois

Marie and Hank are a bonded pair and must be adopted together.

Hi, I'm Marie!

I'm the quieter half of our pair, but don't let that fool you-I've got a curious heart and I like to know everything that's going on. I may hang back at first, watching from my favorite perch on the cat tree, but if you give me a little time and a calm space, I'll come closer to investigate... and eventually to say hello.

Once I feel safe, I really enjoy gentle pets and brushing, and I'm getting braver every day. I'm not a big fan of being picked up, but I show my affection in my own softer, quieter ways. I also have a beautifully plush coat that makes me extra cozy to pet (just saying).

Hank gives me confidence, and I help keep him grounded-we balance each other perfectly. We love to play together, chase rattle mice and jingle balls, and turn anything we find into a game.

Together, we're Hank & Marie

We're a bonded pair, which means we need to be adopted together. We play together, nap near each other, and help each other feel safe and happy. Whether we're racing around the house or winding down after a long day of kitten business, we're always better as a team.

If you're ready for twice the love, a little bit of mischief, and a lot of personality, we might be your perfect match.
