Alpha is a 10-week-old boy who has perfected the art of "play hard, nap harder." He is incredibly social and curious, often following his siblings around to see what’s going on. Once he’s tired himself out from exploring, he turns into a professional cuddler, happiest when curled up in a warm lap. He often comes to his foster parents and simply falls over to his back ,waiting to have his tummy rubbed! Alpha definitely needs to go home with one of his siblings, Sirius, Polaris, Vegas, Betelgeuse or Centauri. Alpha also loves playing with the "Sports "kittens!

He is gentle, playful, and ready to bring a lot of joy and love to his new family.

We encourage you to consider adopting kittens in pairs! There are several reasons why
Alpha
would do good with a friend, including:

-Two kittens keep each other entertained - they will play and get all their energy out on each other in time for snuggles with you!

-Having two kittens to play with each other prevents "I'm lonely and bored" behavioral issues.

-Watching two kittens wrestle is quite possibly the cutest thing you will ever see.

-The kittens will teach each other "how to cat" and learn to be more social with humans and people.

-You'll save two lives instead of one!

Alpha
is microchipped, up to date on all vaccinations,
neutered
, and litter box trained.

Alpha
's adoption fee is $165. Please note A.R.F. does not approve applications for any kitten under 6 months of age to families that live outside of Illinois and/or beyond 100 miles of Wheaton or Glen Ellyn, IL.
