Barnacle - Domestic Short Hair Cat for Adoption in Wheaton, Illinois

I am a small void, and I am here to screech for snacks. They call me Barnacle, and I am 90% fluff, 10% attitude. I love exploring, hiding in dark corners, and surprising you when you least expect it. My hobbies include fighting imaginary ghosts, chasing my own tail, and demanding food like I haven't eaten in weeks.

If you want a tiny shadow who will make you laugh every single day, adopt me!
