Domestic Short Hair Cats Available for Adoption in Wheaton, Illinois

Meet Butcher!

My name is Butcher and I am 5 months old. I'm a playful and cuddly kitten with a big personality. I love chasing toys, playing with my siblings, and having fun adventures around the house.

One thing everyone notices about me is my extra-long tail—it's pretty impressive and makes me even more unique! When I'm done playing, I'm always happy to curl up for cuddles and spend time with my people.

If you're looking for a sweet, playful kitten with lots of love (and a very long tail) to give, I might be the perfect match for you!
