Domestic Short Hair Cats Available for Adoption

Meet Eileen!

If you love a cat with personality, presence, and just the right amount of attitude, Eileen is your girl. This sassy, spicy, spunky lady has opinions about everything — and she's not shy about sharing them. She adores her humans and happily soaks up attention... especially at the exact moment you seem busy doing something else.

Eileen is wonderfully independent and doesn't need to be glued to your side, but she absolutely enjoys knowing you're nearby and available when she decides it's time for pets or conversation.

One important detail: Eileen prefers to be the one and only animal in your life. She is simply not interested in forming friendships with other cats, dogs, or anything else with fur. People are her chosen species, thank you very much.

If you're looking for a confident, charismatic companion with charm and a little extra fire, Eileen will keep you entertained, loved, and on your toes.

Come and meet me @ Elmhurst Petco (199 S. Rt 83, Elmhurst, IL) Pro Tip: Submit an application beforehand for a seamless adoption process!
