Domestic Short Hair Cats Available for Adoption in Wheaton, Illinois

Elsa was a fantastic mom at raising 6 beautiful healthy kittens but after raising her babies, she is ready to find her forever home to share all of her love!

When she wants your attention, she will follow you like your shadow and give sweet meows until she gets your attention for some pets. She loves to plop down on the couch next to people and get all the love she deserves!

The only thing Elsa might love more than pets though is the sound of her food bowl being filled as she's a sucker for some good food and loves when people visit and give her treats! Elsa is extremely patient with her kittens and has remained unphased by her kittens constantly chasing and eating her tail or trying to wrestle her when she sleeps!
