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

Meet Eric.

If you've been dreaming of a true lap cat, Eric is your guy. He's incredibly affectionate and loves nothing more than curling up close, settling in for long snuggles, and soaking up every bit of attention you offer. He's gentle, sweet, and happiest when he's tucked right against his favorite person.

Eric also has a fun, playful side. His beloved lamb chop toy is his pride and joy, and he'll happily bat it around, carry it from room to room, or show it off like a trophy. Once he's done playing, he's right back in your lap, ready to purr himself to sleep.

He's the perfect mix of soft, cuddly sweetness and lighthearted fun.
