Domestic Short Hair Cats Available for Adoption in Wheaton, Illinois

Handsome Hayden is an orange kitten who lives up to his name in both looks and confidence. He is extremely playful and absolutely thrives on running, wrestling, and causing kitten chaos with his siblings and step-siblings. If there is a game happening, Hayden is in the middle of it.

When he is not busy playing, Hayden is busy eating. He has a fantastic appetite and is happiest when he can enjoy a good meal and then immediately join the nearest kitten pile for a nap. Being surrounded by his friends is his comfort zone, and you will almost always find him cuddled up with someone.

Hayden was raised in a home with a 7-year-old child and a dog, which has made him very easygoing and comfortable with handling and everyday household activity. He is confident, unfazed by new situations, and truly not scared of anything.

He also happens to be the 7-year-old's favorite and was proudly named after her boyfriend, which feels very fitting for a kitten this charming and adored.
