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

Meet Heather

Heather is the most adventurous of her siblings. She's always the first to squeeze out the door so she can go greet the other fosters, and she does it with total confidence. She is never shy. Heather loves sitting in laps, batting at the strings on your clothes, and climbing you like a tree if you give her the chance. If you're looking for the textbook definition of a kitten, Heather is your girl.

She and her sister Jan adore each other and play beautifully together, but they do not need to be adopted as a pair. Heather is confident enough to thrive in any loving home.

Her easygoing attitude makes her a great fit for a busy, playful family. She hasn't met our dog yet, but with her bold, friendly nature she would likely warm up quickly to a gentle pup.

Heather is fun, fearless, and full of charm. She's ready to bring her big personality to a family who will enjoy every silly, sweet moment with her.
