Domestic Short Hair Cats Available for Adoption

Herme is a handsome brown tabby and white boy, about 2 years old, with striking markings — white from his chin down his belly, four little white socks, and an adorable white spot right between his beautiful eyes. He's an affectionate, gentle guy who loves to give enthusiastic head bunts and soak up attention from his people.

Herme was originally adopted as a kitten from Sangamon County Animal Control and, through no fault of his own, recently found his way back into shelter care. He's now with us and ready for a fresh start. We were told he may prefer to be the only cat, but since arriving, Herme has been calm and nonreactive to nearby cats, so a thoughtful introduction may be possible. Most of all, he's a sweet, loving companion who's ready to find a home where he can stay for good.

Come and meet me @ Glen Ellyn Pet Supplies Plus (299 Roosevelt Rd, Glen Ellyn, IL) Pro Tip: Submit an application beforehand for a seamless adoption process!
