Peregrin Took - Domestic Short Hair Cat for Adoption in Wheaton, Illinois

Peregrin Took, or Pippin for short, loves to cuddle, snuggle, and play. He enjoys playing with wand toys or springs, and his siblings, but while his brothers would pass up a nap for adventure, Pippin says “no thanks, I'll stay here and take a nap with mom.” Pippin enjoys the cat tree and his heated napping mat, even in the heat of summer! He likes to watch cat TV on YouTube with his momma and brothers, because his momma Butterbomb loves to watch “her shows” and he grew up with them on in the background while he nursed. Pippin used to be a timid little guy, but once he went out with his brothers to roll along in a stroller at the 4th of July parade, he realized there was nothing to be afraid of! While he's not a fan of car travel (he has a lot of things to say while riding in the car) he was very curious out and about in a stroller!

Pippin would love to have a playmate, but he's more chill than his two brothers, and is quite content to play, and then take a nice long nap. He doesn't know what he thinks about dogs, but he played paws under the door with his foster's resident cats, and thought it was pretty fun.
