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

Reina

Some cats are royalty. Reina is the royalty. What started as a joke has become an official (unofficial) designation around here: Queen Bee Status. As confident as she is glamorous, Reina knows her worth and isn't afraid to show it. She is the Queen of the Lounge, a 3 time cat show champion, and a shelter celebrity who has earned a devoted fan club along the way. She even has her own T-Shirt.

Reina has strong boundaries and refuses to let anyone disrespect them. She confidently appoints herself the supurrvisor of any task currently taking place. She is completely unbothered and naps wherever she pleases. And, of course, she possesses a world-class Resting Cat Face.


Reina is still waiting for her forever home, in part because she is a yellow bandana girl. The yellow bandana lets visitors know that she appreciates a little extra space and prefers introductions on her terms. While that can sometimes cause people to overlook her, the cat-savvy folks who understand feline body language know there's a wonderful cat beneath all that queen energy.

Reina isn't looking for subjects. She's looking for someone who respects her boundaries, appreciates her sass, and understands that trust is earned. For the lucky person who gives her that chance, they'll discover a loyal companion behind that famous RBF.

If you're looking for a cat with beauty, personality, confidence, and just the right amount of diva energy, Reina is ready to rule your heart and your home.
