Domestic Short Hair Cats Available for Adoption in Wheaton, Illinois

Tedesco is a cheeky little kitten with absolutely gorgeous markings. He is always purring. You look at him? He purrs. You pick him up? He purrs. You tell him to stop chewing on his brother's ear? He purrs. He purrs when he plays, when he sleeps, and even when he gets his vaccines. This happy little guy absolutely loves getting into mischief, wrestling with his siblings, and carrying his favorite spring around in his mouth. He'll hop up on your lap, give you a few kisses, then bolt out to play with his siblings before rinsing and repeating until he's passed out in his bed. He is a high energy lovebug that does well with other cats and his little dog foster sibling, and would do best with another kitten or high energy adult cat. Come meet this plush little baby today!
