Domestic Short Hair Cats Available for Adoption in Wheaton, Illinois

Meet Willow — or “Will” for short — named after the beloved Stranger Things character, and just as brave and lovable. Willow is the cutest little kitten with a huge personality and an adventurous spirit. She was the very first of her siblings to start exploring, always leading the way with confidence and curiosity.

This playful girl loves climbing to the highest perch she can find so she can keep an eye on everything around her. Scratching posts are one of her favorite things, and she never says no to a Churu treat. When playtime is over, Willow turns into the sweetest cuddle bug — she absolutely loves being held like a baby and will happily fall asleep right in your arms.

Because Willow is so social and playful, she would do best going home with another kitty friend or into a home that already has a friendly cat companion waiting for her.
