Domestic Short Hair Cats Available for Adoption in Wheaton, Illinois

Zebra Cake is a petite brown tabby with a whole lot of love packed into a little body. She adores people and, once she has settled in, is more than happy to curl up in a lap for some quality cuddle time. She shares a strong bond with her siblings and enjoys their company, from active play sessions to cozy snoozes side by side. Zebra Cake has also met a dog and did well, and with a slow, thoughtful introduction, she would likely warm up to a canine companion.

Zebra Cake has a very playful side, and that sometimes comes with a bit of gentle nibbling when she gets excited. One of her absolute favorite things in the world is tunnels. If there is a tunnel nearby, expect to see her zooming through it, hiding inside it, or waiting to ambush her siblings from within. She also sports a uniquely adorable “smudged lip liner” look that hints at her wild, chaotic side and makes her even more unforgettable.

If you are looking to adopt a pair, Zebra Cake gets along famously with all of the “Cake” kitties and would love to go home with one of them. With her loving nature, playful energy, and lapcat potential, she will thrive in a home that appreciates both her sweet and silly sides and can provide plenty of playtime, enrichment, and cozy places to relax.
