Fraxinus - Domestic Short Hair Cat for Adoption in Wheeling, Illinois

Meet Fraxinus!

Fraxinus and her siblings came to Heartland by one of our veterinarian's after they were found alone outside. They then went to a wonderful foster home where they've grown bigger and are ready for their own loving homes! Here is what their foster mom has to say about Fraxinus:

"Fraxinus (Frax) is a beautiful pastel tabby kitten. Her coat is both beautiful and so silky. When she first arrived at her foster home Frax was shy and scared of human contact. She slowly started learning to trust people and now loves to be petted or sit on her foster mom's lap. She has an awesome purr! She has always been playful and happy with her littermates. Frax is always eager to chase toys and tumble with her kitty friends. She seems to especially enjoy wrestling with and grooming Nissa. She is still quite watchful, and it seems that she learned to trust people by seeing her littermates get lots of positive love and attention. Having another cat (or kitten) in the house would be good for Frax . Once you earn Frax's love, she will love you right back with all of her heart. She would benefit from patient humans who understand how to slowly earn her trust. When you do, Frax will fill you with joy!"

Fraxinus is up-to-date on her FVRCP vaccinations.

Fraxinus has not been spayed yet but it is important to us that all of our animals are fixed and so we ask that you put down a $100 refundable deposit while we schedule a time for their surgery. We will schedule, transport, and ensure surgery and then refund you your deposit once completed.

Fraxinus is currently staying at our Heartland Facility! We are open Thursday 4 pm-7 pm, Friday 4 pm-7 pm, Saturday Noon-6 pm, and Sunday Noon-6 pm. Feel free to stop by to meet her! No appointment necessary.
