Domestic Short Hair Cats Available for Adoption in Wheeling, Illinois

Katniss is the main character, and she absolutely knows it. She almost looks like a doll, sitting up proper and peering into you with her big eyes. She loves to flop over and beg for belly rubs. During meal times, in between every few bites, she likes to get some love from her people, so she would love if you stay near her while she eats. She wants cuddles, and she will get them whether you like it or not (which can sometimes mean crawling up your back when you're not paying attention). This little girl will absolutely steal your heart...and all of your attention.

Katniss is up-to-date on age-appropriate vaccines and dewormings.

She has not been SPAYED/NEUTERED 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.

Katniss is currently staying onsite at our Heartland Facility! Stop by during our open hours on Thursday 4pm-7pm, Friday 4pm-7pm, Saturday Noon-6pm or Sunday Noon-6pm to meet them! No appointment necessary.
