Domestic Short Hair Cats Available for Adoption in Wheeling, Illinois

Meet Kitty Hawk!

With a name like Kitty Hawk, you'd expect a bit of a bold spirit-and he certainly delivers! This mostly-white charmer is the "point man" of the *bonded* pair. If there is a new toy to investigate or an open door to peek through, Kitty Hawk is on the scene first.

While he's the braver of the two, Kitty Hawk is a total softie at heart. He loves human interaction and will happily trot over to greet you for some well-deserved pets. He takes his job as Tiny's "big brother" seriously, often checking back to make sure his orange companion is feeling brave enough to join the fun. If you're looking for a cat who is equal parts adventurous and affectionate, Kitty Hawk is your guy.

Personality: Confident, outgoing, and deeply loyal.

Favorite Things: Exploring high perches, greeting visitors, and nap-time cuddles.

Ideal Home: Anywhere with plenty of love to give (and room for his best friend, Tiny).

Kitty Hawk is neutered, up-to-date on FVRCP and Rabies vaccinations, and FIV and FeLV negative.

Kitty Hawk 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 him! No appointment necessary
