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

Meet Luke! Having spent time in a couple of fantastic foster homes along the way, Luke has thrived with all the extra care, snuggles, and attention he received from his rescue caretakers. He loves using his sharp kitten senses to explore his surroundings, whether that means tracking down a stray crinkle ball or chasing sunbeams across the floor with gentle enthusiasm.

When playtime is over, Luke turns into an absolute world-class snuggler. His time in foster care has made him a true people-lover who happily settles in for cozy cuddle sessions, soaking up soft head scratches and showing his appreciation with the sweetest, steady purr. Here is what his foster family has to say about him:

"Luke is a sweet adventurous guy, with a big playful spirit and heart. He loves spending his time playing, whether it be with toys, his foster parents, or especially his brother Han. His confidence and curiosity brings out Han's more social and adventurous side, making the two of them a wonderful team. When Luke isn't running around or
exploring, he is usually ready to cuddle. One of his favorite places to sleep is nestled into someone's neck. He has been very brave
exploring his foster home and taking in his new surroundings with abundant curiosity."

Luke is up-to-date on FVRCP vaccinations.

Luke has not been 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.

Luke 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.
