Domestic Short Hair Cats Available for Adoption in Wheeling, Illinois

Meet Ming!


Meet Ming

Ming is a beautiful black kitten with a gentle, sensitive soul. He and his siblings came from animal control, and while they're all making great progress, Ming is the shyest of the bunch and will need a little extra time to feel safe in a new home.

Don't let his quiet nature fool you, Ming loves to play and absolutely enjoys roughhousing with his siblings. His favorite toy is a wand toy, and that's the perfect way to connect with him and build his confidence at his own pace.

Ming would do best in a home with another friendly young cat or adopted with one of his siblings, so he can continue to learn and feel secure. With a little patience and a lot of love, Ming will blossom into a wonderful companion.

He's also a great eater and is already showing all the signs of a happy, playful kitten just waiting for his person

He is up-to-date on his FVRCP vaccines.

Ming 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 to neuter this sweetie. We will schedule, transport and ensure he is neutered and then refund you your deposit once completed.

He 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 him! No appointment necessary.
