Domestic Short Hair Cats Available for Adoption in Wheeling, Illinois

Meet Rick!

Rick is a big hunk of love who is just the sweetest guy ever! He was found on Ravenswood Avenue in Chicago in the middle of March along with his best buddy Furby. They were both turned into Chicago Animal Care and Control and Heartland was so happy that we could help both of them out because they are both such friendly guys deserving of the best homes ever!

Rick is neutered, up-to-date on his FVRCP and Rabies vaccines, and he is FIV and FeLV negative.

Rick and Furby are 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 them! No appointment necessary.
