Tennessee - Tabby and Domestic Short Hair Cat for Adoption in Chicago, Illinois

I like big CATS and I do not lie!

Meet Tennessee. A volunteer in Chicago's Lawndale neighborhood rescued this 16.4 lb boy when he suddenly appeared at a community garden. Needless to say, it was a heavy load!

Tennessee's foster reports that he "is really a wonderful kitty and soooooo cuddly!" He loves his humans. He also gets along well with other cats and his foster's medium-sized dog. Tennessee is a gentle kitty and would do well in almost any household, including with small children.

Tennessee has been neutered, vaccinated, microchipped and is parasite free. He is currently in foster in Chicago and available for adoption. PLEASE, someone take this sweet guy home and we'll talk about a reduced calorie diet. . . .

His adoption fee of $150 helps future cats get spayed/neutered. To meet Tennessee, email liz@catsinaction.org.
