Meet Cheeto! 

If you’re looking for a kitten with a big personality, an even bigger appetite, and a serious talent for cuddling, Cheeto is your guy!

Cheeto had a rough start, surviving a risky hernia surgery and long recovery. Although the vet believes he is overall healthy, he will need regular check ups to ensure no issues come up.

Cheeto loves to snuggle and be around his people. He’s a professional biscuit maker and has an adorable habit of sucking on soft blankets when he’s feeling extra cozy. 

And then there’s food. Cheeto LOVES food. In fact, he loves it so much that he firmly believes the best way to eat is to climb completely inside his bowl. Why eat next to your dinner when you can become one with it? 

When he’s not busy perfecting his bowl-diving technique, Cheeto enjoys chasing balls, playing with catnip, and generally having a great time. He’s also wonderfully social and does well with both cats and dogs. However, as a single kitten in his litter, he was never taught the do's and don'ts of polite play. He can be rather mouthy when he is excited. Because of this, Cheeto would do best in a home with another active playmate and no young children.  

Cheeto is the perfect combination of cuddly, silly, playful, and sweet. He’s ready to find a forever home where he can keep making biscuits, snuggling with his people, and—of course—climbing into his food bowl. 

We encourage you to consider adopting kittens in pairs!  There are several reasons why Cheeto would do well with a friend, including:

-Two kittens keep each other entertained - they will play and get all their energy out on each other in time for snuggles with you!

-Having two kittens to play with each other prevents "I'm lonely and bored" behavioral issues.

-Watching two kittens wrestle is quite possibly the cutest thing you will ever see.

-The kittens will teach each other "how to cat" and learn to be more social with humans and people.

-You'll save two lives instead of one!

Cheeto is micro-chipped, up to date on all vaccinations,

neutered

, and litter box trained.

Cheeto's adoption fee is $165.  Please note A.R.F. does not approve applications for any kitten under 6 months of age to families that live outside of Illinois and/or beyond 100 miles of Wheaton or Glen Ellyn, IL.
