Butters

My story

Meet Butters! A captivating eight-year-old Domestic Short Hair currently living in Bolingbrook, IL, whose small frame is matched only by her enormous personality and expressive brown tabby stripes. Butters is the epitome of a cozy companion cat—charming, vocal, and delightfully quirky! She’s spent most of her days in the comfort of indoor life, with her favorite adventures being supervised porch visits where she breathes in the fresh air and chats animatedly with the local birds and squirrels. Her love for window-gazing is unmatched, especially when there’s a feathered friend fluttering by! This petite lady weighs in at just seven pounds, but don’t let her size fool you—Butters is packed with sass, smarts, and affection. She adores calm, older adults and would flourish in a peaceful home without large dogs, who tend to make her a bit anxious. Calm, gentle children who understand boundaries could be a lovely match for her tender spirit. A relaxed environment with a kindhearted pet parent who understands the value of patience and soft words would be just her style. Butters is a devoted cuddler who will happily curl up on your chest while purring contentedly. She responds when called, enjoys being picked up, and shows her love with endless head rubs and affectionate chatter! She’s also a certified toy enthusiast—especially fond of feathers on sticks, squeaky moving toys, and batting her paws under door cracks. Oh, and toilet paper? Consider it fair game in her eyes! Like many sensitive souls, Butters needs a calm setting to feel her best. Big dog energy has stressed her in the past, leading to some litter box misadventures, but she’s spayed, microchipped, vaccinated, and fully litter-trained under the right conditions. She's not a fan of back, belly, or rump rubs—and isn’t shy about swiping gently to remind you—but it’s all part of her sassy charm! If you’re looking for a talkative, playful, and deeply loyal companion who will thrive with your love and patience, Butters might just be your girl! Could your quiet window seat be the next stage for this delightful tabby diva’s cozy adventures? Butters is also open to a foster home, so if you're not ready to adopt but still want to make a difference, fostering could be a perfect fit.
