Cherry

My story

Cherry (about 6 months old as of 9/16/2025) is a spayed female brown tabby and white shorthaired kitten. Cherry was born on 3.14 or "Pi Day", to a friendly stray cat 2 days after she was brought into Waukegan Animal Control who saw she was very pregnant and got her settled into a foster home. Cherry's mom and siblings have all since been adopted except for her sister Rhubarb, her best friend in the whole world! The two of them love to cuddle each other, work together to smother their humans with their cuddles, and chase each other around wrestling like absolute maniacs. They're both very chatty and social if a little shy at first with new people or new places. Cherry in particular is adventurous and loves to clumsily explore and check out new things. At home they are super playful and like almost any cat toys, especially anything dangly! All that play works up an appetite, So Cherry will tell you if you've forgotten her mealtime! They get along well with other cats and would make great little sisters, though their kitten antics might be a bit much for a senior cat used to peace and quiet. They haven't lived with dogs but have spent a lot of time at the pet store and are young enough that given a slow introduction a calm, cat friendly dog might work for them. They would be endless entertainment for kids but might do better with older kids that can give them a little space as they get to know each other. kp
