British Shorthair kittens & cats in Roscoe, Illinois

Wheat is a British Shorthair gentleman who came to us all the way from Kuwait—and you’d never guess he’d just endured a long journey. The moment he stepped out of his carrier, he was completely at home. Litter box? Check. Meal? Gone. Affection? Immediately requested… and enthusiastically enjoyed. Wheat didn’t miss a beat as he rolled around in pure happiness, soaking up pets and attention like it’s his favorite pastime. He’s the kind of cat who seems genuinely delighted just to be here—curious, content, and full of quiet joy. A sweet boy who knows he’s safe now and is more than ready to return that love tenfold. Wheat is FIV+ which just means his immune system may be a little lower, so if he gets a cold, it should be treated right away instead of seeing if it can run its own course. It is often recommended that FIV+ cats see the vet every 6 months instead of every 12. FIV is passed through deep bite wounds, so Wheat can safely live with other cats who are negative for FIV provided they are cat friendly also.

I have had Andi since she was a kitten. She is a well behaved cat and loves all the attention. She would do better in a single pet household. She has been with me for 11 years and has lived along side her mom as well but I moved into a new house a year ago with my boyfriend and we got a dog shortly after we moved. I knew that she was not fond of dogs but we got a puppy thinking they would adapt better that way. Since the move she has not been getting along with my other cat and she has not adjusted to the dog either. She has been going to the bathroom outside of the litter box for a while now and I feel like I have tried everything to help her and get her to stop. So I think she would be happier and do better in a new home with no other pets. She definitely loves all the attention she can get and loves to snuggle. She just doesn’t like other pets any longer and gets jealous and she does good with children but gets skittish around them and new people. But she has never been aggressive.
