Frankie

Meet Frankie – the buff-colored kitten with big eyes who's here to tell you that lap time isn't optional, it's mandatory. This guy turns into jello the moment he settles in for a snuggle, though he's equally happy wrestling and chasing toys around the house. Frankie loves string toys, the cat tower, and your wiggling fingers, but he's easy to distract from playtime if you offer cuddles instead. He's an extrovert who gets along with everyone he meets, so he'll need a home with another cat who can match his energy for play and his enthusiasm for friendship. His gentle nature wins over every cat and human he encounters. Fair warning: Frankie has two hobbies that some might call "bad habits" – he loves being on your keyboard and investigating your plants. But with a face like his, you'll probably forgive him. Frankie was born May, 2025.<br/><br/>If you live in Chicago and are interested in learning more about Frankie, please contact Toni McNaughton at tonimcn@rcn.com and Lisa Ward at catladychicago@yahoo.com. Please tell us a bit about your situation, what you are looking for, the composition of your current household (the other humans and/or pets who already live there). Inquires with these questions answered are responded to promptly.<br/><br/>We are always in need of foster homes. If you are not able to adopt, but are interested in fostering or know someone who might be, we would love to hear from you!
