More about Niels

Niels brings all the boy cat energy.  He runs, he jumps, he rolls, he pronks, he calls 'parkour' and then lather, rinse, repeat.  He plays chase with our cat Dora - he plays until he cannot play anymore.  And then he finds a high perch on which to sleep - with one eye open. His short, black coat has one tiny bit of white (on his chest). His eyes are golden and piercing. Niels can be shy and may need time to adjust to his new people.   Adopting two kittens offers significant benefits: they entertain and stimulate each other, reducing boredom and destructive behavior, and learn crucial social skills like bite inhibition from play, making them better-adjusted adults. Two kittens provide mutual comfort easing their transition to a new home and preventing loneliness, while often being less work for owners as they keep each other busy, directed play, and even help with house training.  We encourage you to consider adopting kittens in pairs!  There are several reasons why Niels 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! Niels is micro chipped, up to date on all vaccinations, neutered, and litter box trained.   Niels' 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.   If you are interested in meeting Niels, please fill out our online kitten adoption application at https://www.arf-il.org/adopt/application/ today!
