About Edward

Edward is the kind of kitten that turns any day into an adventure. At just a couple of months old, he’s got that lightning kit energy—into everything, bouncing from play to snuggles in a heartbeat. Expect daily bursts of curiosity and more than a little goofiness: chasing shadows, pouncing on whatever moves, and then curling up for a nap as soon as he's worn himself out. He wants people who will keep up, supply a steady stream of toys, and give plenty of attention so he doesn’t get bored—or lonely. Edward really flourishes with another kitten buddy, so those open to doubling up will find life is twice as lively and affectionate. If you do adopt him along with a friend, the adoption fee for both is $500, making it even easier to bring home a pair. He’s already neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, and prepped for his next home with some starter food and a free vet exam through a partner clinic. You’ll find Edward in South Elgin, IL, looking for the right place—and people—to grow up with. Every animal deserves a happy ending. This one starts with you.
