About Osito

Meet Osito! His name means "little bear" in Spanish and he truly embodies that charm. This sweet little guy was found outdoors with his mother, Miss Midnight. A kind couple took them in, showering both with love and care until they were ready for adoption. Osito loves to play and pounce on his toys, so be prepared for hours of entertainment from his adorable kitten antics. He is up-to-date on his FVRCP vaccines, and although he hasn't been neutered yet, it’s essential for all animals to be fixed. Therefore, a $100 refundable deposit is required while we arrange for his neutering. We handle everything from scheduling to transportation, ensuring that Osito will be neutered before your deposit is refunded. Come meet Osito at our Heartland Facility in Wheeling, IL. We’re open Thursday from 4 PM-7 PM, Friday from 4 PM-7 PM, Saturday from Noon-6 PM, and Sunday from Noon-6 PM. No appointment is necessary—just drop by! Ready to fall in love?
