About Ladybug

Meet Ladybug! This adorable little tortie girl is as sweet and charming as her name implies. With her striking patches of black, orange, and cream, she’s a true work of art. Not just a pretty face, Ladybug has ample personality with just enough "tortitude" to keep things interesting. An adventurous explorer, she delights in pouncing on toy mice, chasing ribbon wands, and scaling cat trees. Once she's expended her kitten energy, Ladbug transforms into a total cuddle bug, often curling up on your chest to let you know she’s found her favorite place. Ladybug thrives in a home with adults, respectful children, or other friendly pets. As a young and playful spirit, she'd particularly enjoy a feline buddy to frolic with. Indoor living suits her best, providing safe spaces to explore, play, and soak up sunny spots. Ladybug is currently staying onsite at our Heartland Facility in Wheeling, IL. Stop by during open hours to meet her; no appointment is needed. How about adding a bit of luck to your life and making Ladybug part of your family? What are you waiting for? Apply today!
