About Nigel

Nigel is a playful little guy who certainly adds some mischief to the household. His favorite pastime? Riding around on the Roomba, much to his foster mom's amusement. He’s not just a troublemaker; he’s also quite intelligent, knowing his name well enough that he often finds himself in friendly trouble. This charming British Longhair enjoys the company of other young cats and will thrive in a busy home with an active playmate. He gets along great with dogs too, sharing his space with two small breeds. His beautiful long fur does require daily grooming, including brushing a few times a week and a washcloth bath for his face. We're looking for adopters with previous cat experience since Nigel deserves a knowledgeable and loving home. Adoption is limited to those living within 60 miles of Vernon Hills, Illinois.
