About Niko

Niko is a playful and affectionate long-haired brown tabby kitten, about 7 months old. He came to the Sangamon County Animal Control Center as an unchipped stray and has quickly captured hearts with his social and sweet personality. Niko is eager for companionship and would thrive with a feline sibling to snuggle and play with. His long coat requires regular grooming, but it’s worth it to keep him looking fabulous. Right now, Niko is feeling bored and lonely in his shelter cage, so he’s ready to find a loving home where he can be the vibrant, engaging kitty he was meant to be. He is neutered, microchipped, and up-to-date on vaccinations, testing negative for Feline Immunodeficiency Virus (FIV) and Feline Leukemia Virus (FeLV). His adoption fee is currently just $35! Remember, adopting a kitten is best done in pairs, so think about bringing home two fur babies for double the fun! Ready to meet Niko? Click apply to start the adoption process.
