About Me:

I’m the sweet, affectionate one who likes to balance kitten chaos with plenty of cuddle time! I’m playful and curious, but I also know when it’s time to settle down for a cozy nap. I love having a buddy around and am always happiest when I have someone to follow, play with, or snuggle beside.

Intake Info:

Gelpi Retractor was one of four brothers found together by a Good Samaritan. This little litter was incredibly lucky to have the University of Illinois Surgery Club step up to sponsor them, allowing all four kittens to go directly into fostering.

Favorite Things:

Cozy blankets, chasing little toys, curling up after a busy play session, getting scratches, and keeping tabs on what everyone else is doing. I especially love having my brother nearby for spontaneous wrestling matches and kitten adventures.

Good With (other cats, dogs, kids, etc):

A friendly and easygoing kitten who would likely do well with other social cats, respectful dogs, and children who can provide gentle and appropriate interaction.

Fun Fact:

🐾 One of four brothers who were found together.

🐾 Has a serious appreciation for a good nap.

🐾 Follows his brother like a tiny shadow.

🐾 His surgical name comes with a pretty great story—and a very generous Surgery Club sponsor!

Ideal Home:

A loving home that wants both a playful kitten and a future cuddle buddy. He’d do wonderfully with his brother or another friendly cat, especially in a home with plenty of attention, toys, cozy sleeping spots, and room to explore.

Adoption Includes: Spay/neuter, age-appropriate vaccinations, microchip, deworming, and a veterinary health check.
