My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.

If you're working for home or just playing it safe by practicing social distancing, now is a perfect time to bring a new furry family member into the fold. Email us any questions about any cats we have and we will be happy to provide any additional information you may need. If you are approved for adoption, we are now doing curbside adoptions in order to minimize contact.



Edith is about 9 years old as of December 2023.  Edith was adopted as a kitten and returned to our rescue at 9 years old through no fault of her own.  Out of 4 cats in the home, she was asked to leave and not a bid of it made sense!  We adopted her out a few months after her initial return to an elderly lady who had recently lost her baby of 15 years.  The adoption was contingent upon the granddaughter's promise to care for Edith in the event that Grandma could not.  Guess what?  That promise was not honored and Edith is now back with us.  While we are happy she is safe here, she needs stability and love without being bounced around.  Imagine losing all you knew and had after 9 years only to have a few months of love and stability before becoming confused again!  Edith is a beautiful girl, she's shy and will need a home with patience who will give her time to adjust from all she has experienced.  She has lived with other cats and will make a fine addition to the right home.  Adopt her today!

  • We also have a kitten special - adopt 2 available kittens (1 year & under) for $125

While we try to keep our animal listings up-to-date online, sometimes the age range may be labelled incorrectly. Please don't hesitate to contact us for the most up-to-date information on a particular cat.  Our cats are shown by appointment - we are a foster based rescue and so we don't have a location with set hours.

If you are interested in adopting or would like to meet our cats, please fill out our adoption application online at www.safehousepets.org/info/adoption and a volunteer will contact you promptly.

Go meet their pets

Safe House is based in Bureau County, IL. Our pets live in foster homes so pets are shown by appointment only, but our volunteers will meet you any time of day or night to introduce you to the pet of your dreams. We also partner with our local Petsmart for adoption events.

More about this rescue

For the homeless, abused, or neglected animals of the Illinois Valley area, Safe House is a beacon of hope, a place for second chances, a warm spot to rest tired heads, to heal wounds and start anew.

Safe House Animal Rescue League is a 501(c)3 (nonprofit) organization run exclusively by dedicated volunteers. We are implementing innovative and progressive life-saving programs throughout central Illinois that pave the way for No-Kill communities where no pets are killed simply for being homeless.

We focus on rescuing pets who are at the greatest risk of being killed in shelters or animal control facilities and have saved hundreds of lives through our adoption programs. Safe House is a foster home based rescue where all of our pets live in home environments with real families until they are adopted. This prepares them for a successful transition to your home and allows us to know each pet as an individual.

Please get involved and help us save more lives – volunteer, foster, donate.
