Anastasia is a lovely 2-year-old white and buff shorthair who’s learning that the world isn’t such a scary place after all. When she first arrived at the APL, she was very nervous and unsure — everything was new and overwhelming. But with gentle care and patience, Anastasia is beginning to come out of her shell and show her sweet, tender side.
She’s still a little shy, so she appreciates people who move slowly and speak softly around her. Once she knows you mean no harm, she relaxes and enjoys quiet company and gentle pets. Watching her confidence grow day by day has been so rewarding — she just needs someone special to keep helping her along that journey.
If you have a calm home and a kind heart, Anastasia will blossom into a loving and loyal friend. 💕
Come meet her at the Animal Protective League located at 1001 Taintor Road in Springfield. We are open every day from noon to 5 p.m.

More about this shelter
For over 60 years, the Animal Protective League has been the voice for animals in Springfield and Sangamon County. APL operates a limited admission animal shelter and a high-volume, low-cost spay/neuter clinic along with comprehensive animal-welfare programs. APL is a private, not-for-profit organization and operates primarily by donations.
APL's limited admission animal shelter prioritizes intake by sick, injured, abused and abandoned dogs and cats. APL strives to match animals with carefully screened, loving, permanent owners. All animals leave our shelter spayed or neutered, microchipped, and with all age appropriate vaccinations. Over 2000 deserving dogs and cats are placed in homes every year! APL also has an active group of foster families who provide interim homes until space is available at our shelter.
APL's Spay/neuter clinic performs over 12,000 spay/neuter surgeries every year. In addition to the public, we work with other animal shelters, animal control agencies and animal welfare groups within a 30-mile radius of Springfield. Our free transport system picks up animals from various locations and transports them to our facility for surgery and then returns the animals the following day. This allows many other organizations to have access to low-cost spay/neuter services for their own animals as well as animals in their communities. We currently work with 31 partners in 18 surrounding counties.
