LONG TERM RESIDENT
Update 12-27-2025.
C.J is a 5-1/2-6-year-old male and has been here since he was a baby. He's very much an old man in his personality. He is quiet, reserved, observing, and never pushy. He's very easy to have around, naps a lot, loves soft blankets, he is a good boy and needs a chance. He's not a hider, but he is also not the greeter. He is very accepting with any and all cats that join the room, staying out of their way if they are hissy. And because he is so low key, he goes unnoticed. He's handsome, petite, he's neutered, microchipped, and up to date on vaccinations. He isn't one to be carried around, but once he's comfortable with you he will come around and accept the pets and treats.
Please email citizensanimalrescue@gmail.com for an application and contact Connie 217-799-8858 with any questions. We are located at 609 East 5th Street Tilton IL 61833.

More about this rescue
Building compassionate communities in East Central Illinois and West Central Indiana is a vitally compelling mission of CARA. We are committed to ending the unnecessary killing of healthy adoptable cats and dogs by providing a safe haven dedicated to the humane treatment of, and compassion for rescued, abandoned and abused animals surrendered to us. Animals in our care, our guests, are never killed. Our guest’s length of stay with us is not determined by a predefined amount of time and are cared for all their natural life. CARA’s ability to take in more guests is determined by our adoptions. As pets are adopted and space opens up, we will take in more. We are dedicated to supporting the health and well-being of our guests by ensuring each one is examined, vaccinated, spayed or neutered, and receives medical treatment before they are placed in stable, healthy, and loving homes. To further our mission to create compassionate communities in the counties we serve, we are devoted to reducing pet overpopulation, increasing public awareness related to animal issues, and promoting pet health by providing low-cost spay and neutering services for companion animals in our community. We also work with pet owners to sustain animals in their current home by providing dietary support and consultation to mitigate, where possible, the hardships pet owners face in keeping the animal in their home.
