My story

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

AVAILABLE!
Updated 7-23-2025
Leaping Lemurs! The eyes on this girl! She might look terrified at all times, but she isn't. If you are looking for a perfect combo of super snuggler with crazy playful, and with the best purr, Emily is your girl! She is a beautiful dilute calico. She's friendly, adores people, is playful, carries on a good conversation, and wishes she was in a home. Emily is around 8 months old and has been with us all her kitten months. She is spayed, up to date on vaccinations, and microchipped. She is very petite and easy to hold. Emily hasn't made up her mind if she likes other cats or not. We do put her in the playroom with others, but she tends to sit in the corner and hiss when they get close, not mean. Please don't let that stop you from falling in love and we hope you give her the chance to become friends!

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.
