Beautiful Emily! The eyes on this girl! She might look terrified at all times, but she isn't. Emily is misunderstood and we are looking for her person. If you are looking for a perfect combo of super sweet one minute with playful version the next, add in a fun personality, Emily is your girl! She is a beautiful dilute calico. She adores her people, and wishes she was in a home with a person to love her. Emily hasn't made up her mind if she likes other cats or not. We do put her in the playroom alone, but with other cats she hisses if they approach. She isn't mean or aggressive with them, but she doesn't seem to trust them. We think with proper introduction and friendly respectful cats, Emily would adjust. She'd also be great as an only cat. Emily celebrated her first birthday and has been with us since a baby. She is spayed, up to date on vaccinations, and microchipped. We hope you will give her the chance to become your friend!
Please email citizensanimalrescue@gmail.com and contact 217-799-8858 or 217-655-4353 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.
