My story

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

Updated 7-28-2025
Meet Paintbrush. This guy is quiet, gets along with other cats, but is very shy with people. He is very curious and really wants to be in the know but stays where he feels safe. He has come a long way since he first came a few years ago, and he is looking for a home with love and patience to win him over and an understanding he may never be a snuggler. He'd be a great mouser too as he loves chasing toys and loves batting at them. He is brother to Tumbleweed, they get along great but they are not bonded. He's neutered , microchipped, and up to date on vaccinations. He's 2-1/2-3 years old. Please consider adopting him with a friendlier long-term roommate for confidence.
If you have just the place for Tumbleweed, please contact Connie 217-799-8858 or 217-655-4353. And please email citizensanimalrescue@gmail.com for an application. We are located at 609 E 5th St, 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.
