UPDATE 7-29-2025
Andromeda is very sweet and loving and she gets along with other cats. She is a bonded cat and loves to rest and play with her sister Athena. She also sits on your shoulder and chest while watching TV and will grab your cheek ever so lightly and rub her nose to your cheek, she is a sweetheart. Andromeda went in to foster as a tiny baby and is now 2 years old. Fosters are wonderful but they are meant to be temporary, and we need to find a home for this sweet girl and her sister. We are looking for someone very loving and patient because although Andromeda is confident and wonderful in her safe space, she is very scared in a new environment. We need someone to allow her time to adjust, and you will have an amazing friend and companion. She gets along with friendly dogs. She is spayed, microchipped, and up to date on vaccinations.
We are located at 609 E 5th St, Tilton, IL 61833. Please contact (217) 799-8858 or (217) 655-4353 with any questions. Please email citizensanimalrescue@gmail.com for an application.

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.
