Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Does your cat need a cat? Meet Nixie! Nixie came to the shelter as a young kitten who had not interacted with many people before and she's still learning to trust humans. She does, however, absolutely love other cats and would love nothing more than to be your cat's new best friend while she gets to know you!
Weight: 5 lbs (and growing!)
Spayed/Neutered: Yes!
Up to date on vaccines: Yes!
Microchipped: Yes!
Litter trained: Yes! They will potty in the litter box every time or nearly every time (rarely has accidents).
Cat sociability: They love them! They thrive with a cat buddy and are required to live in a forever home with at least one other cat.
Dog sociability: Unknown! They have never met a dog while in foster care.
Kid sociability: Stranger danger! They are reactive toward new people and may hiss, charge at, or swat at strangers, but they do eventually warm up with a proper introduction.
Likes: Napping with her cat friends, playing with the wand toy, collecting little stuffies in her bed
Dislikes: Huggers who don't ask first
Nixie is an under-socialized kitten who will need to be adopted into a home with other cats. She will require ongoing positive socialization to learn to be her best, most confident self!
If you’d like to meet Nixie, please fill out an adoption application at animalcareleague.org/adoptions and send us an email at adoption@animalcareleague.org to schedule an introduction!

More about this shelter
The Animal Care League was founded in 1973 as the Village Humane Society to help homeless animals in the Oak Park community. After a few years of operations, the Humane Society realized the need for help extended beyond the Oak Park borders and changed its name to the Animal Care League to better communicate our purpose.
At the beginning, the ACL did not have a physical shelter to house animals. Instead, supporters cared for animals in their homes until a permanent home could be found. This personal touch was very nice, however, it greatly limited the number of animals that could be helped and made the adoption process very slow. In the late 1970’s, the Animal Care League rented its first shelter, relocating to a new building a few years later. For many years the shelter worked out of this small facility, but in 1998 we moved again to our current location. We have the capacity to house up to thirty-three dogs, more than 120 cats and many other little critters such as birds, rabbits, mice, snakes and even chickens.
From the very beginning, the ACL has had a policy of keeping adoptable animals until we could find them a home and this is still in practice today. This means that no matter how long it takes, we keep an adoptable animal with us until we find that right loving home. Even though the number of animals coming through our doors for help each year has increased by 100 percent in the last several years alone, we firmly believe in this policy and will continue to give every animal the best opportunity possible to find a new home. We have accomplished this by taking proactive approaches to animal care and adoption as well as preventative measures to help reduce the number of homeless animals in our communities.
The Animal Care League works very hard to keep our animals healthy, reduce the number and severity of behavior problems and to act proactively in finding new homes for our pets.
