My story

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

Hi there, I'm Whisper and I am 4 years old! I'm a very soft, very round 26-pound lady who has had quite the journey. I was left at PCAPS when my people moved. By the time I arrived, my long grey tabby fur was so matted it clung to my skin. But even through it all, I never stopped purring. I'm gentle, quiet, and happiest when I'm near a kind human who will stroke my cheeks and tell me I'm safe now. I love people! If you sit down, I will waddle over, flop beside you, and purr my big happy purr. I don't need much, just love, soft words, and someone loyal to be my forever family. Because I am such a big girl, I do need a home that will help me lose some weight slowly and carefully, so it doesn't hurt my liver. And since my fur needs a little extra help to stay clean, I'm looking for someone patient and gentle--someone who won't mind brushing me or helping with the hard-to-reach spots. If you want an affectionate, easygoing sweetheart who just wants to be loved, I'm ready for my new beginning. Please fill out an online application today to meet me.

More about this shelter

TAPS-Tazewell Animal Protective Society was founded in 1958 in Pekin Illinois in a building donated by the City of Pekin on River Road. In 1979, rapidly rising river water forced the evacuation of the animals. Once again, the City of Pekin stepped in and donated a building for the animals. Several moves later, and with the help and generosity of many volunteers and community members, TAPS now has a new home at 100 TAPS Lane. Last year we celebrated 50 year of caring for the homeless animals of Central Illinois.
