Meet Ziggy! This girl is a real sweetheart! She's very sweet, friendly, loves people, gets along with other cats, loves to be held, she's quiet, loves to be around, and ready to find her forever home. She was adopted from a kitten till a year old but her person became ill and couldn't care for her. We are hoping to find her forever home quickly. Ziggy even went on WCIA pet on the set and was carried all around the studio, she didn't mind at all. She's very easy going. She is spayed, microchipped, and up to date on vaccinations. She is sibling to Zephyr who is just as nice, was adopted and returned with her.

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.
