Calico kittens & cats in Mount Zion, Illinois

Was in the back yard someone dumped

We have an 8-year-old spade female cat that we need to rehome. We have two kids and lots of neighborhood kids in and out of the house all the time as well as two other dogs and another cat and she is just so stressed out by the kids and the dogs that she tries to hide under the bed for 98% of the day. She is a sweet girl, but she needs a quieter, less chaotic household.

Strudel raised her kittens and now has been looking for her forever home. She is looking for a home without too much activity. She’s being fostered with both small dogs and other adult cats.  Head scratches are a favorite, but she is not a fan of being held. This girl is so gorgeous in person!June 10, 2026, 12:13 am
