Meet Graffiti! She is a young masterpiece with a personality as fun and unique as her name! At around 10 months old, this playful girl is full of kitten energy and curiosity. She loves exploring her surroundings, chasing toys, and turning everyday moments into her own little adventures. Graffiti is affectionate, silly, and always ready to brighten your day with her playful antics. Once she’s gotten her zoomies out, she’s more than happy to curl up nearby for a nap or some well-earned cuddle time. Like many young cats, she’s still learning about the world around her and would thrive in a home that will continue to give her love, patience, and plenty of enrichment. She would do great with someone looking for a fun, interactive companion who can keep them smiling. Whether she’s batting around toys, climbing to the highest perch she can find, or simply showing off her adorable personality, Graffiti is impossible not to love. If you’re looking to add a little color, chaos, and cuddles to your life, Graffiti may be the perfect fit for you!   Due to our participation in the Vernon Hills 4th of July Parade, there will be no adoption event on Saturday, July 4, 2026.

Story
Poppy is a very social cat. She purrs a lot and gives lots of kisses. She won't sit on your lap, but she will sit beside you. Sometimes, I really think she is more of a "cat dog" than just a cat. She understands when you say "tiki" or if she wants her "yum yums". There have been many times when she has heard me coming in the door, and she waits for me. She and my dog get along well. My daughter just got a puppy, and she is a little cautious of her. The reason I have to rehome her is that she has kidney disease and urinates outside of her litter box. She has been doing this for years, and I am moving into a new house with lots of wall-to-wall carpet. She can be a bit anxious, and the construction we are doing would cause additional anxiety. But we love her dearly and are so sad to have to rehome her.

Story
Meet Rose Your Cool Cat Companion! Rose is your friend’s cool mom—the kind who cracks jokes, keeps up with the kids, and still manages to look effortlessly fabulous. This fun-loving feline used to adore playing with her kittens and will happily run around the house—zooming up and down the cat tree, chasing her favorite toys, and leaving everyone else in the dust. Her superpower? Definitely The Flash —she’s that fast! While she’s enjoyed life with other cats, Rose is 100% content to fly solo. She’s an independent lady who marches to the beat of her own purr. She could live with kittens, but would truly prefer to be the only feline in your life. She’s not clingy, but she loves being nearby—especially if her human is chill, calm, and respectful of her space. Rose prefers a quiet home without too much chaos—loud noises and surprise movements? Not her thing. She should be the fastest-moving thing in the house, thank you very much. She’d do best with older kids who understand boundaries and would be a dream roommate for someone who wants a relaxed, affectionate, and sometimes silly little sidekick. This young mama has already raised her crew and is ready for the next chapter—training for a 5k (in her dreams), chasing toy mice, lounging on the highest perch of her cat tree, and soaking up quiet moments with her favorite human. Ready to let a little grace, speed, and feline charm into your home? Apply to adopt Rose today!

Story
With his soft white and black coat and his kind, hazel eyes, Sparks has a gentle presence that instantly makes you feel at ease. And his sweet, welcoming meows—offered as a friendly hello—invite you to slow down and be in the moment. At 15 years young, this handsome senior boy has that special magic only older cats seem to have: comforting and deeply soulful. Sparks is a true people-cat who loves being part of your daily routine. He’ll confidently stroll around the house, checking in on his humans and letting you know —politely, of course — when he wants attention. His meows seem to say, “Excuse me, I think it’s time for snuggling.” He'll also show his playful spirit, peeking from his "catventure" hideout or having a good laser toy workout. Afterward, he'll melt into head rubs and then be completely content when curled up in your lap.As a mature gentleman, Sparks does have some requirements. He'll need special prescription food for kidney support. And he'd love a drinking fountain to make sure he maintains his healthy hydration. His favorite indulgence? Temptations treats. After the stress of the shelter, Sparks is longing for a peaceful, loving home where he can truly relax and savor his golden years. He would do well in an adult-only home, or one with respectful teens. Sparks also has been completely mellow with other cats and even an older, large dog, but we suspect he would thrive as your one-and-only. Seniors like Sparks have a beautiful way of settling into your life and quickly capturing your heart. If you’re dreaming of a cozy companion to share quiet evenings and meaningful moments, Sparks is ready to be wrapped into your forever.  WE DO NOT HAVE A PHYSICAL LOCATION AS WE ARE A FOSTER-BASED ORGANIZATION.  PLEASE SUBMIT AN APPLICATION TO BE IMMEDIATELY CONNECTED TO A SCREENER.

Story
Meet Mama Pixie, an adorably shy little brave girl who spent her early years as a stray. From kittenhood to adulthood, Mama Pixie learned to eke out an existence and survive in the harsh world into which she was born. Somewhere between the boundary of fear and need, Mama Pixie befriended a human who reached out to her with offerings of food and shelter. Having three kittens in tow, she was justifiably cautious at first, but she slowly began to overcome her fears and was able to accept the aid. Since entering foster care, Mama Pixie’s kittens have all been adopted and now it is time to find her the purfect loving forever home she deserves. Mama Pixie is currently living in a quiet home with adults, enjoying the comforts and company in her new indoor life. She’s a kitty that radiates a calm vibe and thrives in a serene environment. Being on the shyer side, an appropriate fit for Mama Pixie would be in a household that is on the quieter side with adults who are seasoned and patient in helping a timid cat requiring a little extra-special TLC, and a loving home where she can relax and be herself. She could do well with responsibly mature, supervised young adults who will be always mindful to be respectful of her boundaries. Let Mama Pixie grow and adapt at her own pace and you will find her to be a gentle cat willing to love and be loved. Slowly over time and with patience, Mama Pixie will come to accept your soft pets in moments of calm, once she gets to know you. Being careful not to make her feel trapped to where she has no escape is important to Mama Pixie, thus she is uncomfortable being held or picked up and is not for someone looking for a cat to cuddle. As a shy little girl, having other calm feline companions around has helped to boost Mama Pixie’s comfort. Mama Pixie is living with three friendly cats, male and female, although she clearly has shown a consistent partiality toward her male companions, grooming and laying next to them. She can be a solo cat in a home, but appreciates having another calm feline friend, her preference being a male. Mama Pixie will come to you at feeding time and show gratitude for the gifts you bring. She will share her joy while playing with her favorite toys. She revels in a warm sunbeam, lounging in a soft blanket, and delights in the activities of creatures visible through the window of her favorite spot.  Mama Pixie has a peaceful energy about her and thrives where quietness reigns over noise and chaos.  To share a life with Mama Pixie, be always mindful that her feeling safe is paramount to her happiness.  WE DO NOT HAVE A PHYSICAL LOCATION AS WE ARE A FOSTER-BASED ORGANIZATION.  PLEASE SUBMIT AN APPLICATION TO BE IMMEDIATELY CONNECTED TO A SCREENER.
