Calico kittens & cats in Pontiac, Illinois

Meet Benny, the friendliest little surprise guest we never expected! A friend left Benny at our house a while back and they never came back for him. He quickly made himself at home and proved to be one of the sweetest, most easygoing cats we have ever met. He loves to cuddle, purr, and nap in sunny spots, but what really makes him special is how gentle and social he is. He is great with other cats, completely fine with dogs, and so patient and loving with children. He just wants to be near people and be part of a family. As much as we adore him, we simply don’t have room for another cat long-term. We want to make sure he finds the loving home he deserves — somewhere he can settle in for good this time. If you’re looking for a loyal, laid-back companion who will fit right into your home, Benny would love to meet you. 🐾❤️

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.If you're working for home or just playing it safe by practicing social distancing, now is a perfect time to bring a new furry family member into the fold. Email us any questions about any cats we have and we will be happy to provide any additional information you may need. If you are approved for adoption, we are now doing curbside adoptions in order to minimize contact. Calypso is about 1 year old as of May 2025. She has spent a large portion of that time in confinement. That is not our usual protocol, but we were losing ground on her socialization when she came out of confinement. She was trapped as an older kitten with the intent to be socialized for adoption. Due to a series of unfortunate incidents, the window to return her back to her outside home closed, so we decided to continue efforts to socialize. Recently she has gained ground, and starts purring within a few minutes of being pet. She leans in for chin scratches, and starts to relax. She's nowhere near ready to be picked up, but she never tries the bite or scratch when pushed. She just wants to get away to her corner. We feel with time, and a small space with easily accessible spaces (no beds she can hide under) she will come around. It won't be easy, but nothing worthwhile is! She adores other cats, and a super friendly cat would likely help her get acclimated even more quickly. Apply for this beautiful girl now at safehousepets.orgVisit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.All of our cats have been spayed or neutered, vaccinated, de-wormed, microchipped, and tested for FIV/FeLV.

MooMoo is a 6 month old female, long-haired calico. She showed up on our porch and looked like she was in rough condition. We tried to see if she had a home but found out that her previous owners stopped caring for her. She's been coming around since June and we recently gave her a room in the house since it's getting colder. We would love to keep her but my husky isn't a fan. She is very affectionate, loves to cuddle and sleep on your lap, she's playful, very curious, and uses her litter box. I think she would get along with other cats and dogs but I'm not 100% sure. We got her updated on all vaccines and she is now in good health. If you're interested but too far away, I'm willing to travel within reason. We bought her 2 cat towers, window hammock, cat box, a few toys, and a cat house that we will include for free. We will also include whatever litter and food is left.

Eevee is a diva with a dash of sweetness and a whole lot of attitude—and she owns it! This independent queen likes things on her terms, but once you earn her trust (or offer her a treat), she’ll happily accept head scratches and maybe even grace you with some affection. She’s absolutely crazy for treats, so don’t be surprised if she suddenly appears out of nowhere the second she hears a crinkle. While she enjoys attention now and then, she also values her personal space and likes to do her own thing. If you’re a fan of cats with a strong personality, a little sass, and a treat-driven love language, Eevee is your perfect match. She’s looking for a home where she can rule with grace, style, and just the right amount of attitude. Eevee is Spayed, Microchipped, and up to date on Rabies and Feline Distemper vaccines!

Johnny is a handsome gray and white kitten with a tender heart and a story that tugs at the soul. He and four other cats were abandoned in a cage on our lawn, left to face an uncertain future. Johnny can be cautious when meeting new people—he’s not one to hand over his heart right away. But give him patience and kindness, and you’ll see his walls come down. Once he trusts you, Johnny transforms into one of the most affectionate, loyal companions you could ask for. He leans into your touch, melts into cuddles, and loves with his whole heart. Just like his namesake, Johnny is looking for that one true person who will stick with him, through the shy moments and into the love-filled ones. If you’re ready to give him the steady, forever home he deserves, Johnny will give you a lifelong duet of love and devotion.

The Last (and Loveliest) Cheerio in the Box! Meet Cheerio—the final piece of her adorable litter, and the sweetest little “O” you’ll ever meet. She’s soft, snuggly, and absolutely loves curling up with other kittens. Whether it's nap time or playtime, Cheerio brings comfort and charm in every moment. She’s spayed, microchipped, and up to date on vaccines—ready to roll into her forever home. Start your day with a little extra love… adopt Cheerio and make your heart (and home) whole!
