Story

⚽ Meet Lionel Hi, I’m Lionel! I was named after a famous footballer, so I’m hoping my own World Cup journey ends with a championship home. 🏆 I’m a 1-year-old boy who came from a TNR partner after originally being surrendered to Chicago Animal Care and Control. I’ve been taking things one day at a time. I’m a shy guy at first, but I’m getting braver every day. My favorite thing? Mini Mouse toys! 🐭 They bring out my playful side and are a great way to get to know me. I’m still learning that people can be trusted. I’ll allow some pets, and I’ve even surprised my friends with a little headbutt for affection. The secret to my heart is patience: move slowly, come in from the side, and let me approach you. I do best when I’m allowed to set the pace. I may not be the boldest player on the field right away, but give me some time and encouragement, and you’ll see me come out of my shell. ❤️ I’m looking for a patient adopter who understands shy cats and will give me the time I need to feel safe and confident. If you’re willing to let me warm up at my own speed, I just might become your favorite teammate. I’m ready for my next big match: finding my forever home. ⚽🐾

Story

Our mom was rescued and my brothers and I were born in a home. We did great with the kids, including a one-year old, as well as their cats. I can be a little bit shy with new people and not as extravert as my brothers but so are people. I’m also quite playful so being by myself would not be fun. So what about adopting me with one of my brothers or another feline friend? Second adoption fee is 50% off for Double the Love, Double the Fun! I’m at the PetSmart in Kildeer on Route 12.

Story

Our mom was rescued and my brothers and I were born in a home. We did great with the kids, including a one-year old, as well as their cats. Jumping up and climbing are so much fun. After all, you get such a great view of what is happening and it can be quite relaxing. I was also known as the one to stick his nose where I was not supposed. Hey, if they opened the dryer, I had to jump in to check it out. I’m a loving, happy and active cat and would love to get adopted with one or even two of my brothers…or another friend.
