Story
Hi! My name is Elvis, I was adopted as a kitten from a humane shelter all the way in Birmingham, AL. I am now 6 years old and recently got moved to Aurora, IL. I love to meow from time to time, cuddle up next to you and eat lol. I could use a good cat scratcher if you’ve got one too! I just want someone who will love me and my weirdo quirks like my mama does. She hates to see me leave, but wants me to be happy. Elvis doesn’t require much, just a little love and attention.

Story
We took Maple in a few months ago when a friend found out she was pregnant and could not keep her or the kittens. She has since had the babies and they have all found loving homes. Maple was born in July 2024 is one year old. She is a very friendly cat and has done good with our other cats and small dogs. She loves affection and to talk to you. She is completely litter trained and has no other issues. We are looking for someone who will take good care of Maple and give her the love and care she deserves.

Story
Hello! They call me Thumper. I am 1 years old, and I am a medium haired grey kitty girl. I'm somewhat shy but if you give me time and know how to bribe me (kitty treats!) I will be on your lap.I've learned while being in my foster home that the other kitties come to my foster family for affection. I say to myself Oh, I wish I could do that too. I watch and watch and guess what? I have started to come around and be closer to people in the past week. One day I got so brave I hopped on my foster Moms lap when she was watching TV. They call that baby steps but for a shy girl like me it's like one giant step. I like it when my foster Mom brushes my pretty fur. That's how my coat is so shiny and healthy. Also, I like it when me & my sister Po plus the other kitty girls hang out together. We have one big kitty pile and we groom each other. Got to stay pretty so our family's can see us.I hope when you come to visit me and choose me as your new pet my new family will be understanding on my shyness and can understand that time & patience for me to come to you. I know you'll have a lap waiting for me.Ill tell some secrets my foster Mom learned about me to build my trust. Classical music calms down and I LOVE Made by Nacho treats, well really any treats get this girl motivated!Know what I also love? My sister Po. You might have seen the pictures of me cuddling with a white kitty. That's Po. She's braver than me and I hope when a family comes to meet me, they can also meet Po and maybe we can go together. Two kitties are a blast to have and I will always have a best friend. Actually, I will have 2 BFs - my sister and my new family!Xoxo,ThumperThumper and Po are located in our foster home in Hanover Park.

Story
Hello, my name is Cinderella and I'm a grey tabby with hints of brown & honey fur. I'm a really pretty girl but on the older side. Some folks like the younger kittens so hopefully when you read my profile you'll be interested in me. I am 10 years young.I was found as a stray. Nobody knows how I got out in the wintertime but I'm so glad someone turned me and brought me to a local animal control. Maybe because I'm so friendly it was easy for my rescuer to bring me in. I was definitely someone's kitty at one time.My foster family took me to a vet and the kitty doctor said for gal my (estimated) age that my tests passed with flying colors! That's great news ... and I didn't even have to study for those tests (blood tests).I'm a chatty girl and I like to be held. My favorite place is your lap. If you like to sit and watch TV or read, I'll make a great companion. Maybe because my bones are a bit older, young kids I should have a caution and/or younger cats.I'm in a foster home that has other cats. I don't mind them, but I prefer my human better. Even though I'm in my "mature" years I have a lot of spunk. I love to play and be silly. I like when my foster Mom plays with me. I grab her hand, so she doesn't stop. I love all the attention.I hope one day I will have a family again. I hope someone will give a mature gal like me a chance for a forever home. I may have many years ahead and I would love to have my journey start with you.Can't wait for us to meet!Love,CinderellaCinderellais located in our foster home in Aurora.

Story
Bug and Meadow are an inseparable duo, bringing double the love and double the fun! These two sweethearts are not just companions, but best friends, and they’re looking for a loving home where they can stay together. Bug is a handsome, larger cat around 3 years old, full of energy and affection. He’s not just about playtime (though he does love chasing after toys and showing off his jumps); he’s also a big snuggler. He adores being held, and he’ll happily settle into the crook of your arm while you watch TV. He’s a smart boy too, knowing a few tricks like sitting on command and guessing which hand holds the treat. These besties come with all the accessories they need, including a litter box, scratching post, fluffy bed, play tunnel, and plenty of toys to keep them happy. We’re hoping to find a home where Bug and Meadow can continue their journey together. They’ve found comfort and joy in each other, and we’re sure they’ll bring the same to you!
