Story
*** To alleviate the need to bring an animal into the shelter environment, The Anti-Cruelty Society has the Home-to-Home Shelter Bypass service to help people find new accommodations for their pets privately. These animals are not located in any of the Society`s physical locations. If you are interested in adopting this animal, please do NOT click the Adopt Me button and instead reach out to the current owner directly via the email provided in the profile. As this is a Home-to-Home animal you are not required to fill out an Anti-Cruelty Society adoption application form. ***Bella is very quiet and a sleeper. She likes soaking in the sun/sun spots and sleeping. The only reason why she has to go is because she urinates on furniture. She uses the litter box but for some reason she just goes on couches, blankets, rugs, and clothes that are on the floor. She was found in 2014 by a shelter in Chicago on April 1st. She does not bite. She tolerates kids very well, but she does not like when kids are rough with her. For adoption information, please email abrialanier3@gmail.com.

Story
Meet Mores, a senior cat with a heart full of sweetness and bravery. Though he may be shy at first, he warms up quickly with a little patience and the enticing sound of a jingle ball. His favourite hiding spot is under the bed, a cozy retreat where he feels safe and secure. Mores has a special affinity for chin scritches, his purring engine revving up at the slightest touch. His demeanor is calm, and he has a lot of love to give. Despite his senior status, Mores still has plenty of playful energy. Mores is not just a cat, he`s a companion. His soft purrs and gentle nudges are his way of saying he trusts you. He`s not just brave with people, but also with other cats. He doesn`t mind sharing his space and can often be found peacefully cohabitating with his feline friends. He`s looking for a forever home where he can share his golden years, providing comfort, companionship, and the softest purrs you`ve ever heard. Adopt Mores and add a touch of joy to your life.

Story
Meet Pants! Although we are still getting to know Pants, we do know that she can start off a bit shy in new situations, but she is curious and gentle, and will just need a little time to come around to show you what a wonderful gal she is! With some love, some fun kitty toys and playtime with you, soon Pants will be a fun and loving new member of the family! Pants is one of our special care pets meaning she needs a bit more love. Pants had an old injury in her rear leg that may require additional vet visits in the future. However Pants does not let this get her down and is ready for a cozy home to call her own. If you are looking for your new best friend, come to Anti-Cruelty and meet with Pants today, we do same day adoptions!

Story
Say hello to Ophelia! Ophelia is a sassy and spunky girl that is looking for a cat savvy family. Ophelia is a goofy girl that loves to play by her own rules. She loves the spotlight and would prefer not to share it with any other furry friends. Ophelia is a particular girl that is fine if you look, but not always a big fan of the touch. Chin scratches are a-okay in moderation, but Ophelia can get overstimulated and prefers pets to be limited and on her own terms. Due to her very firm boundaries, Ophelia would due best in a mature household. Ophelia is very active and would love someone willing to set up lots of games and activities for her. Activities to keep her busy, stimulated, and calm will help her thrive in her new home. Ophelia is on behavior medication to assist in keeping her a bit more calm, and she would need to stay on these long term. If you consider yourself a big fan of sassy, playful, and iconic kitties, come on down to AC and meet with Ophelia, we do same day adoptions!
