Story
Bionic is the sweetest boy with such a sad story. He was found after he had been shot. Luckily he survived after medical care. He did have to have his leg amputated. That does not stop him from being the loving cat that he is. He gets around just fine with 3 legs. He is also FIV positive so he will need a home with no cats or cats that are friendly. FIV is only transmitted through deep punctures.If you are looking for a sweet and loving guy Bionic is for you.Please fill out an application from our website.

Story
✨ Introducing the “Z Team”! ✨Five little kittens, all with names that start with Z, are ready to zig-zag their way into your heart!🐾 Zaylee, Zenda, Zadie, and Zara – our fabulous foursome of torbie sisters – are full of spunk, sweetness, and stripes. Each one has her own little flair but they all share the same talent for turning anything into a toy (including your shoelaces).🐾 Zeb – the dashing brother – is the only boy in the crew. With his ginger and white coat, he’s the perfect mix of playful and snuggly, and he’s not afraid to show his sisters how it’s done.This litter is currently growing up in a foster home, learning all the important kitten skills (like zoomies at 3 a.m. and purr therapy). They’ll be ready to meet their forever families once they turn 8 weeks old after September 5th.If you’re ready to add a little “zing” to your life, one of these Z-names might be your perfect match! 💕Apply to adopt at EffinghamCountyHumaneSociety.org

🎅🎄 Meet Santa Claws🎄🎅If your holiday season could use a little extra sparkle, Santa Claws is ready to deliver. This 4–5 month old gray tabby is sweet, cuddly, and handled his photoshoot like a seasoned pro. Costumes, props, posing — he rolled with all of it, making every picture look like it belonged on a Christmas card.Santa Claws is a genuine little lovebug who enjoys being close, soaking up attention, and settling in for long snuggle sessions. He’s confident, cooperative, and has the kind of personality that makes it easy to picture him stretched out under your tree or snoozing beside you during a holiday movie marathon.If you’re hoping to bring home a kitten who’s equal parts charm and cuddle, Santa Claws would be more than happy to spend his first Christmas in a home of his own.📋Interested in adopting?
